In the oil and gas industry, oilfield service personnel are responsible for a series of complex downhole operations, such as fracturing, cementing, acidizing, well killing, and well flushing. Behind these high-risk operations lies a common critical component—the Well Service Pump.
1. What is a well service pump?
A well service pump is typically a high pressure plunger pump. It is primarily used to inject high pressure fluids into a well to achieve purposes such as fracturing, cementing, acidizing, well killing, or well flushing.
2. Functions
• During fracturing operations, it enhances reservoir permeability and creates pathways for hydrocarbon extraction;
• During cementing operations, it isolates formations, reinforces wellbore walls, prevents blowouts and fluid migration, ensuring wellbore stability and safety;
• During acidizing operations, it dissolves obstructions or enlarges pores through chemical reactions, restoring and boosting oil and gas well productivity;
• During emergencies like abnormal wellbore pressure, it enables rapid injection of kill fluid to equalize pressure and prevent blowouts;
• During well flushing operations, it maintains borehole integrity, preparing conditions for subsequent interventions.
3. Applications
• Hydraulic Fracturing
• Cementing
• Acidizing
• Well Killing
• Well Flushing
When designing a well service pump, comprehensive consideration must be given to the well depth, diameter, downhole medium properties (such as temperature, pressure, corrosiveness, sand content, etc.), as well as specific operational requirements. Elephant Machinery's reciprocating pumps are perfectly adaptable to various well service scenarios. Additionally, we offer customization services.
