The issues of leakage with respect to the clearance between the pump plunger outer surface and the pump barrel inner surface and other operational conditions have been revisited in this paper. Both Poiseuille flow rate due to the pressure difference and Couette flow rate due to the plunger motion have been considered. The purpose of this study is to explore the possibility of representing the entire downhole pump system with a simple viscoelastic model. We have explored both Kelvin and Maxwell viscoelastic models along with the dynamic behaviors of a mass point attached to the viscoelastic model. By using the time-dependent polished rod force measured with a dynamometer as the input to the viscoelastic models, we have obtained the displacement responses, which match closely with the actual measurements in experiments and operations. Further study and experiments have been planned and partially implemented in the McCoy School of Engineering at Midwestern State University, a member of the Texas Tech University System. |
