3.2 Rotary Rod Pumping
This section discusses the practical limits of rotary rod pumping in terms of liquid production rate, gas production rate, depth, pressure, temperature, etc. It presents rough guidelines on the relative costs for rotary rod pumping. Obviously precise costs can not be given as they depend on many factors. It presents rough guidelines on the relative life expectancy of rotary rod pumping. Clearly, precise expectations can not be given as they depend on many factors.
· Practical Limits
- Depth limits
