barrel is 50 sq. Inch; stroke length is 60 in. Max speed is 24 strokes per minute. Efficiency
is 80%.

400 bbl/d of fluid at the surface. If local experience indicates pump efficiency of 80%,
what pump size would you recommend? Effective stroke length is 10 in. SPM = 100.

Question 3
An E & P company found that efficiency of sucker rod pump decreases with time. They
want to calculate efficiency ratio after one year of production when its initial efficiency is
90%. Now the sucker rod has surface stroke length of 64 inches, rod stretch is around 20
inches, plunger overtravel is 10 inch and plunger length is 5 inches. Area of working barrel
is 40 in2. Max speed is 20 spm. Pump rate is 4055 bbl/day.
Solution
Data;
Øi = 0.9
Surface stroke length = 64 in
Rod stretch = 20 in
Plunger overtravel = 10 in
Plunger length = 5 in
A = 40 in2
N = 20 spm
Q = 4055 bbl/d
Efficiency ratio = ?

We know that;
𝑄 =𝑉×𝑁×∅

For Q in bbl/day

Question 4
Determine the pump speed (spm) needed to produce 250 STB/d at the surface with a rod
pump having a 2-in.-diameter plunger, a 50-in. effective plunger stroke length, and a
volumetric efficiency of 0.8. The oil formation volume factor is 1.2.

L = 50 in

flow rate.

𝑁 = 16 𝑠𝑝𝑚
The required pump speed is found to be 16 spm.

Question 5
The gas is being injected at the wellhead at a pressure of 1100 psi. the pressure of the gas
in the annulus increases with depth due to its density (typically at the rate of 30 psi/ 1000
ft). The gas is initially being injected at the valve 4 at 3800 ft. The well is producing with a
500 psi drawdown. There is 250 psi pressure drop across the gas lift valve. Well depth is
7200 ft.
Draw a pressure traverse through a well by using the give data and find the flowing tubing
pressure gradient above and below the point of injection.
Solution
Well head pressure Pwh = 100 psi
Gas injection at 3800’
Gas Injection pressure at wellhead = 1100 psi
Pressure drop across operating valve = 250 psi
