 SSi Unit - Key Advantages

Well Optimization

• Ability to analyze well pumping conditions via internally generated

dynamometer card with ability to remotely monitor

• Efficient operation, resulting in lower power consumption

• Extends time between failures (fewer rod/pump cycles).

• Better gas and heavy oil handling characteristics

 SSi Unit - Key Advantages
Safety and Field Operations
• All adjustments to operations are done on the power skid.

• Able to space out & in the rod string with a simple adjustment on the power skid
touch screen.

• Braking system is inherent in the system. No mechanical intervention is required

• Counterbalance is easily adjusted without stopping the unit .No large heavy
weights compared to conventional and Rotaflex units

• Requires few preventative maintenance actions.

• No guy wires required compare to well head mounted hydraulic pumping units .

• Few pinch points.

• 4-6 times safety factor .

 SSi Unit - Key Advantages

Safety and Field Operations

• Not wellhead mounted - No guy
wires required. No bending
moment placed on API wellhead
flanges
• Few pinch points.
• Not required to remove from well
head for workover -crane required.
SSi Alarms and Warnings

Warnings
Warnings are intended to forewarn of a
future alarm condition. In most cases,
adjustments can be made to avoid an alarm,
which could eventually shut down the unit.
• Warnings do not shut pump off
• Early indicator of a pending alarm
situation
• Act on to prevent an alarm shutdown
• Active Warnings will flash on Warning

SSi Alarms and Warnings

Alarms
When the unit has Alarmed a description of the
Alarm as well as the date and time of the Alarm
will scroll across the top of the Operations page
of the touch screen.
• Alarm shuts pump off
• Touch Screen displays Alarm across the top
of the screen
• Refer to troubleshooting guide in the
operators manual for cause and remedy
• Contact SSi Technical Support for assistance
• Do not restart until cause of alarm is
corrected
 SSi Unit - Key Advantages
Transportation and Installation
• Small footprint and lighter design allows for:
• Less shipping weight. It can fit on a single truck
• Small crane and 2 people can install a unit in 4 hours.
• Minimum site preparation

• Easy to move back and in from wellhead for servicing. Unit self aligns when
moved back into service. Does not require any crane or trucks.
SSI Application: Potential Candidates

• Deep Wells
• Deviated Wells and Horizontal Wells
• High Failure Frequency - Rods & Tubing wear
• Low Gravity Crude
• Difficult fluids
• High Bottomhole Temperature
• High Volume Production for conventional Beam pump
• (Low-Med) Submersible Range
• Dewatering/ unloading Gas wells
• Offshore low volume wells
• Remote marginal fields

 Comparison Vs Beam Unit

Beam Surface Unit Hazards

• Pumping units have large and heavy rotating parts.
Even a temporarily stationary pumping units has
components which can start moving from the effect
of gravity.
• Times of particular danger are during:
– The erection,
– Stroke change,
– Counterbalance change,
– General unit maintenance,
– Well servicing and
– While taking dynamometer card reading.
