Pumpjack Dynamometer Tests

 

A dynamometer analysis simultaneously measures the load and polished rod positioning of a rod pumping system in order to determine:

  1. Pumping unit's torques and loads.

  2. Rod stresses.

  3. Loading and efficiency of pumps.

Once these measurements are recorded, the well can be assessed for:

  1. Speed of system.

  2. Stroke length.

  3. Gearbox, pumping unit, or rod string loading.
