Down Hole Equipment

  • Flexible steel band up to 1500 m of length
  • Steel band surface sealing
  • Plunger for working straight into the tubing

Surface Unit

  • Large diameter traction wheel for 1500 m steel band.
  • High torque motor and variable pump hydrostatic transmission.
  • Electric motor or diesel engine prime mover.
  • Control and supervision from onshore control central via modem, either by wire, satellite or radio.
  • Operators terminal for selection of plunger's depth, stroke length, velocity up/down, etc.
  • Bar graph indicates plunger's travelling position.
  • Alarm system supervises the operation and continuously indicates the current status.

Highlights

  • 1500 m plunger depth and 200 m active stroke length.
  • Flexible steel band permits 30 degree elevation of tubings.
  • Soft change of direction, smooth acceleration and deceleration of the traction wheel.
  • Disc brake stops the traction unit immediately if plunger meets an obstruction.
  • Detection and early warning alarm, should paraffin or asphalt being built up.
  • Long stroke eliminates spring effect.
  • Swabbing effect due to continious pump flow.
  • Reduced influence of gas break outs.
  • Longer life time due to reduced cycle periods and load variations.
  • Light workover and plunger repair by spooling the entire steelband and the plunger up to surface.
