Existing transportation fuel cycle emissions models are either general and calculate
nonspecific values of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from crude oil production, or are not …

The most decisive constituent of operating expenditures in sucker-rod pumping operations is
related to the system's electric power use as most installations are driven by electric motors …

As the smart oilfield has grown, various deep learning technologies are being utilized to
recognize the graphic feature of the indicator diagram in order to detect the fault type of rod …

The main purpose of this study is to investigate the feasibility of using a hybrid photovoltaic
(PV), fuel cell (FC), and battery system to power different load cases, which are intended to …

The objective of this paper is to provide insight on the design of downhole gas separators
based on laboratory studies of various designs. A downhole gas separator, also known as a …

Reciprocating oil pumps are operated traditionally by prime movers rotating at a constant
speed. This paper demonstrates that by changing motor speed rapidly within a single stroke …

This paper describes a systematic assessment of artificial lift (AL) methods for a heavy oil
development in Kuwait. The main recovery strategies that were being considered for the …

Inefficient well operations result from a variety of poor production operations. An improperly
designed rod string, improper size pump, incorrect stroke length, over-sized pumping unit …

In this paper, we revisit the issues related to dynamics and mechanisms of the pump jack as
a surface unit of the sucker rod pumping systems. In particular, we employ both the …
