Oil Well Pumps: Modernising Oil Field Operations with Flintec's Advanced Wireless Load Cells
Oil well pumps are at the heart of the oil extraction industry, playing a vital role in transferring crude oil from underground reservoirs to the surface. The challenges of this demanding environment require robust and reliable equipment. Flintec offer a range of different products compatible with oil extraction and have pioneered a wireless pump off control system.
Types of Oil Well Pumps
Oil well pumps differ according to the extraction needs and geographical characteristics. Here are some common types:
Rod Lift Pumps
These are used to pump oil from wells through a rod string and sucker rod pump.
Electrical Submersible Pumps (ESPs)
ESPs are used for pumping oil when a large lift is needed, employing a series of centrifugal stages in a single assembly.
Progressive Cavity Pumps (PCPs)
PCPs are used to lift heavy and viscous crude oils, operating through a helical rotor and stator system.
Hydraulic Pumps
These pumps use hydraulic power to lift oil from the well, employing a downhole hydraulic motor to lift the fluid.
Gas Lift Pumps
Gas lift pumps inject compressed gas into the well to reduce the hydrostatic pressure, enabling the oil to flow to the surface.
Integration of Flintec's Wireless Products in Oil Well Pumps
Flintec's advanced technologies offer tangible benefits to oil and gas extraction applications, they include:
Enhanced Reliability: Flintec offer a wireless pump off control system, eliminating the need for cables, which are prone to breakage, reducing downtime, and maintenance costs.
Increased Safety: Wireless monitoring can detect irregularities and changes in pressure early, allowing for proactive adjustments that prevent accidents or malfunctions. This additional layer of safety is crucial in the demanding conditions of oil extraction.
Compliance: Flintec's products are approved for use in the challenging and dangerous world of oil extraction. We ensure that our products are not only reliable and accurate but are also safe to use.
