Fundamentals of Sucker Rod Lift School

Monday, April 21

“Fundamentals of Sucker Rod Lift” is a one-day seminar on the principles of sucker rod lift.  Each component of the sucker rod lift system is discussed including the pumping unit, rods, tubing, pump, gas separator and prime mover.  How the components function and interact with each other is presented so that the attendee can understand the entire operating system and how the components interact.  An understanding of the reservoir and its producing potential and behavior must also be known to optimize the well’s performance.  Attendees will learn the principles of sucker rod lift systems and how to produce wells efficiently.  The results of application of this information in the field will be an increase in production, a reduction in operating expense and greater profits.

Instructors for this one-day school are Jim McCoy and Lynn Rowlan - Echometer Company, Benny Williams – Harbison-Fischer, Tony Podio – University of Texas, Russell Stevens –Norris Rods, Jim Lea – PL Technology, LLC, and Andy Cordova – Lufkin Automation.
