    This document discusses QRod, a beam pumping simulator software. It can be used to design and predict the performance of sucker rod pumping systems. The software uses the wave equation to simulate rod string motion and calculate surface loads. It allows users to input parameters like pump depth, rate, stroke length, and fluid properties to design a system and ensure rod stresses do not exceed limits. Graphs compare predicted and measured data to evaluate system performance. The software aims to provide a simple, practical tool for beam pumping system design.

    QRod - Beam Pumping Simulator


    1. Uses pump intake pressure to determine the load the pump applies to the rods. 2. Mathematically simulates the motion of the surface unit 3. Solves the partial differential equation describing the motion of rod string 4. Calculates surface loads, pump velocity & position. 5. Determines gear box torque and proper counter balance

    PUMPING PERFORMANCE GUIDE


    From Predictive Dynamometer Design Programs:

    1. Is the pumping system operating as expected? 2. Is the predicted dynamometer in agreement with accurately measured horseshoe dynamometer data? 3. If not, the design program may have incorrect data, or the software is not properly predicting well performance. 4. Can the performance be improved by a change in pump size, polished rod stroke length, SPM or other factors?

    Design a pumping system to pump 350 BPD from a depth of 5000 ft with a .95 fluid specific gravity
    API RP11L method determines percentage of each rod size and depends on the pump diameter; resulting in a balanced design with approximately equal stresses at the top of each rod section. 86 - 3 taper rod string 30.0% of 1 inch, 29.5% of 7/8 inch and 40.5% of inch rods. Loading on the top rod is 91.9% of the allowable for grade C rods and calculated using the modified Goodman diagram method.

    Maximum allowable working stresses should not be higher than about 30,000 to 40,000 psi, although some sucker rods, such as the "high tensile strength" rods are rated at 40,000 to 50,000 psi maximum. Operation of rods in corrosive environments requires that the maximum allowable stress be decreased. Max. Allowable Stress, Sa = (0.25T + 0.5625*Smin)*SF Allowable Stress Range, Sr = Sa - Smin
