Interview Dean Aylett
Unconventional Sales Manager Dean Aylett answers top questions about extending ESP lifetime with Continuum pumps.
With a variety of gas and sand specialty products, tools, and anchors, enhance pumping performance and extend run life—increasing the overall efficiency of the rod lift system.
Help prevent conditions such as gas breakout from entering the wellbore and migrating through the downhole pump with packer-style gas separators used at the bottom of the tubing string—below the seating nipple. A proper gas separator greatly reduces the gas interference and solids damage that can cause insufficient pump intake and gas pound and contribute to rod string fatigue and pumping unit gearbox damage.
Separate free gas from production fluid and minimize gas interference.
Extend run life in applications that suffer from cage beat-out due to violent ball travel.
Reduce gas interference by allowing fluids and particulates to travel through valve with less disturbance.
Minimize wear and protect the valve rod by stabilizing it during the pump stroke.
Maintain proper valve orientation by allowing a small amount of fluid to reenter the pump.
Improve separation of entrained gas from production fluid and minimize gas interference and breakout.
Prevent stuck pump scenarios, reduce particulate collection near the hold-down, and prevent damage caused by solids.
Prevent a stuck pump scenario caused by solids accumulation around the hold-down.
Prevent stuck pump scenarios and stop solids from falling back through the fluid on well shutdown.
Eliminate equipment failure in wells with large volumes of sand by directing solids away from the barrel.
Prevent corrosive, stagnant fluid from attaching outside of pump and solid material from settling on pump hold-down.
Easily retrieve rods, prevent costly fishing jobs, and eliminate damage during anchor setting.
Easily retrieve a fiberglass sucker rodstring and prevent costly fishing jobs.
Eliminate stripping jobs and retrieve the rods and tubing separately.
Anchor the pump and pack off the fluid production string in bottom hold-down insert pumps.
Reduce tubing movement caused by cyclical loading, thereby decreasing wear on rods, tubing, and casing.
Deploy at any point in the well in relation to perforations and minimize solids buildup in the anchor.
