Classroom-Based Training
Penta Completions believes that training is a very valuable tool for oil companies to optimize their wells and offers a full range of courses to the energy industry. While the Sucker Rod Pumping Systems school is offered in a classroom setting during the spring and fall, the remainder of the courses (see “Other Training” below) are best done on‐site at the oil company’s location.
Sucker Rod Pumping Systems – Design, analysis and Optimization
Outline
Wellbore characteristics
Geological and reservoir concepts, porosity & permeability, reservoir and bubble point pressure, vogel’s and linear inflow performance relationships (I.P.R. Curves), pressure decline maintenance.
Beam lift system Components
Down hole rod pumps, rods & tubing, unit pumpers, prime movers.
Beam pumping system design
Design guidelines, plus deviated or horizonal rod string design.
Dynamometer well analysis
Dynamometer card interpretation, fluid levels, depression tests & pressure build-ups, optimizing existing wells.
Rod pumping “Challenges”
Gas interference, fluid pound, well problems, gearbox overload, sucker rod failures, pump off control.
Course Description
This course covers the necessary skills to enable you to maximize your rod pumping efficiency. This training will be of great interest to anyone involved with rod pumping systems including engineers, production technologists, production superintendents, field foreman, and service personnel.
Fee: $1195.00 CDN + GST
Includes: 3-Day school tuition, course manual, continental breakfast and refreshments.
Instructor
Tom Dennehy
Mr. Dennehy has devoted his career to the advancement of sucker rod lift technologies. Starting off in the field with Mid Continent Supply almost 5 decades ago, Mr. Dennehy founded Penta Completions in 1987 and has been focused on the science behind sucker rod artificial lift ever since. A long-standing affiliation with Mr. Ken Nolen, Dr Sam Gibbs and Mr. Fred Morrow going back to the development of the NABLA diagnostic and predictive technologies, combined with Mr. Dennehy’s experience both in the field and on the engineering side of sucker rod lift adds a unique and valuable perspective to rod pumping, benefitting both field and office personnel.
