Handling the Tough Stuff: The Progressive Cavity Pump Artificial Lift
Heavy oil, sand, and deviated wellbores are the nemesis of conventional artificial lift systems. Rod pumps suffer rod/tubing wear, electric submersible pumps (ESPs) erode and gas lock, and gas lift is inefficient with viscous fluids. The progressive cavity pump artificial lift (PCP) system addresses these challenges. A PCP uses a surface drive (or downhole motor) to rotate a helical...
