ARTIFICIAL LIFT SOLUTIONS

Rotating Right has provided artificial lift technology for a number of

years. It now focuses on jet pump hydraulic lift systems, and a revolutionary
Reciprocating Electric Submersible Pump (RESP) technology.

With our extensive experience and expertise, Rotating Right will analyze well
data and advise on a preferred method for artificial lift. From wells with high
deviation or solid content to high temperatures and corrosive environments, ISO 9001:2008
Registration No. 1371
an optimized solution can be found.

OLD TECHNOLOGY

At present beam pumping units (pumpjacks) are the

most common type of artificial lift system used
worldwide accounting for about 90% of all installed
artificial lift on oil wells. They have several drawbacks:

• Obtrusiveness (height)
• Leaking stuffing box
• Rod wear
• Tubing wear
• Gas locking
• Inefficient if not balanced

HOW IT WORKS
Casing
A linear motor replaces both pumpjack and sucker
rods to drive a reciprocating pump end to lift
production to surface. The pump and linear motor Standing
are run on end of tubing with motor landed at or Valve
above perforations so that production cools motor.
Travelling
The power cable is directly connected to the linear Valve
motor and banded to tubing as in ESP installations.
The controller energizes the motor only when Barrel

travelling up or down and the motor is off between
strokes which saves energy.

The stroke frequency is adjustable between 0.0 -

20.0 strokes per minute by changing the controller
parameters. The entire system can be monitored
and controlled with a SCADA system.

Intake
This is a revolutionary improvement over the
conventional reciprocating pump technology used
in the industry for over a century.

 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT

Depending on the application, the RESP can reduce power consumption significantly. The Smooth Operator controller energizes
the motor on the up and down stroke only, so no power is used between strokes. In addition, the frequency of the motor is
controlled so as to maximize thrust on the upstroke and minimize thrust on the down stroke to further decreased energy consumption.

The product weighs 1 ton versus an average of 30 tons of steel used in manufacturing equipment for one beam pumping installation.
Assuming there is 1.8 tons of carbon dioxide emissions per 1 ton of steel production, that is a reduction of 52 tons of carbon
dioxide emissions to the atmosphere per installation.

TYPICAL RESP APPLICATIONS

• Replace beam pumping units • Deviated wells

• Gassy wells • Gas well dewatering

RESP SPECIFICATIONS

The RESP units are offered in several size combinations. Dimensionally there are two size offerings – 4 -1/2” (114mm) and 5-1/2”
(140mm) OD. The RESP pump is designed for optimal intake and close fitting valves to mitigate gas locking. The assembly includes
API Specification 11AX components and are offered in a variety of standard sizes from 1.25” to 3.75”. Stroke length for all pump
sizes is 48 inches (1.22 m).

The RESP motors are tested in the horizontal position, to 300°C (572°F) and 30 MPa (4,350 psi). They are offered in 480 V, 660 V and
1140 V sizes, all of which are accompanied by specific controller packages that require little more than a power supply and step up
transformer, where required.

The rated depths for the units are calculated using plunger size, fluid column pressure of fresh water, and nameplate voltage.
The RESP is rated up to 15,000 ft TVD and displacements range from 0 to approximately 1,500 bbls/day dependent on liquid and
gas properties.

 “THE SMOOTH OPERATOR”

Advanced Monitoring and Control

Intelligent control can be achieved with the Smooth

Operator controller which is designed and built specifi-
cally for the RESP. It is an advanced inverter based
control system using proprietary firmware and
algorithms to deliver advanced control of the RESP
permanent magnet linear motor. The user friendly
graphical display enables operators and engineers
alike to monitor the full spectrum of the systems opera-
tion in real time. The downhole pressure gauge and
real time POC option allows for greater control leading
to improved recovery and production optimization.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS:

• Continuously monitors pump conditions and shuts down pump if adverse conditions are detected
• Touchscreen display provides HMI (Human Machine Interface) for local control, analysis and configuration
• Continuous logging and monitoring of all on-site equipment. Minimum 60 days historical data
• Optional remote monitoring and control. Exceptions/alarms may be immediately transmitted to an
operator's cell phone or email
• Three levels of password-protected security
• Easily customizable User Interface Screens
• Graphing and trending module for quick, at-a-glance performance analysis

SUBSURFACE JET PUMPS

The subsurface jet pump is what transfers energy and

momentum when mixing the power fluid with the well fluid.
Rotating Right provides subsurface jet pump equipment in
a broad range of sizes and designs. The “free pump”
design is more common since they can be pumped to
surface for replacement or redress by circulation alone.

Jet pump are comprised of nozzle, throat and diffuser,

which come in a variety of sizes and configurations. They
Production
can be used to produce wells from as little as 50 B/D to over Casing
15,000 B/D. One of the inherent benefits of jet pumping is
the lack of downhole moving parts. This coupled with high
quality corrosion and abrasion resistant metallurgy, allows
jet pumps to remain operational downhole for exceptionally
long periods.

EXPERIENCE

Rotating Right has decades of experience working

with jet pump technology. Applications have ranged
from local onshore single wells to installations on
remote offshore multi-well platforms. In a recent
project offshore Egypt, a multi-well package utilizing
a single surface unit was installed to enable simulta-
neous production from 5 wells. Past experience also
includes a multi-well package with single surface
unit installation in Gabon, West Africa, as featured
on the brochure title page.
