Rod pump control program

ACS880 drive’s built-in rod pump control software optimizes pump operation to minimize wear and tear of the pump and to maximize oil production. This is achieved with automatic tuning of the pumping speed depending on the oil level so that the bottom hole pressure is kept constant, resulting in an increased inflow to the pump from the well. By automatically maintaining a constant bottom hole pressure the need to stop the pump is minimized.

The rod pump control program has shown the potential to increase oil inflow by 55% and reduce the pump’s energy consumption by 31%. These figures were derived from actual customer site data including 9 oil wells.

Key benefits:

• Increasing production more than 20%
• Longer pump lifetime and minimized downtime
• Reducing energy consumption by 20-30% per produced barrel
• Fast return on investment
• Works with or without feedback from sensors
• Advanced control features packed into compact unit
