INTRODUCTION
This manual covers NETZSCH products concerning PC Pump Systems used in artificial lift
applications.
The current product line for artificial lift applications developed and manufactured by
NETZSCH comprises Progressing Cavity Pumps and Drive Heads, enabling to compound
basically two different types of Systems:

Conventional PCP System


NETZSCH Submersible PC Pump System - NSPCP

These PC Pump Systems completions are as shown in Fig. 1 and 2. Even though the
pumps are basically the same, the systems are distinguished of each other depending upon
the way the power is transmitted to the pump.
In a Conventional PC Pump System (Fig. 1), the power required to run the pump is transmitted to the rod string by the drive, located on surface. Typically, a conventional PC Pump
system configuration involves:

Drive Head and Prime Mover


Sucker Rod String
Downhole PC Pump
Accessories (Torque Anchor, Tubing Anchor, Rod Centralizers, BOP)

NETZSCH NSPCP Systems (Fig. 2) are a conception that eliminates the rod string as the
driving shaft to the pump. In this system the downhole PC Pump is directly driven by a submersible electric motor. A NSPCP System is generically compounded by:

Bottom Hole PC Pump


Gear Box
Motor Seal or Motor Protection (Equalizer)
Downhole Electric Motor

NSPCP Systems require the same surface installation used in conventional electric centrifugal submersible pumps (ESP) such as: transformers, variable frequency drives, junction
boxes, electric cables etc. The downhole motor is coupled to the pump by a gearbox and the
load generated by the pumping action is anchored by special thrust bearings.
Basically, NSPCP Systems applied replacing previous ESP installations. Once, they do not
require a rod string, NSPCP Systems are more suitable for horizontal or deviated wells.
NETZSCH NSPCP Systems are not covered in this Manual. For more technical details, additional information or questions concerning NSPCP Systems, contact one of our representatives.

Progressing Cavity Pumps


NETZSCH features the state-of-the-art singlelobe (Fig. 3) and multilobe (Fig. 4) geometry
PC Pumps, following the Moineau principle, i.e., based on the geometrical arrangement fit
between the only moving part (rotor) which rotates eccentrically into the stationary element
(stator).
In NETZSCH singlelobe geometry the rotor presents a circular cross section while in multilobe design the cross sectional area is elliptic.

Calculation of the Effective Loaded PCP Area


For calculating the effective loaded area of a progressing cavity pump are only two dimensions necessary. One is the major diameter of the rotor. The other one is the minor sucker
rod diameter. The effective area in mm can be calculated by:

NETZSCH Oilfield Products

NETZSCH PC Pumps are available in two different configurations:

Tubular Pumps (Fig. 5), or those ones attached directly to tubing string.

Insertable Pumps (Fig. 6), or the arrangement that make it possible to install and
retrieve the down hole PC Pump by the sucker rod string.

In both models, NETZSCH PC Pumps are suitable to handle a wide range of liquids efficiently, regardless their viscosity. The Table 1 outlines the pump capabilities while the Tables 2, 3 and 4 present all dimensions, interfaces and drift requirements of each pump available to date. Other pump specification than those ones listed shall be furnished on request.

Description: uniform wall, multilobe tubular pump, 3 1/2 thread, 150 kgf/cm (bar) max. pressure
differential, 40 m/day @ 100 rpm and zero pressure differential

Power Requirement
The overall power required to drive the pump (Pwr) is determined by the hydraulic power output (Pwh = pQth ) and also due to mechanical power (Pwm = Tn) necessary to overcome
friction (without having differential of pressure) of the rotor on stator:
Pwr = Pwh + Pwm
Therefore, the total required power to drive the pump shall be written as:
Pwr = pQth + Tn

Example: To determine the spacing of a NTZ 400*150DT50, to be set at 900 m depth, using
a 1 sucker rod string, and max. 100 bar expected differential of pressure across the pump.
The well profile is vertical and the static fluid level is about 400 m. The temperature of the oil
is 65C and the average air temperature inside the empty tube above the fluid level is 35C.
With k = 0.193 from table above, we get following results:

DRIVE HEADS
Generically, drive heads are required in conventional PC Pump Systems to transfer power
from prime mover to the pump, which is conveyed by the sucker rod string. In addition, the
Drive Head has to accomplish with other requirements and functions such as:

Provide sealing from the well fluid on tubing head and polished rod.
Support the weight of the rod string and the associated axial load determined by the
pumping action of a downhole PC Pump.
Provide the proper means to avoid backspin of the rod string.

NETZSCH standard drive heads shall be Vertical or Right Angle, with solid or hollow shaft.
All NETZSCH drive heads feature either a mechanical built-in backspin brake, to lock the rod
string from recoiling, or a hydraulic backspin controlling system, in this case to release the
recoil of the rod string, gradually. For complete technical details regarding NETZSCH drive
heads, refer to NETZSCH Drive Head Operating and Maintenance Instructions.
For how to install a drive head refer to section Installation Procedure - PC Pump and
Drive Head.

Vertical Drive Head


The NETZSCH Vertical Direct Drive is a cost effective and reliable way to transfer the power
to the sucker rod string. It compounds two types depending upon the way they are designed:
without any gear, or direct drive (DH/DS), and featuring built-in gear reducer (GH).
Vertical Drive Head Direct Drive (DH/DS)
Vertical DH/DS types drives (Figs. 11A to 11C) are normally selected where higher speeds
are expected for the application, according to the pump displacement available in the field.
Usually it can be applied to speeds from 110 rpm up to 450 rpm. The speeds are achieved
by changing the set of sheaves and/or by using variable frequency drive.
For complete matches of speeds & sheaves, concerning all DH/DS type drive heads, refer to

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE - PC PUMPS AND DRIVE HEADS


Introduction
As mentioned earlier, conventional PC Pump Systems comprise, from surface to bottom
hole, the following components:
Drive Head + Prime Mover
Rod String
Downhole PC Pump

This section covers basic principles concerning the installation of tubular and insertable PC
Pumps and Drive Heads. It also covers all necessary technical issues and recommended
practices regarding the installation procedures of both items in order to avoid that any undesirable variable or predictable fail mode should adversely interfere in the installation process
and also in the operation of the system.
An overall timely evaluation of the concerning parameters such as, the well productivity and
hydraulic outputs prior to proceeding the installation, is fundamental to determine the suitability of the system selected or available in location. The success of installation is then supported by the preliminary checks on the:
-

well capability (flow rate, productivity index, bottom hole conditions: sand content, aromatics, GOR, etc.).
tubing & casing drifts
pump specification.
spacing calculations (Tables 5 and 6)
drive head and prime mover.
sucker rods size.
power requirements and power supply.
correct power phase connection on electric motor to make sure that the pump is going
to run at correct direction.

PC Pump Installation Principles


As in any downhole installation for artificial lift, casing and tubing drifts (see annex) are mandatory to determine the limits a specific PC Pump can be set. Therefore, it is vital to refer to
the Figs. 7 to 9 and corresponding Tables 2 to 4, respectively, concerning to all dimensional
data of the current single and multilobe PC Pumps manufactured by NETZSCH.
It is fundamental to check the overall PC Pump dimensions, i.e., sizes of rotor and stator, to
assure which minimum casing and tubing drifts they will fit into.
Since the sizes are proper selected, basically the rotor spacing (Tables 5 & 6 and Fig. 10)
is the following and most important operational parameter to be considered.
The recommended spacing Y (Fig. 10), for all NETZSCH tubular PC Pumps, is determined
by using the Tables 5 and 6. Actually the spacing Y is the length of the rod string that must
be lifted up to ensure proper distance d of the rotor end to stop pin when the pump is running.
Page 29

6.Revision - June 2005

NETZSCH Oilfield Products

PCP System Manual

The distance d between rotor end and stop pin (Fig. 7), included in the spacing calculations, shall be defined as the safety minimum distance in which the rotor must be away
from the stop pin. The distance d is expected to happen when the system is running, enabling proper operation of the pump without the risk of the rotor to work in contact with the
stop pin.
Technically, the rotor end must be far enough from the stop pin to avoid metal-to-metal running that is one of the most common fail modes in PC Pumps. At the same time, the rotor
itself has to be as fully enclosed as possible into the stator to provide the maximum discharge pressure for which the pump was designed.
Elongation of the Rod String due to Pumping Action Calculations & Spacing
The sucker rod experiences elongation first due to its own weight (Wr) which amplitude depends on the depth or length of the string.
Following, when the pump is running, a downward axial load is generated on the rotor as
consequence of the pumping action, also stretching and lengthening the entire rod string column. Depending upon how far the rotor end is from the stop pin, the sucker rod diameter
and the differential of pressure across the pump, the pumping action can cause the rotor to
reach the pin.
The axial load (L), from reaction to pumping action, is determined by the area of the rotor
(ae), that effectively lift the fluid, and the actual required discharge pressure (Pd) delivered by
the pump in operation:
L = [ae * Pd ]
Then, the total axial load (Lt) on rod string, shall be written as:
Lt = L + Wr or Lt = [ae * Pd ] + Wr
However, considering that extension on rod string caused by the weight of rods (Wr) is already in place when the rod string is fully supported by the drive head, actually the lengthening on rods occurs when the pump is running due to pumping action only:
L = Lt = [ae * Pd ]
To determine the elongation on a rod string due to strengthening caused by the pumping action, the Hooks law shall be applied. Then:

or =

0
E

where represents the elongation of the original rod string length 0, under current operational conditions, E is the Youngs Modulus and is the tension originated by the axial load
(L), due to pumping action, on the cross section area of the rod string.

Page 30

6.Revision - June 2005

NETZSCH Oilfield Products

PCP System Manual

The elongation caused by the pumping action, as mentioned earlier, interferes in the distance between rotor end and stop pin. For this reason, when spacing a PC Pump an additional safety length d must be considered to allow the system to work properly. Therefore,
the total spacing Y shall be written as:
Y = + d
The above concept of elongation due to axial load is used by NETZSCH to establish the calculation for spacing presented on Tables 5 & 6, which considers the pumping action caused
by a specific NETZSCH PC Pump:
Y=

P 0 k
+d
1000

being P the actual differential of pressure across the pump, in kgf/cm or bar, 0 is the
original length of rod string (or the length of tubing string until the pump is set), in meter, k
identifies the spacing factor that includes the elongation due to the pumping action and d,
as mentioned earlier, is the desired target distance between the rotor end and the stop pin
while the system is in operation. The value of Y is obtained in cm.
NETZSCH has standardized the value of d depending upon the maximum pressure
capability for each pump:
For Pump Pressures 120 kgf/cm2

d = 30 cm

For Pump Pressures > 120 kgf/cm2

d = 50 cm

Elongation When Using Tubing Anchor Calculations & Spacing


Additional length (e), to the calculations taken from Tables 11 & 12, has to be added to the
recommended distance (Y) when performing spacing in completions where tubing anchor
are used. This procedure is necessary to avoid that the expected differential thermal expansion of the rod string, relatively to tubing column, causes the rotor to reach the pin. It may
happen because the sucker rod string may extend freely by the temperature while the tubing,
locked by the anchor, remains practically stationary.
Considering a linear thermal expansion of the rod string:
/ 0 = *

or

= 0 * *

where is the elongation caused on rods by the average temperature from bottom hole
to wellhead, and is the linear thermal expansion coefficient of the material of the rods. Certainly that fluid thermal gradient varies along the tubing string, consequently the overall thermal expansion of the rods shall be different from the calculus. However, the assumption of
average temperature as described has been proven to be fairly acceptable for practical purposes.
The value of (e) shall be written as:e = = 0 * *
Page 31

being expansion (e) on rods by temperature if the tubing string is anchored.


Therefore the total spacing (Y) when the tubing string is anchored, by tubing anchor, considers both effects: pumping action and thermal expansion:

Y=

P 0 k
+d +e
1000

Installation Procedures for NETZSCH Tubular PC Pumps (Figs. 14 to 16)


1. Prior to proceeding the installation of a NETZSCH PC Pump the spacing Y must be calculated according to the above guidelines. It is also strongly recommended to read the
section Pre-Installation and Installation Check-List.
2. Measure the length of the stator from the upper edge to stop pin on the device attached at the bottom. Record this value.
3. Measure the entire length of the rotor. Record this value to be added to rod string.
4. Register the traceability numbers of rotor and stator.
5. Attach tubing extension, if any, with stator on first tubing. If tubing extension is not necessary to the current application then attach pump stator to first tubing of tubing string.
Double check again if stop pin is at the bottom of the stator.
6. Assemble a torque anchor at the bottom end of the stop pin device (recommended).
7. Lower the tubing string until desired pump depth. (Note: If gas is present in the fluid and
the well depth allows, attach tail pipe (for natural gas anchor) or gas anchor, below the
torque anchor, or install the pump below the perforations, if possible).
8. Attach rotor to the first sucker rod. Lower down the rod string until it reaches the pin.
Monitor the length & load of the string continuously during installation. Slow down the
lowering speed when near the stator. After rod string reaches the stop pin the rod string
is fully supported by the stop pin and no load is registered on load cell (Fig. 14).
Note:
Depending on pump geometry and depth, the rod string should rotate slightly in direction of the stator pitch when the rotor starts entering into the stator. In some pumps or
depth this indication should not be clearly visible. Therefore, some care must be taken
when the partial length of rod string is closer to total expected length.
Before reaching its full length it is strongly recommended slowing down the speed that
the rod string is lowered in order to avoid damage to the elastomer of the stator or stop
pin, which can be caused by any unnecessary impact of the rotor.

Page 32

6.Revision - June 2005

PCP System Manual

9. Lift rod string slowly until the maximum previous registered load is indicated again. Before reaching its maximum, the load indicated on load cell will increase gradually as required to straight up the rod string once part of it is still supported by the stop pin.
Note:
As mentioned above, when the rod string is raised and depending on pump type and/or
depth of the installation, it should be possible to see the string rotating in opposite direction of that one observed when the rotor entered into the stator.
When the maximum load is achieved the rod string is no longer supported by the stop
pin, i.e., there will be no more actual contact between the rotor end and the bottom limit
device (Fig. 15). The string is then fully stretched, a condition that also includes the
elastic extension due to its own weight. The spacing of the rotor can now be proceeded.
10. Mark this position a (Fig. 15) on the rod string, meaning the exact point where the rotor
is virtually away from the stop pin. Lift up rod string slowly until the calculated spacing Y,
inherent to the pump being installed, is achieved. This is the referenced point r (Fig. 10)
in which the rotor is properly distanced Y from the stop pin and from which the other
measurements will be completed.
11. Once the referenced point r, on rod string, is established, it is necessary to add the total
length l concerning the surface components, which are positioned above r, such as:
Flow Tee + Flanges + Drive Head + Clamps + Portion of polished rod that is desired to
stay out the Clamps, resulting in the final reference R (also marked on rod string).
Note: NETZSCH recommends the range between 15 cm to 40 cm of polished rod remaining out of the clamps.
12. Lift rod string to the nearest joint. Anchor rod string in this joint by the rod elevator and
then unscrew the upper part of the string to be replaced by a polished rod and pony rods
in the length from the joint to the point R. This completes the proper length of rod string.
Note:
If the distance from R to the nearest joint is less than the minimum recommended polished rod length it is necessary to go to the next joint. The spacing procedures however
will be the same. It is important to mention that the polished rod size must be enough to
allow the free axial traveling of the rotor without the need of retrieving the drive head.
It is also important to mention that most of times the correct length, i.e., the distance
from R to the joint, is not exactly achieved through the polished rods and pony rod
sizes available on location. Even though the proper matched length must be pursued
as close as possible, this is not very critical at all once the small differences in length
has to be accounted in the portion of the polished rod that will be out of the clamps.
13. After spacing the rotor, install the prime mover on drive head according to Drive Head
Installation Procedure.

Installation Procedures for NETZSCH Insertable PC Pumps (Figs. 17 to 19)


An insertable PC Pump (Fig. 9) despite featuring the same operational procedures differs in
the way they are set. In accordance with its own designation, an insertable PC Pump is installed and retrieved with the sucker rod string, enabling more flexibility to the operation.
The use of insertable PC Pumps may also help reduce workover costs since, in some cases
and after the seating assembly is already in place, the operations for retrieving and installing
another pump shall be performed using small cranes instead of conventional workover rigs.
The slim profile of some drive heads associated to a multilobe pump design has allowed the
using of insertable PC Pumps in dual completion successfully.
Following are the steps to install an insertable NETZSCH PC Pump:
1. Prior to proceeding the installation of a Insertable NETZSCH PC Pump it is strongly
recommended to read the section Pre-Installation and Installation Check-List.
2. Register traceability numbers of rotor and stator.
3. Check the correct position of the seating assembly. Ensure that bottom lock device
carries the anti-rotational pin at its lower end.
4. Attach seating assembly at first tubing of the tubing string. Double check again if the
anti-rotational pin is at correct position.
5. Assemble a torque anchor at the bottom end of the seating assembly (recommended).
6. Lower the tubing string carrying the seating assembly until desired pump installation
depth.
7. Attach insertable pump to the first rod of the rod string. Lower down the rod string until
it reaches the seating assembly. Monitor the length & load of the string continuously
during installation.
Slow down the lowering speed when the pump is near the seating assembly.
Note:
Just before the pump is landed on the seating assembly, which measurement is predictable based on the rod length as mentioned above, the load on the cell reaches its maximum. As soon as the mechanical lock, on pump end, starts entering into the seating coupling, on seating assembly, the weight on load cell reduces because of the
restriction in dimensions between the diameter of the seating coupling relatively to the
diameter of the lock device.
The pump is fully landed when the rod string weight overcomes the required force to retract the lock, on the bottom lock device, enabling it to pass through the slight smaller diameter of seating coupling and then locking the pump in position. At this time the load
cell must indicate zero because the seating assembly now supports all weight of the
string.

8. Lift rod string slowly until the maximum previous registered load is indicated again.
Before reaching its maximum, the load indicated on load cell will increase gradually as
required to straight up the rod string once part of it is still supported by the stop pin.
Note:
When the maximum load is achieved the rod string is no longer supported by the shoulder of the sucker rod head, i.e., there will be no more actual contact between the
shoulder and the top end of the stator extension (Fig. 18). The string is then fully
stretched, a condition that also includes the elastic extension due to its own weight.
The spacing of the rotor can now be proceeded.
9. Mark this position a (Fig. 18) on the rod string, meaning the exact point where the
sucker rod shoulder is virtually away from the top end of the stator extension. Lift up
rod string slowly until the calculated spacing Y, inherent to the pump being installed, is
achieved. This is the referenced point r (Fig. 19) in which the sucker rod shoulder is
properly distanced Y from the top end of the stator extension and from which the other
measurements will be completed.
Once the referenced point r, on rod string, is established, it is necessary to add the
total length l concerning the surface components, which are positioned above r, such
as: Flow Tee + Flanges + Drive Head + Clamps + Portion of polished rod that is
desired to stay out the clamps, resulting in the final reference R (also marked on rod
string).
Note: Netzsch recommends the range between 15 cm to 40 cm of polished rod remaining out of the clamps.
10. Lift rod string to the nearest joint. Anchor rod string in this joint by the rod elevator and
then unscrew the upper part of the string to be replaced by a polished rod and pony
rods in the length from the joint to the point R. This completes the proper length of rod
string.
Note:
If the distance from R to the nearest joint is less than the minimum recommended
polished rod length it is necessary to go to the next joint. The spacing procedures
however will be the same. It is important to mention that the polished rod size must be
enough to allow the free axial traveling of the rotor without the need of retrieving the
drive head.
11. It is also important to mention that most of times the correct length, i.e., the distance
from R to the joint, is not exactly achieved through the polished rods and pony rod
sizes available on location. Even though the proper matched length must be pursued
as close as possible, this is not very critical at all once the small differences in length
has to be accounted in the portion of the polished rod that will be out of the clamps.
12. After spacing the rotor, install the prime mover on drive head according to Drive Head
Installation Procedure.

Drive Head Installation Procedures


At the same time the pump installation is in progress the Drive Head and Prime Mover must
be checked and prepared to be ready for installation at the end of the spacing procedures.
Based on hydraulic parameters of the installation as well as the specified pump depth, certify
that the drive head is suitable for the current application. Certify also that the prime mover is
suitable for the horsepower requirements. Avoid using oversize motors unnecessarily.
Check if the set of sheaves and belts are in accordance with the speed demanded by the
pump to achieve the target production rate. For proper match of sheaves refer to Tables A1
to A5. If using Variable Speed Drive (VSD) follow guidelines from manufacturer regarding
the required hook-up.
Generically, two different ways can be followed to install a NETZSCH drive head. The choice
of either option is based on field experience, lifting equipment available and safety procedures. For complete technical details about NETZSCH drive heads, refer to NETZSCH Drive
Head Operating and Maintenance Instructions.
NETZSCH drive heads are provided with proper hoisting lug locations. Make sure if drive is
attached to choose the correct recommended lifting points. Certify that electrical hook-up is
grounded.
Prior to finishing the prime mover hook-up, ensure that sense of rotation is correct to avoid
damages to the drive head built-in brake system and also to allow driving pump at the proper
direction. The polished rod must rotate in clockwise direction. Before proceeding the check
of sense of rotation make sure to loose the belts.
Drive Head Installation - Option 1
1. After proceeding the rotor spacing, connect the polished rod to the rod string with the ring
joint already in place.
2. Connect an auxiliary clamp to the polished rod above the flow tee flange and the ring
joint, in such way that approximately 6 feet (180 cm) from this polished rod remains over
the flow tee.
3. Lift up the drive head by using the proper hoisting lugs, so that the drive head remains in
the vertical position during the complete installation procedure.
4. Align the hollow shaft, in the drive head, with the polished rod and carefully lower the
drive head. Then, connect one pony-rod at the top of the polished rod.
5. Lift the rod string and the drive head simultaneously.
6. Remove the auxiliary clamps.
7. Lower the drive head only until its flange reaches the flow tee flange. Mount the bolts and
make sure the drive head is aligned to the well by ensuring that distance between flanges
are evenly around the ring joint, as shown in Fig. 20.
8. Clean the polished rod of any grease or oil along the area where the polished rod clamps
will be located.
9. Lubricate the thread of the bolts used to fix the clamps to the polished rod.
Page 38

6.Revision - June 2005

PCP System Manual

10. Lower the rod string to the previously determined position in which the clamps have to be
fixed to the polished rod in order to provide the desired spacing of rotor. Connect the
clamps to the polished rod by applying 400 Nm (300 lbs.-ft) torque. Remove the pony-rod
and place a coupling on the top of the polished rod.
11. If not already attached to the drive head, install the prime mover, sheaves and belts.
Align the sheaves of prime mover and drive head, then tight the belts in accordance with
the manufacturer recommendations and/or guidelines.
12. Depending on size of the drive head, install supports to relief the load on the flange (see
Figs. 11 and 12).
Drive Head Installation - Option 2
1. Have the polished rod oiled or greased and then insert it carefully into drive head hollow
shaft before it is lifted.
2. Avoid greasing or oiling the upper part of polished rod where the clamps will be placed.
Clean that, if necessary.
3. Fix clamps on polished rod at the position determined by the spacing procedures.
4. Ensure that clamps are properly tightened to polished rod. (400 Nm or 300 lb-ft, of
torque)
5. Also attach a pony rod at the top of the polished rod to allow the rod string to be handled
by the rod elevator while the drive head or drive head assembly (with prime mover) is being hoisted.
6. The assembly when properly lifted by the correct hoisting points should be vertically
aligned as shown on Fig. 21. If slightly deviated from the well alignment try to align it by
moving only the drive head. Keep the drive head away up from the flow tee flange to allow the polished rod to be attached to rod string. Make sure to tight them up properly.
Note:
Avoid the mistake of correcting the drive head alignment by applying force on polished
rod. Otherwise it may be permanently damaged. When the polished rod is bent it can
cause damage to the seal section. These conditions lead the system to premature fails.
7. Lower the drive head only until its flange reaches the flow tee flange. Mount the bolts and
make sure the drive head is aligned to the well by ensuring that distance between flanges
are evenly around the ring joint, as shown in Fig. 20.
8. Lower the polished rod slowly until the clamps are properly engaged into the dragging
coupling, at the top of the drive head.
9. If not already attached to the drive head, install the prime mover, sheaves and belts.
Align the sheaves of prime mover and drive head, then tight the belts in accordance with
the manufacturer recommendations and/or guidelines.

PRE-INSTALLATION AND INSTALLATION CHECK-LIST


1. Certify that all components and accessories necessaries to installation of the PC Pump system (rotor, stator, tubing extension, torque anchor, polished rods, pony rods, clamps, drive
head, prime mover, crossover, etc.) are available on location. Check them visually.
2. Check if drifts of casing and tubing sizes available on location are compatible to accommodate the stator OD, torque anchor OD, tubing extension, if any, and the biggest rotor diameter (refer to PC Pump Dimension Tables 2 to 4).
3. Make sure that selected pump displacement is suitable for the desired production rate.
Note: Preferable select the pump that provides the desired production at lower running
speeds (<250 rpm).
4. Make sure that threads of stator, crossover, rotor and tubing extension, if any, are compatible
with tubing, polished rods and rod string available on location.
5. Check if polished rod length is properly fit to the application.
Note: Use at least a rod with the length of the rotor and additional 3 meters or 10 feet to
enable flushing of the stator.
6. Check if drive head is suitable to support the expected axial load required by current application.
7. Check if prime mover horsepower is properly selected to application. Check if power supply
and cables are available. Connect prime mover to power supply and make sure that the drive
shaft is going to run at correct direction.
8. Inspect sheaves and pulleys and make sure they are suitable to run the pump at required
speed. Refer to Tables A1 to A5 to select the proper set of sheaves, if using NETZSCH
Drive Heads.
9. Certify if pin of the stop pin device is installed. Make sure to attach this device at the bottom
end of the stator.
10. Ensure that a torque anchor is assembled at the bottom end of the stop pin device
(recommended).
11. Check on surface, by using hands, if rotor enters into stator easily. Check rotor until it stops
at pin or tag bar, on bottom device. For easy entrance of the rotor into the stator grease or oil
these parts.
12. Make sure that tubing is properly gauged (drifted) and without any visible flaw (hole) on it.
Check by calculus the amount of tubing necessary to the required pump depth.
13. Make sure that sucker rods size and type are properly selected to the installation. Check by
calculus the amount of rods based on pump set depth.
14. After proceeding the spacing, install the drive head and certify that all connections are completed. Check casing and tubing levels. Register them. Monitor the volumetric efficiency.
Compare with performance curves provided.
15. Frequently monitor target casing fluid level to make sure that pump and well productivity are
as expected. Make correction on pump speed if necessary to adjust it to the target and well
productivity.

START-UP PROCEDURES

Prior to starting-up the PC Pump System follow these procedures carefully.

Certify if oil level on drive head is within the required range. Correct it if necessary.

Check if built-in brakes are properly set (e.g. if the adjusting brake bolt is tightened).

Double check if the electrical hook-up is adequately grounded.

Before completing the prime mover hook up, ensure that sense of rotation is correct to
avoid damages to the drive head built-in brake system and also to allow driving at the
proper direction.

Ensure that all flow line valves are open.

Check casing fluid level.

Fill up the tubing with completion fluid or water to allow monitoring the pressure and
volumetric efficiency immediately. If not, wait until the fluid reaches the surface. To estimate the time required by the fluid to reach the surface, refer to Table A6.

Start and shut-down the drive quickly, from the electric control panel only, to ensure
that sense of rotation is at correct direction. If direction is correct, re-start and leave the
system operating for a while and check for unusual noise and/or vibrations, then shut it
down again and check if brakes allowed the rods to experience backspin.

Leave the system operating normally and periodically monitor all related parameters
such as volumetric efficiency, amps, flow line pressure, temperature, leakage through
seal section, as well as casing fluid level to help optimize the pump speed with the well
productivity.

SHUT-DOWN PROCEDURES

Proceed the visual inspection on the drive head and check for unusual noise and/or
any apparent problems.

Ensure that servicing personnel near the drive head are protected when shutting down
the system. This is to avoid injuring them in the event of backspin occurs.

Shut down the system directly on the electrical panel or, in case of variable speed drive
is used, prior to shutting down reduce the speed gradually.

After shutting down, check for backspin and proceed a visual inspection on the drive
head.
Notes:
If drive head features a built-in mechanical backspin brake and if the brake system is
correctly activated no automatic reverse rotation will occur. (refer to section - Backspin Brake Systems)
In the drive head models with hydraulic backspin brake, the reverse rotation will start
under controlled speed immediately after shutting down the prime mover.
Under conditions of high viscosity of the fluid and/or low pump depth the backspin
may not occur.

To re-activate the backspin system, refer to section about Backspin Brake Systems.

SAFETY WARNING

In conventional PC Pump Systems, the rod string while in operation is always under elastic
torsion. Depending on the situation, the stored energy on rods can be very critical. High difference in level between tubing and casing, aromatic environment, or if the pump is not properly designed to allow the differential thermal expansion between rotor and stator are conditions that lead to potentially high stored energy on rod string.
The tension on rod string due only to difference in tubing and casing levels is the least influence that shall occur in a specific application, even though it is not negligible at all. It is inherent to the system itself. The release of energy is in such way, i.e., when rotor can still move
freely into the stator, the fluid level on tubing makes the pump to act as a hydraulic motor
and then the rod string changes its sense of rotation until the levels are equalized.
The situations become more critical when the elastomer of the stator swells and grabs the
rotor and also the prime mover is oversized for application, so that it has still enough power
to provide additional energy to the system while the rod string remains locked at bottom hole.
Such condition may also happen in sandy wells, when the stator may lock the rotor.
In this scenario the rod can be broken or the motor shall shutdown automatically when the
amps exceeds the safe limits. The rods come under potentially high elastic torsion inside the
tubing since it is locked at surface by the built-in brake, on drive head, and at the bottom, by
the stator. The possible consequences are:

If the rod string breaks, the energy is immediately released and the reverse torsion reaction makes the rod string to lift. The up thrust may possibly displace the clamps from
the dragging-flange on drive head. In this case the part of polished rod that are exposed out of drive head can cause a hazardous condition.
NETZSCH drive heads features a safety pin that locks the clamps on the draggingflange. This disables the polished rod from being pushed out by the up thrust, which
can be caused if the rod string is broken in operation.

If the rod string does not break it should remain under high torsion tension inside the
tubing and this condition requires trained personnel to properly release the brakes on
drive head. Incorrect releasing of the backspin brake can cause very high speed of the
rod string and the sheaves may become disintegrated by the centrifugal forces, creating a vital risk for service people.

Since any required servicing in the well MUST be done only after shutting the system down,
make sure to follow the procedures to release the brakes slowly to allow the backspin of rod
string to release the stored energy safely. Never proceed any type of work or maintenance
prior to releasing the tension on rod string.

ACCESSORIES GLOSSARY

Centralizer
As in any other completion, PC Pump Systems require the using of some accessories to perform ideally. The most common are rod centralizers, which are particularly useful in deviated
well profile or yet in severe dog leg conditions. In both cases rod centralizers are needed to
avoid the rod string to rub directly in contact with tubing.
Torque Anchor
Recently, with last developments in large displacement PC Pumps, torque anchors have
also been spread. This allows the tubing end to remain stand while the pump is running, ensuring smooth operation even for large orbital pump design. In addition, torque anchors also
avoid the tubing string to be unscrewed.
Tubing anchors are also used with same purpose. However, torque anchors are more suitable for PC Pump Systems since they allow the tubing string to move axially free while keep
the required torque to avoid the tubing for being unscrewed. This feature of torque anchors is
specially an operational advantage because the spacing remains the same as recommended
to perform conventional completions without anchor.
Due to its own characteristics, if a tubing anchor is used, the tubing remains stationary fixed
on casing. Then, additional spacing length must be considered to the regular recommended
spacing in order to avoid the rod string reaching the pin due to differential elongation caused
by the thermal expansion.
Blowout Preventer
A device that can be used to quickly seal the top of the well in the event of a well control
event (kick). A ram blowout preventer (BOP) consists of two halves of a cover for the well
that are split down the middle. Large-diameter hydraulic cylinders, normally retracted, force
the two halves of the cover together in the middle to seal the wellbore. These covers are
constructed of steel for strength and fitted with elastomer components on the sealing surfaces. The halves of the covers, formally called ram blocks, are available in a variety of configurations. In some designs, they are flat at the mating surfaces to enable them to seal over
an open wellbore. Other designs have a circular cutout in the middle that corresponds to the
diameter of the pipe in the hole to seal the well when pipe is in the hole.
These pipe rams effectively seal a limited range of pipe diameters. Variable-bore rams are
designed to seal a wider range of pipe diameters, albeit at a sacrifice of other design criteria,
notably element life and hang-off weight. Still other ram blocks are fitted with a tool steelcutting surface to enable the ram BOPs to completely shear through drillpipe, hang the drillstring off on the ram blocks themselves and seal the wellbore. Obviously, such an action limits future options and is employed only as a last resort to regain pressure control of the wellbore. The various ram blocks can be changed in the ram preventers, enabling the well team
to optimize BOP configuration for the particular hole section or operation in progress.

Typical Operating Problems with PC Pump Systems


Problem 1: Low continuous flow rate @ Low Pump Volumetric Efficiency.
Speed as previously set. Amps range is within expected limits.
Probable Causes

Recommended Actions

Rotor is not fully inserted into


the stator (incorrect spacing)

Check the rotor spacing and correct it if required.

Pump pressure capability (no.


of stages) undersized to the
application.
Rotor undersized for the temperature of application
Hole in Tubing

Check total head required by the operational installation. Check the pump
specification. Replace pump if necessary.

High GOR (or GLR)

Well productivity is lower than


originally considered
High fluid friction loss due to
centralizers
Stator is worn
Pump intake clogged due to

Check the temperature and rotor specification. Change the rotor to the
proper temperature match, if necessary
Check fluid level. Check pressure. Pull the tubing string and replace the
joints with problem.
Provide means for natural gas anchor by installing the pump below perforations and/or attached a tail pipe at the pump bottom if the depth of the
well allows. Otherwise use gas anchor.
Replace pump for another featuring more displacement and more pressure capability. Run at lower speeds to avoid the possibility to scorch the
elastomer or reduce the pump life.
Check fluid casing level. Reduce the pump speed. Monitor changes in
volumetric efficiency. Compares with performance curves.
Stimulate the well to recovery its original production
Double-check the installation about the necessity of centralizers. Change
centralizers to slim profile type, if available. Replace pump with more displacement capacity to run at lower speed without centralizers. Or change
tubing string for larger size if available and if compatible with casing drift
Retrieve pump. Perform bench test to assure if the pump can still be
used in another application (de-rating)
Replace pump

To determine the time "T" to fill tubing, in minutes, use the following expression:

T = (f x L)/Q
where "f" is the time factor, L is the static level, in meter, and Q is the flow rate, in m3 /d.
Ex.: To determine the time "T" to fill a 2.7/8", 2.441 lb/ft, tubing under the following conditions:
Pump flow rate:
Rod string:

35 m3/d
3/4 "

Static Level:

700 m

From Table, factor f = 3.94. Then, the time to fill tubing:

T = (3.94 x 700)/35
T = 79 minutes
