Downhole Sucker Rod PumpsThroughout the United States, Eastern Europe and Central

Asia, you will find thousands of Cameron’s downhole pumps

installed. Necessary to operate a rod lift system, downhole

pumps have two major components — a plunger assembly

and a barrel assembly. Cameron manufactures both assemblies

in-house, assuring the Cameron-standard high

level of quality.

Rod lift is the most common form of artificial lift, known for its

easy operation and low maintenance requirements. Cameron’s

renowned reputation for high quality and service is exemplified

through its rod lift systems that are API 11AX and 11B certified,

then serviced through the CAMSERV™ network.

Insert PumpsAn insert-type downhole pump is attached to the sucker rod

string and locks down into the seating nipple assembly at the

bottom of the tubing. An advantage of the insert-type pump is

that it can be easily maintained by pulling only the sucker rod

string. Cameron offers two types of insert pumps, those with a

traveling barrel and those with a stationary barrel.

Traveling Barrel – This option for insert pumps includes a

moving barrel assembly and a static plunger assembly. The

configuration is most useful in wells with a significant amount

of “trash”, including sand.

Stationary Barrel – Contrary to the traveling barrel, the

stationary version does not move. Instead, the plunger assembly

moves up and down with the motion

of the pumping unit.

Tubing PumpsA tubing-type pump is typically used to achieve higher

production rates. The barrel assembly attaches to the end of

the tubing string and the plunger assembly attaches to the

sucker rod string.

Barrel AssembliesAll processes are closely monitored at the Iola, Kansas,

manufacturing facility and are in accordance with all of

Cameron’s HSE and quality assurance policies.

Cages and FittingsCages and fittings are manufactured in a

variety of materials to match specific well

conditions. Hard-lined and four-piece

insert-guided cages are available.

Balls and SeatsThe quality of balls and seats is the backbone of the sucker

rod pump, as they are constantly in use during the pumping

cycle. That is why we emphasize the importance of API 11AX

certification, as well as the fact that they are

manufactured by experienced personnel with

an average experience level of over 10 years.

Plunger AssembliesPlunger assemblies are available in both spray metal

and soft-pack types. Spray metal types have pin-end plungers

with a hardness of Rc 49-60 and a Thermospray™ hard-surfaced

coating to resist both abrasion and corrosion. Soft pack types

come in a variety of configurations for multiple field conditions.

Cameron’s downhole sucker rod pumps are part of a uniquely

packaged rod lift system and are designed to meet a variety

of well and production requirements. With this system you

get what you expect with any Cameron product or service –

reliability, quality and performance – from both equipment

and personnel.
