A beam pump, also known as a pumpjack or sucker rod pump, is an artificial lift system used to extract oil or other fluids from underground wells. It utilizes a surface-based pumping unit to create reciprocating motion, which is then transmitted down the wellbore to a downhole pump. This pump moves the fluid up to the surface.Here's a more detailed breakdown:
-
A beam pump system consists of a pumping unit (often a nodding donkey or pumpjack) at the surface, a string of sucker rods connecting the surface unit to the downhole pump, and a downhole pump with a plunger and valve assembly.
-
The surface pumping unit, typically powered by an engine or electric Motor, converts rotary motion into linear, reciprocating motion. This movement is then transferred through the sucker rods to the downhole pump.
-
The plunger and valve assembly within the downhole pump converts the reciprocating motion into fluid movement, lifting the fluid up the wellbore.
-
Beam pumps are commonly used for wells with moderate to low production rates, particularly in onshore oil and gas fields. They are a reliable and cost-effective method for artificial lift in these types of wells.
-
Beam pumps are known for their simplicity, reliability, and ease of maintenance. They also have a proven track record in the oil and gas industry.
