1.1 PROGRESSIVE CAVITY PUMP HISTORY The PC pump has a long history. It was invented and designed in the late 1920's by the Frenchman Rene Moineau. Moineau set out to design a rotary compressor and in the process created a new rotary mechanism to be used for the utilization of variations in the pressure of a fluid, which he referred to as "capsulism". His goal was to make it possible to use this capsulism in pumps, compressors, or motors. The Moineau principle has been utilized in many industries in a wide variety of applications since its licensing. It has been used as a pump in just about every industry: chemical, coal, food, metalworking, mining, paper, petroleum, textile, tobacco, and water and wastewater treatment. In the petroleum industry, the PC pump has been utilized as a surface transfer pump for over 56 years. In the mid - 1950's, the progressing cavity pump principle was applied to hydraulic motor applications by reversing the function of the progressing cavity pump. The device was then being moved by fluid instead of pumping fluid. With the pump elements being driven by drilling mud or other fluids, it became the prime mover for drill motors. The Moineau principle is now being widely used in the petroleum drilling industry. Then in the early 1980'5, the PC pump was utilized as an artificial lift method in the petroleum industry. And very soon in became know as an alternative pump to conventional lift methods and to establish a new marketplace for the PC pump. The pump is applied to artificial lift by attaching the pump elements to the tubing and rod string. The stator is run on the end of the tubing, and the rotor is attached to the bottom of the rod string and landed in the stator. The rods and rotor are rotated through a wellhead drive assembly that is designed to carry the weight of the rod and the fluid column. Currently, the PC pump is being widely used for lifting fluids from depths of 2000m, and deeper in oil and gas wells. The progressing cavity pump offers to the petroleum industry a great number of advantages over traditional lift equipment, of which the most important is lowering the cost per barrel lifted.

1.2 PROGRESSIVE CAVITY PUMP DESIGN The Progressing Cavity Pump design consists of a single external threaded helical gear (rotor) that rotates eccentrically inside a double internal threaded helical gear (stator) of the same minor diameter and twice the pitch length.

ROTOR

STATOR The capacity of the pump is determined by the size of the cavity formed when the rotor is placed in the stator.

The rotor and stator form a series of sealed cavities, 180 degrees apart, that progress from the suction to the discharge end of the pump as the single external threaded helical rotor rotates. As one cavity diminishes, the opposing cavity increases at the same rate, which keeps the fluid moving at a fixed flow rate that is directly proportional to the rotational speed, resulting in a pulsationless positive displacement flow. The total cross-sectional area of the cavities remains the same regardless of the position of the rotor in the stator.

End views of Rotor turning in Stator as the Rotor completes one revolution

The displacement of the PC pump in addition to being a function of the speed, is directly proportional to three design constants: 1. 2. 3. The cross-sectional diameter of the rotor; Its eccentricity (or radius of the helix); The stator pitch.

Where: RCSCL Rotor cross section centerline RCL Rotor centerline SCL Stator centerline RD Rotor diameter RE Rotor eccentricity CSCL Cross section centerline The pressure capability in a progressing cavity pump is a function of the number of times the seal lines that are formed by the rotor and stator are repeated or the number of stages within the pump. Normally, a stage is designed to be 1.5 times the pitch length of the stator or 3 pitch length of the rotor. PS Stator Pitch PR Rotor Pitch

This insures a proper seal between the rotor and stator. The more seal lines or stages a pump has, the more the pressure capabilities increase, allowing a pump to perform at a greater depth in a well. Pump pressure rating is 100psi/stage. As the pressure increases for a given number of stages and speed, the flow rate will decrease. This reduction in flow rate caused by the higher pressure is called "slip".

All progressing cavity pumps experience slippage between the suction and discharge ends. The amount of slip is determined by the pressure and is independent of speed. Three factors that will affect the amount of slip within a PC pump due to pressure are: the number of seal lines or stages, the viscosity of the fluid being pumped, and the compression fit between the rotor and stator.

2.1 MATERIALS OF CONSTRUCTION The development of materials of construction for the progressing cavity pump is an ongoing effort by the Protex. The stator consists of a steel tube with an elastomer that is permanently bonded to the inside and molded in the configuration of a double helix. The external single helical rotor is normally alloy steel, machined to an exact tolerance, and then chrome plated. Great care and quality control during manufacturing of the rotor and stator insure that the user will receive the best performance possible from the PC pump. Pump test performance is a very good indicator of quality. As the progressing cavity pump becomes more widely accepted, the need for improvements in elastomer developments of the stator will increase in order to apply the pump to a greater range of producing wells. Currently, Protex provides four elastomer compounds on the market for use with the downhole progressing cavity pump, all of which are compounds formulated from nitrile rubber, also referred to as Buna N. Its co-polymers are acrylonitrile and butadiene. The acrylonitrile content ranges form 20% to 50%. As the acrylonitrile content is increased, the oil and solvent resistance improves, its tensile strength increases, hardness increased, the abrasion resistance increases, the high temperature resistance improves, and its resilience and permeability qualities decrease. Acrylonitrile content is usually the first consideration when designing a nitrile compound. The four variations of the compound are:

PX20 PX40 PX80/85

Medium-High Acrylonitrile. Ultra-High Acrylonitrile. Hydrogenated, Highly Saturated Nitrile (HSN) - Very High Acrylonitrile.

2.2 ELASTOMER CHARACTERISTICS PX20 - MEDIUM-HIGH ACRYLONITRILE (ACN) NITRILES The medium-high acrylonitrile elastomer has good oil and solvent resistance. This elastomer can be applied in oil of less than 28 API, and in application of high water cuts or 100% water. It has excellent abrasion and mechanical properties. The temperature limitation of this type of elastomer is 121 degrees C. This elastomer is best suited for wells with high CO2. PX40 - ULTRA-HIGH ACRYLONITRILE (ACN) NITRILES The ultra-high acrylonitrile elastomer has very good oil and solvent resistance. The higher ACN content gives this elastomer increased aromatic swell resistance. This elastomer can be applied in oil of 28 API to 43 API gravities. In oils of this type, a fluid sample should be tested to check the degree of aromatic swell. This elastomer also has good resistance to swell from treating chemicals; however, all chemicals should be tested with the elastomer prior to applying the products. The mechanical properties and abrasion resistance is good. The temperature range of this elastomer is 121 degrees C. PX80/85 - HIGHLY SATURATED NITRILE (HSN) VERY-HIGH ACRYLONITRILE This elastomer resistance to aromatic swell is lower than that of the ultra-high (ACN) nitriles. The mechanical properties and abrasion resistance are very good. The temperature range is the highest of the three elastomers at 177 degrees C. This elastomer has fair resistance to hydrogen sulphide and good resistance to iron sulphide. Again, the well conditions should be examined closely before applying the product.

3.1 EQUIPMENT SELECTION CONSIDERATIONS Performance and applications parameters the PCP system is designed to work under are dependent on: Production requirements Location of perforations Well bore fluids Pumping fluid level Pump intake and discharge pressures Casing and Tubing specifications Sucker Rod or Drive String specifications Well bore deviations Drive String / Tubing contact points Rotor / Stator internal friction Fluid movement friction loss Flow line pressures Well bore contaminants Load to be carried by Well Head Drive

Computer aided software tools are available to determine the correct pump size, rod and tubing size, wellhead drive system, horsepower and torque requirements. Note: A System Design Form should be completed for each well so the applications engineer can make full use of the software tools and along with experience, can select the best-suited components and accessories for each application.

4.1 WELL PREPARATION Well bore clean up should be performed before installation of the Stator. The removal of debris and sand build up from the bottom of the well should go as deep as possible below the perforations and at least two to three meters below the projected landing depth of the pump. The pump suction should be landed in or below the perforations wherever possible or practical. Contact your Protex representative for pump landing recommendations for wells that produce sand, high GORs or wells with special completion requirements. 4.2 STATOR INSTALLATION THE STATOR IS RUN INTO THE WELL ON THE END OF THE TUBING STRING. 1) The tubing string selected should: Be large enough to handle the expected flow rate. (reduces pressure losses) Prevent tensile failures. Prevent failures due to internal / external pressures. Prevent failure due to corrosion.

2)

Always install the Stator with the Tag bar (Stop Pin) or Inlet Sub on the bottom. Model 95 pumps (Imperial Model 600) have a special Orbit Tube welded onto the top of the stator to accommodate the orbiting motion of the rotor. Do not confuse this Orbit tube with the Tag Bar.

3)

If required, make up No-Turn tool on bottom of inlet sub and tighten. Tighten the inlet sub to the stator and the tubing to stator connection. Do not swage down at the pump discharge, Swage to smaller tubing. Size at least one (1) full joint above the stator. For Stators of such length that the above is not possible install the longest possible pup joint on top of stator before swaging down (1.8m minimum preferred).

4)

Tighten all connections, Refer to table for Recommended Tubing Make Up Torque. Run the stator to the required depth and land the tubing in the tubing head as per wellhead manufacturers recommended procedure.

NOTE: Refer to Clause 7.1 for recommended make-up torque for tubing.

4.3 ROTOR INSTALLATION

THE ROTOR IS RUN INTO THE WELL ON THE END OF THE SUCKER ROD STRING.
WARNING: Additional couplings at the stator discharge may restrict the fluid flow; as well the orbiting motion of the rotor can cause increased tubing wear. Therefore whenever possible connect the first sucker rod directly to the rotor or use a pony rod as long as possible. 1) Inspect the rods and couplings for wear and defects before installation. 2) Tighten the rotor to sucker rod connection. Proper make up of connections is crucial while running in well.

Before entering the stator - Record the Rod String Weight. Insert the rotor into the stator; the rod string may rotate to the right.

3)

Put all the rod weight onto the tag bar. Make a mark on the sucker rod at the flow tee = Zero Rod Weight. Re-check the rotor landing a couple of times to make sure the ZERO ROD WEIGHT mark on the sucker rod is even with the flow tee.

4)

Pick the rod string up off the tag bar until ROD STRING WEIGHT is achieved. This pulls tension in the rod string. Make another mark on the sucker rod at the flow tee = Rod String Weight.

5)

Refer to table - Polished Rod Pullback From the table, pick the rod size and the appropriate pump model, go down the Column to lift rating of the pump. This is the additional Inches of Pullback. This aligns the rotor within the stator. Pick up the rod string the required distance. (Inches of Pullback) Make a mark on the sucker rod at the flow tee = Operating Point.

6)

Add the length of the Wellhead Drive Assembly to the OPERATING POINT. This becomes the Clamping Point. Allow an additional 2 to 12 for Polished Rod Stick Up above the CLAMPING POINT.

7)

Pull that sucker rod, plus one more from the well, and lay them down. From the CLAMPING POINT, measure the distance DOWN to the pin on the rod. Take that distance PLUS 25 FT. (length of additional sucker rod pulled out), PLUS 6 to 12 for Polished Rod Stick Up = Make up Distance. SUBTRACT Polished rod length from MAKE UP DISTANCE rods required. = Feet of Additional pony

8)

Make up additional Pony Rods and Polished Rod onto Rod String. Run into well until clamping point is positioned above the flow tee at the height of the wellhead drive when installed.

9)

Clamp Polished Rod securely at the Flow Tee and remove lifting pony from Polished rod. File any Burrs from Polished Rod and install Bull Nose.

6.1 IDENTIFICATION OF THE MOST COMMON STATOR FAILURES

Identification: Roughened, worn or scuffed surfaces usually on the minor diameter of the stator Cause: Due to normal wear and abrasion. Influenced by quantity and abrasiveness of fluid solids content, pump speed, elastomer type Remedy: Reduce particle velocity through the pump, running pump at lower speeds, and by adding more stages to the pump

Identification: Missing rubber primarily along the rotor/stator seal lines. Rubber is typically hard, shiny and irregular Cause: Pressure drop across pump has exceeded 100 psi per stage Remedy: Select a pump with a greater number of stages Ensure rotor is landed properly Frequent flush-bys to minimize plugged pump discharges (high solid content fluids) Ensure proper pump sizing

Identification: Signs of chemical attack or fluid incompatibility include elastomer swelling, softening, or blistering Results in a loss in pump efficiency, and an increase in the torque required to turn the pump Cause: Light end hydrocarbons and aromatics result in an increase in volume of the elastomer and softening of the surface Remedy: Proper elastomer selection Pump sizing practices

6.2 IDENTIFICATION OF THE MOST COMMON ROTOR FAILURES Identification: Extreme abrasive wear through the chrome plating and into the rotor base metal on the major diameter of the rotor Cause: Producing highly abrasive fluids Excessively tight rotor/stator interference fit Incorrect spacing, rotor /tubing contact Remedy: Complete through well bore cleanouts Ensure correct interference fit for the application Insure proper rotor spacing procedure

Identification: Chrome has cracks on the surface Cause: Restricted intake Pump is oversized High temperature Remedy: Complete well cleanout procedure Reduce pump speed or use smaller pump Ensure correct elastomer is used
