Pumpjack Dynamometer Tests
A dynamometer analysis simultaneously measures the load and polished rod positioning of a rod pumping system in order to determine:
-
Pumping unit's torques and loads.
-
Rod stresses.
-
Loading and efficiency of pumps.
Once these measurements are recorded, the well can be assessed for:
-
Speed of system.
-
Stroke length.
-
Gearbox, pumping unit, or rod string loading.
