Progressing Cavity Pumps

about

Want to reduce your operating expenses and increase production efficiency? Progressing Cavity Pumps (PCP) might be the right option for you. PCPs are positive displacement pumps engineered to deliver variable rates, constant head and superior sand lifting capability. PCPs typically have lower operating and capital costs partly due to simpler installations and lower power consumption compared to other artificial lift methods. PCPs also handle produced solids and high viscosity fluids better than other forms of artificial lift. Read below for the top ten must-knows about PCPs.
1. Great Production Efficiency Highest production efficiency compared to other artificial lift technology, which means pumping up your bottom line has never been easier. 2. High Energy Efficiency Typically 80% better total system efficiency compared to other artificial lift methods such as rod pumps, ESPs, jet pumps and gas lift. 3. Remarkable Versatility With a wide operating range, PCPs are capable of handling from 6 49 API oil, and virtually any sand cut that is economical to pump. 4. Corrosives, Abrasives, Aromatics No problem PCPs are able to handle a variety of tough conditions including: High aromatics Up to 20% CO2 From 0 - 100% water cut Up to 15% H2S Corrosives - with resistant coated rotors Abrasives - PCPs were made for them 5. Heat It Up High temperature PCPs are now available for thermal applications and are capable of withstanding temperatures up to 350C.

6. Easy Installation No big parts to move, so setup is a breeze. PCP specialists can get you up and running in no time. 7. Size Matters PCPs dont get in the way. The small footprint is environmentally friendly and simple to work around as land owners can still irrigate their land. PCPs are also easy on the eyes compared to some other forms of artificial lift. 8. Readily Available Short delivery times enable you to get your pump quickly and start producing sooner as service centres are close to your fields. 9. Multiple Drive Options Electric or hydraulic Driveheads. Power Units, Gen-Sets Propane, casing gas, diesel, grid power Powering up has never been easier. 10. Optimization PCPs have come a long way and now offer automated optimization units that monitor torque, measure flow rates and adjust pump speed so you get the most from your well every time. Most are remotely accessible, which enable you to make changes anytime, anywhere.
