    This document summarizes a study presented at the 2006 Sucker Rod Pumping Workshop in Houston, Texas. The study aimed to improve the profitability of sucker rod pumped wells in a mature North African oil field by assessing operating conditions, detecting problems, optimizing pumping modes, and maximizing liquid production. Measurements on over 50% of the field's 70+ rod pumped wells revealed various operational problems. Optimization of the pumping mode for each well resulted in an estimated 17% reduction in electric power usage across the field. Calculations also showed potential liquid rate increases of around 70% for key wells by achieving optimal pumping conditions.
