Hydraulic Subsurface Pumping Systems: Downhole Pumps and Engines
e-Learning
About the eLearning Course
This course will teach the basic hydraulic principles of power transmission and how they are used in the operation of downhole pumps. You will learn about the three basic hydraulic engines and pumps and how they can be combined for the most effective operation, and how power fluid application is controlled and transmitted by pump valves.
Target Audience
Operations personnel who require a fundamental understanding of knowledge to operate and maintain facilities. Also suitable for maintenance and technician personnel whether new to their roles or seasoned experts looking to enhance their skills.You Will Learn
