CO2 injection pump is key to enhancing oil recovery. Injecting carbon dioxide into oil reservoirs effectively reduces crude oil viscosity, thereby accelerating crude oil movement and improving oil recovery rates.
1. Enhancing Pump Performance
First, improving the pump body material can enhance its corrosion resistance and durability, thereby extending the equipment's service life. Second, optimizing the pump's structural design reduces energy loss and improves operational efficiency. Elephant Machinery offers clients intelligent pump station system design featuring unmanned operation capabilities and multi-terminal remote monitoring. This system enables synchronized control of reciprocating pump systems via computer and mobile clients with real-time data synchronization. These measures not only significantly boost pump efficiency but also reduce maintenance costs, providing more reliable support for overall oil extraction operations.
2. Reliability and Stability
To achieve the reliability and stability of CO2 injection pump, the equipment must deliver higher and more consistent output pressure—a prerequisite to be enhanced oil recovery rates. Ensuring uninterrupted injection operations and preventing equipment-related shutdowns requires state-of-the-art sealing technology to prevent CO2 leakage, alongside cooling systems to manage heat generated during prolonged operation. When addressing complex geological conditions, pump design must also prioritize flexibility to rapidly adjust operating modes based on actual requirements, thereby better adapting to diverse reservoir development demands. Elephant Machinery employs internationally advanced production techniques to manufacture compact, space-saving, and lightweight products for your use.
3. Precise Flow Control
Precise flow control plays a crucial role in the operation of CO2 injection pumps. By accurately determining the CO2 injection volume, we ensure the stability of the injection process. This allows for precise injection, improves the reservoir displacement front, increases the sweep radius, and reduces gas inrush.
4. Reduce Crude Oil Viscosity
Crude oil's high viscosity makes it difficult to flow from the ground. When a CO2 injection pump is used, the CO2 dissolves in the crude oil, causing it to expand and reduce its viscosity, making it easier to pump the oil to the production well.
5. Replenishing Subsurface Energy
As crude oil is continuously extracted, subsurface pressure gradually decreases. Injecting CO2 serves as an underground energy source to restore reservoir pressure. Compared to traditional water or gas injection, CO2 injection delivers superior results while also protecting the environment.
In summary, injecting CO2 into oil reservoirs not only effectively restores formation pressure but also enhances reservoir mobility, thereby improving crude oil recovery efficiency. This approach offers greater environmental sustainability compared to traditional methods while better accommodating complex geological conditions. Elephant Machinery has established valuable partnerships with national oil and pipeline companies such as SPC, KPC, and BAPCO, as well as numerous distributors who utilize our reciprocating pumps in oilfields across the Middle East, Russia, Africa, and South America.

When selecting a high pressure pump for oilfield cleaning operations, in addition to considering the performance parameters of the pump, it is also necessary to consider factors such as operational requirements, operating environment, product after-sales service, and supporting facilities. The following are key points to consider when making a selection:
1. Performance Parameters
Due to the varying operational environments and requirements of oilfield operations, the most suitable flow rate and pressure values must be determined based on specific operational needs.
Flow rate (L/min or GPM): The flow rate directly determines cleaning efficiency and operational capacity, so it is essential to assess actual operational requirements when selecting a high pressure pump. A higher flow rate results in faster cleaning speeds.
Pressure value (bar or PSI): The pressure value is one of the key factors determining the cleaning effect. Oilfield cleaning generally requires the removal of stubborn oil stains, mud, sand, etc., so a high pressure cleaning pump is needed. When selecting the pressure value, the characteristics of the cleaning object and the work objectives should be taken into consideration.
2. Drive mode
Diesel engine drive: This is the most commonly used drive method in oilfield operations. Diesel engine drives have strong power output capabilities and are suitable for use in oilfield environments without power or with unstable power supply, as well as in outdoor working environments. However, diesel engine drive equipment produces significant noise and requires regular maintenance of engine components to ensure normal operation.
Electric motor-drive: Suitable for environments with stable power supply. Compared to diesel engine-driven equipment, electric motor-driven equipment operates without noise issues, has lower maintenance costs, does not require frequent replacement of components, and emits no exhaust gases. However, electric motor-driven equipment has higher power supply requirements and is not suitable for field operations.
Hydraulic drive: A flexible drive method, hydraulic pumps are primarily suitable for scenarios requiring coordination with other hydraulic equipment. Hydraulic drive provides smooth power transmission and is easier to control, making it suitable for use in complex terrain or special environments. However, hydraulic systems have high requirements for sealing and pipe connections, and leaks may affect operational progress.
3. Pump body material
The choice of pump body material directly affects the durability and adaptability of high pressure cleaning pumps. In oilfield cleaning operations, the transported medium may contain corrosive substances, so corrosion resistance and wear resistance are essential requirements for pumps. Common pump body materials include stainless steel, carbon steel, and special alloy materials. When purchasing high pressure cleaning pumps, the appropriate pump body material should be selected based on the operating environment and medium characteristics to ensure stable operation of the equipment.
4. Safety Protection
Safety protection is the most important aspect of oilfield operations. When purchasing a high pressure cleaning pump, safety protection functions must be prioritised. The oilfield operating environment is complex and potentially hazardous, so equipment must have multiple safety protections to ensure the safety of operators.
5. Intelligence
Prioritise cleaning pumps with intelligent operation. Through an intelligent control system, functions such as wireless remote control, unattended operation, monitoring and alarm, and historical data storage cloud services can be achieved. Elephant Machinery's high pressure cleaning pump has this function.
6. After-sales Service

The selection of an appropriate backup pump is critical to ensuring the stable operation of crude oil transportation. When selecting a backup pump, it is essential to comprehensively consider factors such as the scale of operations, operating conditions, and potential risk factors. The backup pump should be compatible with the performance of the main pump to ensure that it can effectively take over in the event of a main pump failure. When selecting a backup pump, the following factors should be prioritised:
1. Flow and pressure parameter matching
The flow and pressure of the backup pump should match those of the main pump to meet the requirements of crude oil transportation under different operating conditions. Since the volume of crude oil transportation may vary, the flow and pressure requirements will increase accordingly when crude oil production demands are high.
2. Backup pump type
The backup pump should ideally be of the same type as the main pump to reduce operator training costs and simplify equipment maintenance procedures.
3. Drive method
• Electric motor drive: Most crude oil transfer pumps are electric motor-driven;
• Diesel engine drive: When the operational environment lacks a reliable power supply or experiences power outages, diesel engine-driven backup pumps become an ideal choice.
The backup pump should match the main pump's drive method to simplify equipment operation and maintenance.
4. Reliability and Durability
It is essential to ensure that the backup pump can handle impurities and the viscous properties of crude oil while possessing corrosion resistance to address wear issues during long-term operation. Additionally, the design of the backup pump should fully consider operational requirements under extreme conditions, such as high temperatures, high pressure, or prolonged continuous operation.

Piston pumps and reciprocating pumps are two common types of pumps used for compressing and transferring liquids, and there are some differences in their principles of operation and construction.
A Piston Pump (Plunger Pump) is a type of pump that generates pressure through the reciprocating motion of a piston in a cylinder. It usually consists of one or more pistons and corresponding piston rods that generate pressure through reciprocating motion, drawing liquid in through the inlet and discharging it through the outlet. Piston pumps typically have high working pressures and low flow rates, and are suitable for application scenarios that require high pressure and low flow rates. Piston pumps are generally simple, stable and reliable, and have a long service life.
Reciprocating Pump is a pump that generates pressure by reciprocating a plunger or piston. Reciprocating pumps are usually composed of a plunger or plunger piston, a gas spring and so on. As the plunger or piston moves forward, liquid enters the pump chamber through the inlet, and then the plunger or piston moves backward, discharging the liquid through the outlet. Reciprocating pumps can provide a high flow rate, but the working pressure is relatively low. Reciprocating pumps are suitable for application scenarios that require high flow rates and medium or low pressures.
Overall, piston pumps are suitable for high-pressure, low-flow operating conditions, while reciprocating pumps are suitable for higher-flow, medium- or low-pressure operating conditions. The choice of which pump to use depends on the specific application requirements and operating conditions.
Elephant Machinery is a professional company specializing in the production of reciprocating pumps and piston pumps, not only the use of the most advanced materials and manufacturing processes, but also combined with innovative design of strict quality control, known for its excellent products, to the customer first service concept has won the favor of many partners.
