Artificial lift requirements in California oil fields cover a full range of demanding operating and environmental conditions. These extend from typical demands of lifting depth and volume, to atypical requirements of heavy crude, thermal enhancement and the unique environmental restrictions of our urban sites and offshore fields. A new rod pumping system has been developed which deals with these requirements. Performance results to date confirm reduced power consumption and improved pumping performance. Combined with the compact equipment size, these characteristics appear to offer benefits to California operators.
