FUNDAMENTALS OF SUCKER ROD LIFT SCHOOL

“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.

CO2 SURFACE FACILITIES, DO’S AND DON’TS (2-DAY SCHOOL)

“CO2 Surface Facilities, Do’s and Don’ts” is a two-day workshop. Scope of the workshop is to cover
practical operational practices in CO2 flooding from facilities to specialized equipment in handling this
recovery system from bottom hole injection to bottom hole production. Detailing and defining the team
work and synergy required in operating a CO2 flood by the facilities plant, mechanical, production,
reservoir, and geophysical engineering involvement is discussed.
Operational controls, storage and transportation, and downhole injection and production control will be
covered. The goals and practical resulting recovery of a CO2 Flood must be carried out by the operating
teams through a communication and reporting system focused on meeting the initial goals. Well
remediation and maintenance requirements are also fundamental to a successful operation. Services capable
of addressing corrosion, organic deposits, metering, stimulating, performing damage removal, solving and
remediating well problems, specialized well tools, tubulars, isolation and zonal controls, and pumping
systems are discussed.
This workshop is designed for Pumpers, Production Engineers, Reservoir Engineers, Field Foremen,
Superintendents, Geologists and anyone wanting to better understand the operations of a CO2 Flood Unit.

Instructors for this course will be Prentice Creel and John Gerke - Kinder Morgan CO2, LLP.; Rebecca
Larkin, Bass Operating and Production Company; Mark Nicholas and Chris Bledsoe – Nicholas
Consulting; Chance Dobson and Jason Bose – Baker Hughes Centrilift; and Sebastian Mancuso, Don
Stegmann, Keith Bartrip and Ken Barker – Baker Petrolite.

TUESDAY, APRIL 21

On Tuesday, four pre-conference schools will be presented concurrently in separate rooms on 1) Sucker
Rod Concepts, Design and Technology; 2) Dismantle, Inspection and Failure Analysis – A “Unified”
Approach; 3) Corrosion and Chemicals in Production Operations, and 4) Back to Basic on Cementing,
Stimulation and More. Also on Tuesday the CO2 Surface Facilities, Do’s and Don’ts will be continued.
All the pre-conference schools are scheduled at the Lubbock Memorial Civic Center, beginning at 8:00
a.m. and lasting until 5:00 p.m. Pre-registration is required for any of the pre-conference schools.

SUCKER ROD CONCEPTS, DESIGN AND TECHNOLOGY SCHOOL

This workshop introduces sucker rod concepts and presents how dynamometer pump card analysis can be
used to identify downhole operation problems. Understanding and troubleshooting the sucker rod
pumping system can be aided through animation of surface and pump card loads and positions; animations
will be used to show common sucker rod pumping problems. The sucker rod pumping system loads and
polished rod position throughout a stroke can be predicted using the wave equation. The sucker rod string
analyzed with data collected using a dynamometer system. The rod string can be thought as being
infinitely long rod, where the rod string can be analyzed at any point along its length. Crooked holes and
well bore deviation impact the design and analysis of the rod string. The effect of changing a parameter
such as tubing anchor, stroke length, stroke rate, and pump diameter should be evaluated prior to making a
change to a well. Gas interference, fluid pound and downhole compressive forces result in rod buckling
and increased failures due to rod on tubing wear. New technology allows a planned or existing sucker rod
system design to be evaluated and given a passing A, B, C, D, or failing F grade. This seminar will
introduce various sucker rod concepts and help the participant understand how this technology can be used
to improve the operation of sucker rod lifted wells.

Lynn Rowlan - Echometer Company; Jim Lea – PL Technology, LLC.; John Svinos – Theta Enterprises,
and Jeff DaCunha - Spirit Energy will be presenting this course.

DISMANTLE, INSPECTION AND FAILURE ANALYSIS –

A “UNIFIED” APPROACH
This course is being presented by John Patterson and Jeff Dwiggins of ConocoPhillips. The course will
cover:
1. Introduction – Brief overview of course content and objective, which is to determine the “root cause of
the failure”.
2. Post Failure Requirements – Discussion of actions to be initiated upon a failure. This section outlines
the importance of capturing data that may otherwise be lost. Very often, operators and manufacturers do
not react quickly enough to quarantine valuable data that can lead directly to the root cause of failure.
3. Pre-pull Requirements – This section will outline what should occur prior to pulling the failed ESP.
The discussion will stress the need for both the operator and manufacturer’s service representative to be
fully prepared to capture data while the ESP is being pulled.
4. Pulling the ESP - The section will outline key observations, actions required and data collection during
the retrieval of the ESP from the wellbore. Valuable data is often lost due to the failure to recognize the
importance of collecting data during a pull. This section will also highlight some significant improvements
for observations and data gathering that are normally missed.
5. Dismantle requirements and procedure – Participants will be broken into separate groups to visit
"component" areas. The purpose of this section will be to allow participants to gain "hands-on" evaluation
of various components. The major areas will be: Motors, Seals/Protectors, Pumps/Gas Separators
& Cable. Examples will be given with the participants being encouraged to actively participate in
reviewing actual failed components.
6. Break-Out Case Study - If time permits, a break out case study will be given to the individual groups.
The purpose of the case study will be to gain an understanding of the difficulty in conducting proper failure
analysis as well as to emphasize the importance of collecting valuable data.
7. Root cause determination – Reinforce the importance of determining "root-cause" for any failure.
Specific emphasis will be given to the "5-Whys" methodology.

CORROSION AND CHEMICALS IN PRODUCTION OPERATIONS

This school will cover the fundamentals of corrosion along with inhibiting and monitoring production
wells. Additionally, production and operating problems caused by scale, paraffin, asphaltenes and bacteria
will be presented. This includes formation, detection and prevention. The fundamentals of production
coatings including types, applications and limitations and the use of surfactants/foamers for gas well
deliquification will be covered. Technical experts from various industry companies will be teamed together
to cover these main topics. Norman W. Hein, Jr., P.E., Oil & Gas Optimization Specialists. LTD is the
session coordinator and instructor.

BACK TO BASICS ON CEMENTING, STIMULATION AND MORE

This one-day seminar is designed to provide individuals, both new and experienced, in the oilfield with an
overview of the basics of cementing, perforating, stimulation, tools and chemicals. Individuals experienced
in each of these areas will give a one-hour overview on each of the above mentioned topics. These will not
be in-depth, but simple discussions of the main elements. In addition, the discussions should provide
guidelines to the questions needed to be asked that would help one work through an application.

Attendees will leave with an understanding of the basics of primary and remedial cementing, perforation
choices and schemes, acidizing, hydraulic fracturing, choices and applications of service tools and
variations in chemicals to enhance production and minimize wellbore and surface equipment problems.
Covered will be some basic calculations, discussions of procedures, choosing the correct materials,
limitations and more.

Instructors for this one-day course are Steve Metcalf, BJ Services; Prentice Creel, Kinder Morgan CO2;
Bill Polk, Enertech; Jim Trela, Halliburton; John Todd with Nalco and representatives from Weatherford.

(1) BENEFITS OF SUSTAINABLE ELECTRICAL PROTECTION
Ted Arbuckle and Zafiris Politis, Raycap Inc.

As today’s artificial lift equipment becomes more sophisticated and

provides greater rates of return it is more important than ever to strive for
100% reliability. Since the equipment is often deployed in harsh electrical
environments it is important to take effective measures to protect this
equipment from damaging electrical surges.

This paper will explore various methods that have been used to protect
artificial lift equipment in the harsh electrical environments where they are
often deployed. It will focus on practical applications, and solutions that
are simple to install and have proven effective over multiple years of
deployment. The paper will include a case study which demonstrates the
economic benefits of using sustainable electrical protection systems to
maintain production and protect artificial lift equipment from damaging
electrical disturbances.

The material will be presented in a very straight forward manner and

should be of interest to all.

(2) SAFETY AROUND PUMPING UNITS

Travis Bell, Lufkin Automation

Safety around Pumping Units is a basic overview of safety policies and

procedures used by oilfield service companies to comply with federal
regulations as well as requirements set forth by oil companies in order to
achieve the overall goal of zero incidents and zero injuries.

(3) TRAINING STANDARDS - BASIC ROD PUMP DESIGN AND THE

EFFECTS OF TAGGING
Larry Hambreck, Robert Hillger and Albert Garza
Pioneer Natural Resources
Charlie Burdette and Rodney Sands
Harbison-Fischer
Johnny Bunsen, Tommy White Supply

With the exponential growth that our industry has experienced, Pioneer
Natural Resources needed additional training for their new hires
concerning basic rod pump design and how the rod pump works in a
normal pumping system. With PNR’s vendor base, pumpers, technicians
and management, we worked together to develop this training
presentation.
 Our discussions lead us to the issue of tagging wells and the effects it has
on the entire pumping system. This team realized that this school would be
beneficial to all field employees, not just new hires.

(4) WELL WEIGHING - A LOST ART?

Jeffrey J. DaCunha and Andy J. Fires, Spirit Global Energy Solutions, Inc.
Albert Garza and Rowland Ramos, Pioneer Natural Resources

There is no substitute for going out to a pumping unit and gathering data
from a dynamometer, amp clamp, motor rpm, and fluid level in order to
fully analyze a well and have as complete an understanding as possible.
The physical act of stacking the well and attaching the horseshoe load cell
along with the associated peripherals is becoming a lost art. In this study,
we investigate the advantages in obtaining a thorough well analysis the old
fashioned way and give examples of how a dynamometer and fluid level
analysis outweigh any other type of study that can be performed on a well
to obtain quantitative data on all the equipment, from the prime mover
down to the pump.

(5) STATE-OF-THE-ART OF AUTOMATION FOR GAS WELL

DELIQUIFICATION
Cleon Dunham, Oilfield Automation Consulting
Gregg Hurst, Weatherford Production Automation
James F. Lea, P.L. Tech
Greg Stephenson, Occidental Petroleum Co.

Automation of artificial lift systems is essential for effective management

of deliquification for gas wells. There are at least fifteen forms of
artificial lift in use for gas well deliquification. Often more than one
method must be used in a given field because some methods are preferable
earlier in a well’s life and others are better later in a well’s life.

Production Operators must have effective tools for gas well operation,
surveillance, problem detection, control, and optimization. And, to be
effective, there can’t be a different tool for each form of artificial lift; there
must be commonality of approach.

This paper reviews the current state-of-the-art in automation of gas wells,

with a clear eye on the needs of the Production Operators for
understandability, functionality, ease of use, and economics.

(6) THE USE OF INFRARED THERMOGRAPHY

IN THE OIL AND GAS FIELD
Joe Flud, Pioneer Natural Resources
Sophia Panos, The Marshall-Teichert Group
 Historically, gas recovery was not considered a profitable proposition for
producers in the Permian Basin. Today’s commodity gas pricing makes it
a viable revenue generator with a 10:1 recovery payback. Safety and
environmental incident prevention, lost profit potential, responsibility to
shareholders, and the economics and feasibility of thermal imaging create
a convincing case for investing in infrared thermography. Pioneer Natural
Resources operates 5600 producing wells and 1617 tank storage batteries,
with more than 2,000 miles of flow and transmission line in the Permian
asset. In 2007 the company invested in a gas leak detection camera and a
thermographer. The economics, safety and environmental benefits proved
so compelling that a second camera and thermographer were added in
2008.

(7) THE ULTIMATE FILTRATION TOOL

Russell Franklin, Odessa Separators, Inc.

Sand problems can cost a company valuable time, money, and resources.
Various methods have been used to reduce sand problems experienced in
rod pump operations. This paper will present an alternative solution
utilizing Pump Screens and Tubing Screens to handle the sand problem
and increase production and profit capability. Illustrations will be
examined which explain how the Pump and Tubing Screens function, and
case studies will be reviewed that discuss the benefits and limitations of
the screens.

(8) LEBRO PUMP SYSTEMS - FILLING THE GAP @ LOW SPM

Alex Rodriguez, BP
Katherine Gallagher, Pioneer Natural Resources

A growing majority of oil and gas fields in North America are mature or
heavily depleted proposing many challenges for economic production.
Low reservoir pressures, along with liquid loading, have become some of
the main hurdles to overcome when attempting to economically produce
natural gas. Deliquifying wells using artificial lift has become a prominent
method used to tackle these issues. This paper discusses the challenges
faced in the Oil and Gas industry with an eye to deliquifying mature or
depleted reservoirs. It describes the pros and cons of the pump jack and
the LeBro pump actuator currently being tested; it compares the cost of
installing a pump jack vs. a LeBro pump actuator; and it also talks about
testing done on horizontal Coal Bed Methane wells, and future design and
implementation on deep well application (~12,500').

(9) LEVERAGING HYBRID WIRELESS SYSTEMS

Jim Gardner, FreeWave
 Companies with large geographically dispersed networks, such as those in
the oil and gas industry, can select one technology, one source, one
vendor, to collect, retrieve, report data, and to assess the health of the
network. Sometimes, this type of approach makes sense. However, other
times integrating other types of technologies offer significant benefits that
can easily and more cost-effectively be incorporated into one cohesive
network.

In fact, the days of building large, unmanageable networks are behind us.
Building large, elaborate radio networks is a way a company might
demonstrate its vast expertise and deep knowledge base. However, there
are options that allow us to consider better manageability, expandability,
cost and speed.

(10) WIRELESS PLUNGER LIFT SYSTEMS

Jim Gardner, FreeWave

Automation electronics manufacturers have been focusing a great deal of

their development efforts on the plunger lift control application during
recent years. The objective has been to automate this process – through
the use of electronics – and to also improve the time-based shut in
procedures.

Why do this wirelessly? There are several compelling reasons, but the
most compelling is expense. The other factors are:
• Faster installations, wireless can be running in 30 minutes verses
several days with conventional wired methods.
• Less repair, a common source of irritation on well sites is the cut wire
that was inadvertently severed when something was added later.

(11) EXTENDING TUBING LIFE WITH ENDURALLOY TUBING

Albert Garza and Larry Hambeck, Pioneer Natural Resources
Scott W. Long, Flexbar, Inc.
Johnny Bunsen, Tommy White Supply

In 2006, 18 subject wells were selected to increase the Mean Time

between Tubing Leaks by strategically installing EndurAlloy Tubing.

From August 4, 2006 through August 31, 2008, failure performance was
monitored for these 18 wells.

All 18 wells were initially installed with bare 2-3/8” tubing and 6 joints of
2-3/8” EndurAlloy on the bottom. As a result of 19 well service events
(17 failures and 2 non-failures) in 10 wells, initial tubing designs were
modified from the original design.
 6 Wells Bare 2-3/8”, IPC and EndurAlloy Tubing 12 Well
Service Events
3 Wells Bare 2-3/8”, EndurAlloy Tubing and IPC 3 Well
Service Events
1 Well Bare 2-3/8” and EndurAlloy Tubing 1 Well
Service Event
8 Wells Bare 2-3/8” and EndurAlloy Tubing 0 Well
Service Events

This paper reports performance from continued monitoring of Tubing

Leaks with all wells installed with EndurAlloy Tubing.

(12) OPTIMIZING PRODUCTION AND OVERALL EFFCIENCY

WITH INTELLIGENT LONG STROKE
HYDRAULIC PUMPING SYSTEM
Wallace Huard, DynaPump, Inc.

Many factors are involved when selecting the most cost effective artificial
lift system. This paper will discuss the advantages of The DynaPump
Intelligent Long Stroke Hydraulic Pumping System compared to other
artificial lift systems.
This system has characteristics that allow for operation at much slower
strokes per minute greatly reducing tubing and sucker rod wear while
retaining the ability to produce at greater volumes from deeper depths than
conventional beam pumping units. This system also has features that
provide superior efficiency and flexibility at any rate and depth compared
to other artificial lift methods.
This study compares electrical efficiency, well intervention costs,
production optimization, adaptability to changing well conditions, ability
to operate in harsh well conditions, and overall environmental impact
between various artificial lift methods.
Included are actual operating parameters and runtime comparisons. The
conclusions will aid in the selection of present and future artificial lift
system requirements.

(13) HYBRID CASING PLUNGER REMOVES FLUID FROM GAS

WELLS PRODUCING FROM MULTPLE PRODUCTION ZONES
Robert L. Moore, PAAL, LLC
Windel Mayfield, Lone Star Rubber

Recent innovations and repeated successful applications using the multiple

patented PAL PLUNGER casing plungers suggested extending the
applications to stripper gas wells that produce from multiple production
zones and/or from wells with casing having obstructions that restrict
 proper placement of down hole landing stops. The new HYBRID
CASING PLUNGER, successfully installed and retrieved using a standard
swab rig, removes well bore fluids from multiple production zones. The
standard PAL PLUNGER was coupled with a unique down hole
compression packer and fluid isolation assembly to permit well bore fluids
to be lifted by gas flow to above the packer and subsequently removed
from the well bore on the next plunger cycle. Bottom hole pressure data
obtained shows the hydrostatic gradient to be that of the “dry” gas section
of the well bore above the standing fluid level. Production data shows an
increase in fluid removal and daily production rates.

(14) POLYMER GEL USED TO REDUCE PRODUCED WATER

Arturo Pena and Aaron Fuhr, ConocoPhillips
Dan Pender, Gel-Tec

The use of a polymer gel to reduce large volumes of water production in

an aquifer-supported oil reservoir will be presented. Water invasion from
the underlying aquifer had begun to water out the completion and repeated
plug backs and cement squeeze attempts failed to block the water
movement into the wellbore. A vertical permeability channel to the upper
perforations in the near wellbore region was suspected to be the cause. A
polymer gel treatment through the bottom perforations was selected to
shut-off or divert the water. The gel (developed by Marathon Oil Co.)
reduces the permeability thus creating a “blockage” in the formation
channel. The job was successfully performed, and resulted in an 87%
decrease in water production with no impact to oil production.

(15) PUMP INTAKE PRESSURE: COMPARISON OF VALUES

COMPUTED FROM ACOUSTIC FLUID LEVEL, PUMP
DYNAMOMETER AND VALVE CHECK MEASUREMENTS
A.L. Podio, University of Texas
James N. McCoy and O. Lynn Rowlan, Echometer Company

The three Pump Intake Pressure (PIP) calculation methods available for
sucker rod lifted wells are discussed in detail. Values of PIP obtained
from Acoustic Fluid level measurements, in wells with moderate pump
submergence, yield PIP estimates that agree with those from pump fluid
load analysis. If PIPs determined from these methods do not agree, then
the operator using the discussed techniques can make corrections to
consider the unusual conditions affecting the fluid load. Field data for a
significant group of wells are used to compare the PIP results of the three
methods. The results show that the PIP computed using the maximum and
minimum pump card loads usually calculates too low of a PIP, while the
PIP computed using the valve test loads are usually too high. Data
processing techniques for improving the quality of the results from
 dynamometer data are presented. The pros and cons of using each method
are discussed.

(16) REFERENCE LOAD LINES AID IN ANALYSIS OF THE

DOWNHOLE DYNAMOMETER PUMP CARD
O. Lynn Rowlan, James N. McCoy, Echometer Company
A.L. Podio, University of Texas

The pump card has three load reference lines 1) Zero Load line, 2) Fluid
Load, Fo, from Fluid Level, calculated using the pump intake pressure
determined from an acoustic Fluid Level measurement, and 3) Maximum
Fluid Load, Fo max, line calculated by setting the pump intake pressure to
Zero. Location of the wave equation calculated pump card loads with
respect to three pump card reference loads can be used to recognize certain
downhole problems. The position of a pump card relative to these load
reference lines can be used to determine if there is 1) a shallow rod part, 2)
a deep rod part or TV is stuck open, 3) Tubing is dry of well fluids, 4) the
SV is stuck open or 5) the SV is stuck closed with no fluid is entering the
pump. A normal pump card plots near the zero load line on the down
stroke and plots near the Fo from Fluid Level load line on the upstroke.

(17) SAND PRO CONGER FMT PRESENTATION

Rodney Sands, Harbison-Fischer
Pete Castro, Chevron

After many years of producing a lower zone in the Conger FMT Chevron
recompleted existing wells in an upper zone. The lower zone was closed
off with a cast iron bridge plug. Severe problems with sand production
were encountered and various methods were used to produce the well and
deal with the sand.

This paper will review the problems and solutions encountered when these
changes were made. It will also review the different pump designs that
were used and which were successful.

(18) A COMPARISON OF THE PERFORMANCE OF LINEAR

ACTUATOR VERSUS WALKING BEAM ROD PUMPING
Chris Schmidt and Ron Peterson, UNICO, Inc.

Rod pumping units historically used a crank driven walking beam to

provide a reciprocating motion for oil and gas production. Several
geometries have evolved over the years to produce desirable polished rod
motion profiles and gearbox torque loads. These mechanical systems are
limited in their ability to manipulate the motion profile and the profile is
forever fixed by the selected geometry.
 Hydraulic cylinder linear actuators became available a number of years
ago for reciprocating rod pumping of oil and gas wells. Electrically driven
rack and pinion linear actuators have also been recently developed for rod
pumping applications. These hydraulic and electric linear pumping units
share some common advantages over mechanical pumping units.

Linear pumping units are generally less massive than comparable walking
beam units and can be mounted directly to the well head. The cost savings
on site preparation, transportation logistics, and equipment installation can
be substantial. Linear actuators also have an important advantage in their
ability to provide programmable control of polished rod motion profile
and closed loop control of polished rod load. The relatively low mass of
linear actuator mechanisms allows nearly instantaneous adjustment of
polished rod velocity and load.

Linear pumping units provide independent control of up stroke and down

stroke peak velocities as well as the shape of the velocity profile.
Controlling the velocity profile allows increased pump cycle rate and
associated production without exceeding rod fall velocity limits. Velocity
profile control can also be used to reduce gas interference and fluid pound.
Rod stroke position can be controlled to provide period pump tapping to
overcome down-hole pump problems. Polished rod load control can be
used limit minimum rod load, eliminate bridle separation, and damp rod
load oscillation.

(19) COMPREHENSIVE STUDIES ON THE FACTORS AFFECTING

SUCKER-ROD COUPLING MAKE UP
Erik Tietz and Arun Sriraman, UPCO, Inc.

Beam pumping systems are operated in challenging and hostile

environments due to the ever increasing demand to produce oil. Marketing
research revealed the fact that 70% of failures in this industry were rod pin
failures.

An in-house research & development project/experiment was conducted to

address some of the critical factors governing rod pin failures. The
experiment uses core engineering concepts of stress, strain, torque and
circumferential displacement and explicitly answers the following
questions.

a. How does the current displacement values affect rod-coupling make

up and are they accurate?
b. What is the best type of lubrication technique (dry or wet face make
up) for the application of rod-coupling make up and why?
c. What is the life of a sucker rod or what is the optimal number of make
ups on a sucker rod?
(20) A NEW APPROACH TO DESCRIBE THE GAS THROUGHPUT
CAPACITY OF GAS LIFT VALVES
Zoltan Turzo, University of Miskolc, Hungary
Gabor Takacs, The Petroleum Institute, Abu Dhabi

Gas passage performance of gas lift valves under dynamic conditions

has only been studied in the last twenty years. Proper assessment of
gas injection rates at valve operating conditions requires the use of
sophisticated measuring and control equipment only a few companies
possess; and involves tedious and time-consuming data acquisition
procedures. As a result, many gas lift installations are designed even
today without properly accounting for the dynamic behavior of
operating gas lift valves.

The authors applied a novel approach to the description of gas lift

valve performance and used Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)
techniques to determine the valve’s gas passage characteristics. CFD
calculations provide a numerical solution of the governing equations
(like the conservation of mass, energy, etc.) that can be written for a
flowing fluid. To facilitate the simultaneous solution of the governing
equations the flow space (the inside of the valve available for gas flow)
must be divided into sufficiently small final volumes i.e. cells. Since
the accuracy of flow modeling greatly depends on the proper setup of
these cells the paper fully describes their proper spatial distribution.

After the cell structure of the gas lift valve was properly set up, CFD
calculations allowed the calculation of the gas volume passed by the
valve for different combinations of valve stem travels, injection, and
production pressures; i.e. for static conditions. In dynamic conditions,
however, valve stem travel is a function of the net opening force
developing on the tip of the valve stem. Since this force can be found
by integrating the pressure distribution on the valve stem tip, an
iterative procedure was developed to describe the valve behavior. The
final result of the proposed iterative calculation model is the dynamic
performance curve of the gas lift valve i.e. the injected gas rate vs.
injection, production, and dome charge pressures. The procedure
developed by the authors gives gas injections rates very close to those
received from the universally-applied RP 11V2 model.

(21) FIVE YEARS OF PCP PRODUCITON WITH HOLLOW SUCKER

RODS IN SOUTH ARGENTINA
Francisco Diaz Telli, Daniel Muse and Fernando Godoy
Tenaris Sucker Rods

Conventional Sucker Rods were designed and thought for Beam

Pumping applications as well as their make-up process (with
 circumferential displacement). This brought many failures in the
connection which is supposed to be stronger than the rod body.

A line of Hollow Sucker Rods (HSR) was developed with better

material distribution and several advantages but basically
providing more reliability due to the fact that they were thought
from the development for PCP. They include a special
connection with a SEC type of threads and torque shoulder
which is made-up controlling torque with a regular pipe power
tong.

This paper shows the experience in a field located in south

Argentina were HSR have been working for more than 5 years
in 17 wells. Field results and failures are discussed as well as
special issues to have in mind when producing with this
alternative.

(22) NEW HIGH LOADS SUCKER RODS FIELD EXPERIENCE

Francisco Diaz Telli, Daniel Muse, Ezequiel Fernandez and
Matias Pereyra, Tenaris Sucker Rods
Rita Toscano, Simyteck

Sucker rods connection-related failures represent today one of

the main limitations of beam pumping applications. More
demanding field operative conditions are pushing connections
to their limits, which become thus the weakest link of the
system.

API Sucker Rods Specifications (11B) haven’t changed much

since the 70’s. The fact that stress distribution is poor in current
connection together with their tendency to get loose due to the
lack of thread interference, are the main causes of stress
concentration points which finally lead to failures.

After several attempts to come out with a solution to address

this problem, a new premium connection was developed. Lab
and field tests have shown it is capable of working way over the
sucker rod body capacity.

Through this revolutionary change we’ve been able to expand

the current beam pumping application limits. This paper will
show field experience of sucker rods working under very high
loads.

(23) PRESSURE ACTUATED CHAMBER TECHNOLOGY (PACT)

A NEW ARTIFICIAL LIFT SYSTEM FOR CBM WELLS

Ryan Davis, Merrion Oil & Gas
Mark Turland, ProActive Pumping Solutions, Inc.
Jim Wetzel, Nojak Pumping Solutions

New artificial lift technology, Pressure Actuated Chamber Technology,

PACT, is proving to be a perfect choice for San Juan Basin producers
searching for a more efficient and effective artificial lift method to
produce CBM and other shallow, low volume gas wells. PACT has
shown remarkable success in replacing both sucker rod pumping systems
and swabbing as a gas well deliquification method.

The PACT system has no moving parts at the surface, a very small
footprint, uses virtually no energy and doesn’t require a pulling unit to
install or service.

PACT systems operate by applying regulated and timed gas pressure to a

series of downhole fluid chambers connected with 1.5” poly tubing in a
closed loop system. Gas pressure is applied and exhausted to alternating
fluid chambers and wellbore liquid is lifted, chamber by chamber, to the
surface. The gas used to lift fluid is taken from the high pressure discharge
side of the compressor. The gas that is exhausted from the system goes
back into the low pressure suction side of the compressor.

This paper will explain how the PACT system operates and examine
operational data on several wells before and after their conversion to the
PACT system.

(24) ATTAINING SIGNIFICANT VALUE WITH SOLID

EXPANDABLE TUBULAR TECHNOLOGY
Jasen Gast, Enventure Global Technology, L.L.C.

With over 1,000 installations, solid expandable tubulars have established a

legacy as an enabling technology that mitigates a variety of unfavorable
wellbore conditions without sacrificing hole size. In addition to the
technical solutions, operators have realized significant savings by being
able to conserve on pipe needs, consumable use, and environmental
disturbance. Incorporating these systems into the initial wellbore plan
reduced overall costs of some wells by up to 30%. Projects previously
deemed cost prohibitive gained economic feasibility.
This paper describes the operational process of how solid expandable
tubulars have been used in varied environments and conditions to solve a
broad range of downhole problems. Actual case histories are used to
illustrate how this technology was advantageous to projects, be it
economic, technical, or environmental. This paper explains the planning
and implementation process to ensure that maximum value of the solid
expandable system is attained.

(26) CO2 COCKTAIL TECHNOLOGY

Sayavur Bakhtiyarov, New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology

A new promising CO2 cocktail enhanced oil recovery technology has

developed. The technology involves in-situ generation of carbon dioxide
to recover trapped residual oil from reservoirs. This technology has two at
least unique features that set it apart from existing technologies. First, CO2
is injected as part of a dense liquid phase (not simply compressed CO2).
Because the injected fluid is a dense liquid at ambient conditions, there is
no need for the expensive compression costs that are associated with
convention CO2 injection processes. The gravity head associated with the
fluid column allows CO2 to be injected in a more cost-effective manner.
This proprietary technology allows CO2 to be released in-situ after
injection into the reservoir. A second unique feature of this new
technology is that a proprietary surfactant formulation forms foam when
the CO2 is generated in situ. The slim tube and core experimental results
demonstrated advantages of the new technology. GTT, Inc. is leading
commercialization of this technology in North America.

(27) BULLHEAD TREATMENTS FOR WATER REDUCTION IN GAS

WELLS
Larry Eoff, Mauricio Gutierrez and Carlos Saravia
Halliburton Energy Services

Water production in gas wells can be a huge problem, in many cases

causing premature well abandonment. Numerous techniques are used in
attempts to allow continued production, including the use of foams and
plunger systems. However, these techniques require continuous injection
of chemicals and/or maintenance of equipment. Stopping, or slowing
down, the water is another approach to the problem. This paper will
discuss a bullhead polymer system which reduces the permeability to
water much more than to gas. The system does not require zonal isolation
 of the water producing zone, making for much simpler job design and
execution than standard crosslinked gel treatments. The paper will discuss
the polymer chemistry, laboratory test data, details on job design and
execution, as well as case histories.

(28) CARBONATE OH ACIDIZING - TECHNIQUES THAT HAVE

WORKED UTILIZING COILED TUBING
Jeffery G. Harris, BJ Services

This paper will address how coiled tubing, combined with advanced
acidizing technologies, can improve the ability to optimize treatment
coverage in openhole completions. Two methods that have been very
successful in the Permian and Anadarko Basins are foam and self-
diverting acid systems.

When acid is pumped into an openhole completion, it is difficult to

determine precisely where the acid is going. It is vitally important to
ensure that the entire interval is being treated adequately to optimize
production. Coiled tubing and advanced acidizing technologies have
shown tremendous promise with these stimulation techniques. This paper
will also discuss the many techniques that have been attempted throughout
the years with mixed results.

(29) ACETIC ACID SUCCESSFULLY STIMULATES SAN ANDRES

Steve Metcalf, BJ Services

Carbonate formations are predominate in the Permian Basin and as such

are commonly stimulated with acids. Success of an acid treatment is
dependent on knowledge of the reservoir, design techniques and
execution; and emphasis on obtaining good zone coverage. In addition,
effectiveness is very dependent on how many times a well has been
acidized and with what kind of acid.

Case histories of acid stimulation, with production results, are presented

on a new technique for stimulating the San Andres dolomite. Treatments
were all low rate matrix treatments designed to minimize the increase in
water production. Discussed are conditions to overcome in order to get
effective acid penetration and thus stimulation. The case histories
presented are on San Andres wells that have been acidized several times in
the past, but where this new technique has provided an improved response
over a longer period of time following the treatment.

(30) REMEDIATION OF PROPPANT AND FORMATION SAND

FLOWBACK IN HIGH TEMPERATURE WELLS- A FIELD
STUDY IN SOUTH TEXAS, USA
 Marc Durkee, ConocoPhillips
Zeke T. Peak, Matthew B. Montes and Phillip D. Nguyen, Halliburton

Flowback of proppant and formation sand often become nuisance for

operators as these solids cause equipment damage, costly cleanup
treatments, and potential loss of production. These flowback problems are
often compounded in severity in wells with high temperature and high
pressure. Operators seek reliable solutions to (1) eliminate the need for
frequent remedial cleanouts and surface equipment replacement, and (2) to
maximize revenues by increasing and maintaining production rates.

This paper presents a field case-study that discusses the remedial

treatments and lessons learned in more than 20 wells in south Texas that
the operator has encountered with proppant and formation sand flowback
problems. It also discusses the development and treatment processes using
low viscosity consolidating agents to be applied in the treatments.
Examples show how these problems were successfully overcome in these
high temperature wells. Field cases histories are presented with detailed
descriptions of the treatments, challenges, and recommendations during
the course of the treatments.

Field results indicate that over 90% of these consolidation treatments have
effectively stopped the flowback of proppant and formation sand while
allowing the production rates of the wells to be increased. These
treatments have drastically decreased the number of workovers as
compared to the period before their treatments, or compared to the offset
wells in the same field that consolidation treatments were not performed.
This study has demonstrated that an effective coating of a curable resin on
the proppant and formation sand close to the wellbore is necessary to help
maximize the consolidation bonding between grains within the pack while
minimizing any reduction of its permeability. Additives included in the
liquid resin system permit good consolidation properties in the proppant
pack, allowing it to effectively handle the shear forces of high production
rates and the effect of stress cycling as the well undergoes producing and
being shut in.

This new remedial treatment process greatly enhances the effectiveness of

fluid placement into the propped fractures, regardless of the number of
perforation intervals and their lengths, without mechanical isolation
between the intervals. The simplicity of treatment helps make remediation
economically feasible, especially in wells with marginal reserves.

(31) EFFECTIVE USED TUBING STRING PROFILE WELLCHEK

DATA BASE WITH WEB ACCESS
Hilton Prejean and Brian Sutton, NOV Tuboscope
 WellChek Database has been developed to provide a well specific, tubing
string profile from an on-site used tubing inspection unit. Tubing is
classified as it is pulled from the well, providing sequential information on
a per joint basis within the string. Before being returned to production a
detailed report of the tubing string is provided online, which can be
viewed together with previous inspection results, containing critical
information to the well management program. Routine well maintenance
provides the opportunity for inspection data to be easily obtained. Field
engineers find it beneficial to track wear and corrosion patterns,
propensity, failure causes and success of mitigation techniques. Tubing
issues make up a high proportion of production costs - rig time, lost
production, tubular replacement and transportation. Working together with
production engineering groups to analyze this data has yielded information
to assist in making practical tubing management policies to reduce these costs.

(32) LIGHT WEIGHT CEMENTING WITH TUNED LIGHT

Robert Reyes, John Brown and Gerry Torres, Halliburton
Lito Perin and Jamie Lopez, Pioneer Natural Resources

As the gap between supply and demand continues to increase for oil and
gas, operators are challenged to develop wells in various economic
environments. Because of the cyclical nature of the commodity market
and the constant change in commodity prices, operators reduce the overall
cost while pursuing more and more challenging wells. One such
environment is the “Wolfberry” play in West Texas. Because of the rapid
early production decline in these wells they must be drilled and completed
as efficiently and cost effectively as possible. This includes drilling to
total depth quickly, running affordable casing and successfully achieving
zonal isolation in a severely under-pressured environment. Single stage
production cementing is a must to maintain the economic viability of these
wells. In order to maintain long term stability of the well-bore, cement
must be brought above the top of the Spraberry formation (7000’ to 7500’)
from TD (9500’-10,500’) without fracturing the well. The Spraberry
formation typically has a fracture gradient on the order of 0.43 – 0.53
psi/ft. If cement top is too low, remedial cement job(s) must be performed
to isolate the productive zones from a potential up-hole corrosive water
zone while still having adequate strength to allow us to fracture stimulate
the Spraberry zone. Remedial cementing has a severe adverse effect on the
economics of a well as well as compromising the well-bore because of the
squeeze perfs.

Engineered solutions and application of new technology has addressed

several of these issues and allowed drilling in areas of the basin that were
previously thought to have marginal economics. We will look at several
wells in this operator’s area of interest where cementing technology was
used to achieve success in a challenging area. This included application of
 a new low density cement achieve zonal isolation while still having
enough strength to allow high pressure stimulation work to follow.

(33) CORROSION TREATING CONCERNS IN POST-FRAC

WOLFBERRY COMPLETIONS
Richard Martin and Tony Smith
BJ Chemical Services

In the last several years, the WolfBerry play has received significant
attention from both operators and service companies. While these multi-
completion wells in the Wolfcamp formation (typically 3 zones) and
Spraberry-Dean formations (typically 2-4 zones) have produced some very
viable wells, they also have presented many operational challenges. One
of these challenges has been reducing corrosion related failures during the
early production stages of the well. After the well is put on pump, it is not
unusual for the well to flow continuously, flow intermittently, or maintain
high fluid levels. Any of these well conditions can adversely affect the
application of corrosion inhibitors. The economic impact of corrosion
related failures can be quite substantial due to the cost of pulling jobs,
equipment replacement, and lost production due to downtime. This paper
will examine the various causes of corrosion in the WolfBerry and review
several corrosion treating options and case studies.

(34) AN OFTEN OVERLOOKED DETAIL IN WELL

TREATMENT DESIGN
Stan Stephenson, Larry Mitschke and Joe Beisel
Halliburton Energy Services

When fracture stimulating a well, maximum wellhead pressure can be

reached seconds after the high-pressure pumps are stopped following a
rapid pressure increase during a “screenout” or other sudden flow
stoppage. This maximum pressure is caused by a water-hammer effect.
When this effect is ignored, maximum allowable wellhead and downhole
pressures can be exceeded, even if pumping stops before reaching the
maximum allowable pressure. This paper provides a method to calculate
the water-hammer pressure. Data from several case study wells
demonstrating the water hammer effect are compared to the calculated
values obtained from the methods described in this paper. For tight
formation screenouts, the predictions are within 12% of the maximum
pressure recorded. Methods to help minimize the pressure surge are also
presented. Use of these methods can minimize the risk to people, the
environment, and equipment caused by the potential water-hammer
pressure surge often overlooked in well treatment designs.

(35) EFFECT OF ACID TUNNELING STIMULATION IN OKLAHOMA

LIMESTONE USING COILED TUBING
Lance Ruffel, Lance Ruffel O&G
 Joseph Strasburg and Jeff Clark, BJ Services Co.

Options for improving productivity in older wells are re-stimulating the

well or adding laterals extending past the original wellbore. A new
technique achieves both in limestone formations. This technique creates
pre-stimulated "tunnels" that bypass near-wellbore damage to make
contact with newly exposed reservoir rock.

This technology relies on hydrochloric acid’s ability to dissolve limestone

along with a coiled tubing bottomhole assembly made to kick over toward
the formation. A nozzle then jets acid at the formation creating tunnels
extending from the wellbore. The technique works in all open-hole wells
drilled in limestone and can be used to make multiple laterals in new or
old wells.

This procedure was recently used in the United States for the first
time. Three tunnels were created in an Oklahoma stripper well. This
paper describes the tool and design including an operational timeline;
lessons learned during the Oklahoma operation, pre- and post-job
production information, and a cost/benefit analysis for the treatment.

(36) THE GEARED CENTRIFUGAL PUMP – A NEW HIGH VOLUME

LIFT SYSTEM
John C. Patterson, ConocoPhillips Co.
William B. Morrow, Harrier Technologies, Inc
Michael R. Berry, Mike Berry Consulting LLC

The Geared Centrifugal Pump (GCP) is a high volume artificial lift system
consisting of a progressive cavity pump style rotating rod string driving a
bottom intake ESP style multi-stage centrifugal pump via a downhole
speed increasing transmission. The heart of the system is the unique
transmission that utilizes a novel gearing configuration that allows high
torque and power. The GCP provides the high volume lift of an ESP but
with better gas handling, simpler operation, and lower capital and
operating costs. Additionally, since all downhole components are
mechanical the GCP can operate effectively at very high temperatures.
