Challenge
As production declined in a shallow oil well pumping at approximately 360 feet, an older jack pump became increasingly difficult to operate efficiently. Being a marginal producer, this aging system was performing too aggressively and exceeded what the low volume well could normally support. As a result, this excessive action disrupted the oil/water mixture and contributed to surface overflow and localized field damage.
Operators needed a more efficient pumping solution capable of performing at a slow, steady rate to recover oil, minimizing water disturbance and preventing additional surface issues and environmental damage.
