Sucker Rod Pump (SRP)
Sucker Rod Pumping (SRP) is one of the most widely used artificial lift methods, known for its simplicity, reliability, and cost-effectiveness in low-flow and mature wells. Utilizing a positive displacement mechanism, SRP operates efficiently under low bottom-hole pressure conditions, making it a trusted fallback when other lift methods fail.
-
SRP systems use a reciprocating pump installed downhole, driven by a surface pumping unit connected through a string of sucker rods. As the rod string moves up and down, the pump lifts fluid from the reservoir to the surface, ensuring steady production even in wells with low gas-liquid ratios or high viscosity crude.
