Carbide Insert Guide (CIG)

Carbide Insert Guide (CIG)

The installation of the Carbide Insert Guide (CIG) will eliminate the
possibility of your rod insert pump problems of broken or severely worn
holdown assemblys. The unique design of this guide allows the installation
of a carbide insert to be put into the center of your valve rod guide which will
eliminate holdown wear and breaks.

Wells with deviation or high compression cause a side loading of the pumps
valve rod against the guide, on the top of the pump. When this guide begins
to wear it allows the rod to begin wearing against the pumps holdown causing
it to be come thin enough to wear a hole or break, both resulting in a pump
failure. By adding the CIG, wear is prevented on the guide by the strength
and durability of the carbide insert. This allows your pump to work longer and
eliminate premature failures of the holdown assembly.

The CIG is designed to fit any size of API rod insert pump.

Advantages
Eliminates broken or worn holdown assemblys
Eliminates costly fishing jobs for barrel tubes
Eliminates side loading in pump chamber
Due to its beefier design, it will not pound out
Extended pump run life

Features
Utilizes a carbide insert for increased durability.
Carbide insert has a hardness of 89 HRA.
3 piece designs are stronger and will not pound out like traditional
guides.
Available in standard and high grade materials to suite your well
conditions.

Priming Valve

The installation of the Priming Valve (PV) will eliminate gas-locking problems associated with
gassy and low volume wells.

In a gas lock situation, gassy fluid between the pumps two valves is expanded and compressed.
When the pressure in between the two valves becomes greater than the inflow pressure, the
standing valve will not open. If both valves remain closed the pump will gas lock, reducing or
eliminating the wells production.

The PV utilizes a small orifice to allow a controlled leak of produced fluid into the pump
chamber. Fluid is non-compressible, so when the required amount of fluid enters the pump
chamber, the travel valve contacts the fluid thus opening the valve and allowing gas and liquid
to be displaced out of the pump chamber and allowing normal pump operation to continue.

The PV is designed to fit any size of API pump.

Advantages
Eliminates gas locking
Reduces gas and fluid pound
Reduces premature valve damage
Increases production

Positive Seal Plug (PSP)

The design of the Positive Seal Plug (PSP) eliminates the possibility of
your bottomhole pump hanging up or seizing on the downstroke due to
sands and solids. The PSPs unique design allows sands and solids in
the bottom chamber of your pump barrel to be funneled through the travel
cage and plunger. The PSP utilizes a tight tolerance and a funnel design
to push the solids trapped in your fluid through the plungers center rather
than allowing it to go in-between your plunger and barrel tube causing
hang-ups or seizing the plunger on the downstroke. With the PSP
pushing the solids through the center of the plunger, the plunger is
allowed to fall free without hang-ups.

The PSP is designed to fit any size of API insert pump.

Advantages
Helps eliminate plunger hangs ups on the downstroke
Funnels solids through the plunger
Fits any API insert pump
Design assists in gas compression
Increases working life of the pump

Features
Funnel design pushes solids through the pump rather than allowing
solids to go in-between the plunger and barrel.

Top Seal

Top Seal was designed to seal off sand, scale and other
undesirable well material from settling around the barrel
and seating assembly on a stationary barrel, bottom hold
down type pump.

Top Seal utilizes a rubber element that is bonded with a


steel insert to minimize extrusion, to aid in releasing the
rubber from the tubing wall, and to prevent the fluid from
washing it away when the tool is released. This rubber
element acts as a packer to isolate the space usually open
to receive sand and scale.

Installation

The Top Seal is installed on any conventional Bottom Hold


Down, Stationary Barrel Pump. The seal sets by applying
the weight of the rods onto the tool. To release, merely
pick up the rod string and the pump.

Advantages
Available for 2-3/8 and 2-7/8 tubing.
Helps eliminate stripping jobs due to a stuck pump
Can be redressed with a new rubber element

Top Gas Check or Top Sliding Valve

The Top Gas Check is designed to hold the hydrostatic head


off of the traveling valve on the pump downstroke. It is run
at the top of the pump above the Barrel Connector. Even a
momentarily holding back the hydrostatic head is useful in
creating a low-pressure area above the traveling valve, thus
helping it to open under gas locking conditions.

The hydrostatic pressure will close the Top Gas Check and
the restriction of fluid flow due to the slight clearance will
create a differential pressure that helps the traveling valve to
open. Not only does the Top Gas Check minimize the
effects of fluid pound, but it helps to prevent sand from
settling into the pump. However, in wells with a high gas to
fluid ratio, an additional gas device should be considered.

Sidekicker

The Sidekicker is a designed to eliminate gas lock because


the traveling valve is opened and closed mechanically. It is
attached to the top of the plunger and it designed to physically
lift the traveling ball off of its seat. When the Sidekicker opens
the traveling valve fluid is allowed to reach the standing valve,
filling the void created by gas in the lower chamber. This
prevents gas lock and creates a smoother stroke which can
extend the life of the pumping equipment. It is important that a
pump with a Sidekicker not be tapped.

Hydrostatic Relief Valve (HRV)

The installation of the HRV virtually eliminates the possibility of a Gas


Lock situation in your subsurface pump. This design assists in removing
the hydrostatic pressure off the travel valve. This allows the valves to
open easier and quicker when gas compression and expansion is
reducing your pumping efficiency. This type of two stage effect reduces
damage caused by the gas and fluid pound on your pumping system.

Another advantage with using the HRV is that it decreases the sucker rod
load range and keeps them in tension on the down stroke.

The HRV is designed to fit any size of API insert pump.

Advantages
Helps prevent gas locking
Reduces gas and fluid pound
Gives pump a two stage effect
Decreased load range on sucker rods
Reduces premature valve damage
Increases working life of pump

Features
Solid guide keeps hydrostatic head off slide resulting in easier and
quicker opening
Heat-treated S.S. slide for abrasion and mild corrosion
Tungsten Carbide seat for abrasion, corrosion resistance and fluid
cutting
Available in standard and high grade materials to suite your well
environment
Slide available in both brass and heat-treated S.S.
Guides are heat-treated to reduce wear, improve slide alignment
and reduce damage from tapping

For superior results a stainless steel slide and spray metal


valve rod is recommended

Hart Gas Lock Breaker

The Hart Gas Lock Breaker is another option that allows rod operated
pumps to function in wells with a high gas to oil ratio. The Hart
traveling cage is attached to the bottom of the plunger and is longer
than a standard cage.

A Hart probe is attached to the bottom of the barrel (or extension)


which has a rod that enters the traveling cage on the downstroke and
physically lifts the ball of the seat. Spacing becomes important as to
allow the probe to enter the cage and lift the ball off of the seat. The
pump should not be set on tap when a Hart Gas Lock Breaker is
installed on the pump.

High Compression Cage

The high compression cage has limited ball travel and is shorter in height
than an API closed barrel cage. This cage can be used on an internal
thread barrel when you need to get the standing valve and traveling valve
cage closer together.

Dart Valve

The Dart Valve is able to keep the ball off of the seat during the entire
downstroke, which effectively places everything within the pump barrel
into the production column. By opening the traveling valve at the start of
the downstroke, transient forces are not allowed to build up and affect the
opening of the valve within the Dart Valve. This prevents gas lock and
creates a smoother stroke which can extend the life of the pumping
equipment. It is important that a pump with a Dart Valve is not to be
tapped.

Solution Valve

A traveling valve for incorporation within downhole rod pumps. The valve is positioned on the
bottom of the plunger, with the usual traveling valve relocated at the top. As is normally the
case the Standing Valve remains positioned at the bottom of the pump barrel. Within the
Solution Valve, the ball is centered and stationary, while the seat moves up and down in
accordance with resistance imposed by its short drag plunger. Consequently, the valve opens
and closes upon initiation of down and up strokes, respectively. The Solution Valves unique,
exclusive, patented design in travel valve technology works wonders in gassy fluids, increases
pump efficiency in vertical, deviated and horizontal wells, and increases pump life.
