TaperAL and GasAL Improve PC Pump Performance in Gassy Wells
We are pleased to share that World Oil has published an article authored by five of our subject matter experts: Abhishek Prakash, Lonnie Dunn, Ryan Rowan, Mohammed Wajeed, and Jonghun Song.
The article, titled “Tapered PC Pump for gassy applications. Enhancing pump efficiency and run life through improved gas handling with more even pressure distribution along the pump” explores how our innovative technologies—the TaperAL™ Progressing Cavity Pump and GasAL™ Separation Technology—are redefining performance in challenging gassy environments.
Why This Matters for Operators
Gassy wells often cause uneven pressure distribution, torque fluctuations, and premature pump failures. Our solutions address these issues head-on:
- TaperAL : Promotes uniform pressure distribution, reducing mechanical stress and extending pump run life.
- GasAL : Minimizes free gas entering the pump, improving stability and volumetric efficiency.
Together, these technologies help operators lower intervention frequency and operating costs, optimize production rates, and reduce risk of gas-related wear and fatigue.
Proven in the Field
Deployments in heavy oil and CBM wells demonstrate the versatility of TaperAL and GasAL across diverse reservoir types. Ongoing testing continues to refine application guidelines for maximum success.
