PC-PUMP ®

    Interactive Design and Evaluation Software for Downhole Progressing Cavity Pump Systems
    CFER Technologies

    Overview

    PC-PUMP® allows users to perform quality analyses, designs and evaluations for downhole progressing cavity pumping applications. No other software is capable of providing the level of detailed and in-depth analysis of surface drives and bottomhole assemblies that can be performed using PC-PUMP.

    PC-PUMP was developed as part of a multi-million dollar joint industry research project, completed by C-FER Technologies, to help improve the downhole PCP industry in western Canada.

    PC-PUMP Software

    Features

    • Enhanced design tools module includes equipment specification and well survey
    • Enhanced analysis module includes specifications for operating conditions and fluid properties
    • Exhaustive database of standard and vendor equipment
    • An intuitive interface
    • Quick conversion to and from Metric and Oilfield units

    Benefits

    • Select optimum configuration for new wells from a complete, up-to-date vendor database
    • Compare alternatives, diagnose problems, optimize system performance and make decisions efficiently
    • Minimize downtime while problem-solving a non-productive well

    A performance comparison of rod driven pumps to electric submersible PCP systems (i.e. PCPs driven by ESP motors) is also made possible. PC-PUMP is also valuable for optimizing well productivity on an ongoing basis by ensuring that pump equipment and speed matches well inflow.
