A LOOK AT WELL SERVICE PUMPS

Well, service pumps are industrial pumps that make oil and gas drilling possible. These high-pressure pumps are mainly used to stimulate and maintain oil and gas wells after drilling is complete. These engineering marvels come in a wide range of types and designs, the most commonly used of which nowadays include the triplex and quintuplex plunger pumps. These service pumps are able to handle the steady flow of operations even in high discharge pressure situations. Well, service pumps are used for a wide variety of applications, including, but not limited to hydraulic fracturing, plug drilling, acidizing, well cementing, and plugging for abandonment.


 


Because of the huge role that oil and gas play in turning the wheels of modern industrial societies, there is no denying the importance of well service pumpsin ensuring that such progress persists. It is also for this reason that technology surrounding these industrial tools keep on advancing and developing as innovations come to the surface. The development and discovery of newer and more efficient materials along with smaller and smaller components are making way for the overall enhancement of well service pump technologies. Nowadays well service pumps enjoy improvements in design in the form of:

    • Brand new valve designs, which incorporate new materials that prevent and pull down levels of erosion. The result is added lifespan for the pump’s fluid end. Higher quality suction valves also help prevent fluid end fatigue, reducing downtime, and optimizing running costs.

    • Higher rod load capacities – newer service pumps offer greater rod load capacities, which result in higher pumping capacity for the entire system. High capacity pumping at slower speeds reduces vibrations and considerably increases component lifespan.

    • Improved designs in terms of connecting rod joints also help increase bearing area, which in turn offer better durability for the system.

    • Good lubrication for moving parts. When machinery is well oiled, it can function more efficiently and smoothly as this prevents friction between moving components.

Innovations in well service pumps, as well as their components, help industry players and stakeholders increase production and make business sustainable, in turn ensuring that the world’s oil and gas requirements are met.
