Hydraulic Subsurface Pumping Systems: Pump Performance
e-Learning
About the eLearning Course
In Pump Performance, you will learn to calculate pump and engine efficiency and learn various pump monitoring techniques, including: last stroke pressure to indicate fluid level and pump condition; metering production; and pressure checks for casing and standing valve leaks.
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
Participants will learn how to:
- Calculate volumetric efficiency for a subsurface pump.
- Calculate engine end efficiency.
- Describe the factors that affect pump speed.
- Calculate working fluid level.
- Use a chart to read and interpret working fluid level.
- Calculate fluid level with pump and engine pistons that have different diameters.
- Describe the impact of a worn pump on last stroke pressure.
- Describe how fluid level impacts pumping speed.
- Describe how pressure bombs record downhole pressure conditions.
