Typically, when talk turns to power plant pumps, boiler feed and cooling water pumps immediately dominate the discussion. And that’s as it should be: these pumps are critical to a plant’s thermal ...

A study of a mature onshore field with more than 70 rod-pumped wells found several ways for improving pumping operations. The profitability of rod pumping is a direct function of the energy ...

Part I of this series introduced the lead/lag control strategy as it applies to parallel pump operation and discussed the need for identifying the designer’s intent for a particular system. Part II ...

A timer or pump-off controller (POC) can improve overall beam-pump efficiency for a well with a pump capacity greater than its production capacity. More than 400,000 wells in the U.S. operate with ...

Cold weather pumping can present a variety of problems as compared to pumping in moderate temperatures. Most obvious, of course, is if the concrete freezes in the boom or other parts of the unit such ...
