Beam Pumps
Beam pumping is the most widely used and economical lift method, and this course builds a detailed understanding of the complete system. Each component, from the prime mover and gearbox to the sucker rods and downhole pump, is explained, and design and analysis are carried out with industry software. Exercises also cover how to decide when beam pumping is the right lift choice.
