The sucker rods plays a vital role in the artificial lift process, which brings oil or gas to the surface when the natural reservoir pressure is insufficient. Here are the primary functions:
Transmitting Power
The sucker rods transmit the reciprocating motion generated by the surface pumping unit down to the downhole pump. This reciprocating motion creates the necessary suction and lifting action to bring fluids to the surface.
Supporting the Downhole Pump
Suck Rods bear the weight of the downhole pump, ensuring it remains suspended at the desired depth within the wellbore integrity. They provide stability and control the vertical movement of the downhole pump assembly.
Withstanding High Loads
These types of rods are designed to withstand high tensile loads and torque during pumping. They must possess excellent strength, durability, and resistance to corrosion to ensure efficient and reliable oil and gas production.
