A pumpjack is the overground drive for a reciprocating piston pump in an oil well. [1] It is used to mechanically lift liquid out of the well if there is not enough bottom hole pressure for the liquid to flow all the way to the surface. The arrangement is often used for onshore wells. Pumpjacks are common in oil-rich areas.
A shadoof or shaduf, [1] well pole, well sweep, sweep, [2] swape, [3] or simply a lift [4] is a tool that is used to lift water from a well or another water source onto land or into another waterway or basin. It is highly efficient, and has been known since 3000 BCE.
The Tripod is fixed with midsized pin piles at the sea bed. The piles might be pre piled or post piled. A suction bucket foundation was designed as well. The first tower section, called S3, is foreseen to be mounted offshore on top of the Tripod with a bolted flange connection. This section contains the outer service platform and the entry door.
Tripping pipe (or "Making a round trip" or simply "Making a trip") is the physical act of pulling the drill string out of the wellbore and then running it back in. This is done by physically breaking out or disconnecting (when pulling out of the hole) every other 2 or 3 joints of drill pipe at a time (called a stand ) and racking them ...
The dimension for the top suctions caisson is 8 m × ⌀1 m and for the bottom suctions caisson is 1 m × ⌀5 m. Suction caissons (also referred to as suction anchors , suction piles or suction buckets ) are a form of fixed platform anchor in the form of an open bottomed tube embedded in the sediment and sealed at the top while in use so that ...
PUMP TRUCK – The Engine of the truck is used to power the pump (which is a series of valves mounted behind the cab). -----> The Pump truck has a trailer which is the MUD TANK SNUBBING BASKET – Once again the trucks engine is used to power the unit's hydraulics. The Basket lies on the bed of the truck behind the cab.
The line of sucker rods is represented in this diagram by the solid black line in the center of the well. A sucker rod is a steel rod, typically between 7 and 9 metres (25 and 30 ft) in length, and threaded at both ends, used in the oil industry to join together the surface and downhole components of a reciprocating piston pump installed in an oil well.
A workover rig. The term workover is used to refer to any kind of oil well intervention involving invasive techniques, such as wireline, coiled tubing or snubbing.More specifically, a workover refers to the expensive process of pulling and replacing completion or production hardware in order to extend the life of the well.
