Unlike beam units or other lift methods, HRP units can be easily moved from well to well. As wells age, their lift design requirements inevitably change. From water flood to steam flood, the original Beam Unit placed in service may prove to be too large or small for the changing well dynamics. In many cases, Beam Units become pumped off and are left idle, allowing solids to settle on the downhole pump. Chronically pumped off beam units are typically an indication of an inappropriate paring of surface equipment with the downhole pump. Unfortunately, beam units are not easily replaced and so they are simply left idle.
HRP units can be easily and remotely optimized for the appropriate SPM, given changing well conditions. For more coarse adjustments, the power unit can be easily moved from well to well, or the hydraulic pump/motor and hydraulic cylinder combinations can be altered to achieve the optimal pump configuration for the well.
