1 Introduction

e petroleum industry plays an important role in the con-tinuous development of the national economy e state hasattached great importance to the petroleum industry andissued the 13th five-year plan for oil development in 2016 [1]e process of petroleum exploration mining processing andexploitation are the key activities of the petroleum industry Atpresent the use rod pumping equipment is the main means ofoil recovery among which the pumping unit is one of themainworking parts Among the parameters of the pumping unit thepolished rod load is the most common and most importante polished rod dynamometer card is an image describing thechange in the polished rod load with polished rod displace-ment It not only reflects the downhole working conditions ofthe beam pumping unit [2] but also calculates the balance ofthe pumping unit reducer output shaft torque and motorpower [3 4] At the same time the actual polished rod dy-namometer card can bematchedwith the fault cards which areoften used to diagnose the fault of the oil well [5ndash11]us it isvery meaningful to study the polished rod load

First the approximate formula was used to calculate thepolished rod load of pumping units For example only thegravity of the rod string in the air and the buoyancy of liquidto the rod string were considered e most commonmethod is the API method [12] published by the AmericanPetroleum Institute e results of the method were com-pared with the results measured from 77 wells in the fieldand the results are relatively accurate In 1963 Gibbs [13]introduced the prediction model of the sucker rod pumpingsystem which laid the theoretical foundations for the ac-curate design of sucker rod pumping systems A one-dimensional wave equation with damping was establishedin the prediction model along with the boundary conditionsand initial conditions of the rod and pump e finitedifference method was used to solve the wave equation andthe rod dynamometer card in any section can be drawnaccurately Later Gibbs [14] summarized the methods forthe design and analysis of rod pumping installations andapplied the wave equation to the fault diagnosis of the suckerrod pumping system In 1983 Doty and Schmidt [15]presented a two-dimensional model for predicting the

behavior of sucker rod pumping installations e modelconsidered the dynamics of the fluid and tubing columns aswell as the physical properties of the fluid is provideda new way of analyzing the effects of fluid properties ona sucker rod pumping installation In 1992 Wang et al [16]proposed the three-dimensional vibration of the sucker rodtubing and liquid column in the sucker rod pumpingsystem e results indicated that the new model is animprovement over existing one-dimensional and two-dimensional models

Since the twentieth century studies on polished rod loadhave focused on two aspects e first is a new research objectIn order to reduce the polished rod load Luan et al [17]presented a side-flow pump which offered the possibility ofdeeper setting depth of the pump in oil wells and could be usedin deep well sucker rod pumping Rotaflex is a completelymechanical long-stroke pumping unit For the first timeTakacs [18] conducted a thorough investigation of the kine-matic performance of Rotaflex pumping units and developedexact formulas for the calculation of polished rod positionvelocity acceleration and load According to the demand foroffshore heavy oil thermal recovery and the production ofstripper wells Yu et al [19] designed a newminiature hydraulicpumping unit with long stroke low pumping speed andcompact structure to resolve the problem of limited spacerough the establishment of the mechanical model for rodsthe polished rod load was calculated e smooth operation ofthe prototype verified the practicality and effectiveness of theoverall design scheme and laid the foundations for field testingRecently Liu et al [20ndash22] conducted a series of experimentson a coalbed methane (CBM) well A modern methodologywas proposed for the system design of dynamic behavior toconduct accurate and pertinent analysis of CBM pumpinginstallations rough the establishment of the model thepolished rod load was accurately predicted e second aspectis a new research method Gong et al [23] proposed a pre-dictive algorithm based on a least squares support vectormachine model and applied it to oil pumping wells Li et al[24] established a coupled dynamic model for describing thedynamic performance of the polished rod load of beampumping units e oilfield application showed the effective-ness and accuracy of the new model which could be used topredict operating parameters such as load pump efficiencytorque and balance as well as in-fault diagnosis Feng et al[25] developed a set of rated power calculation methods anda set of matching templates with the intention of improving theefficiency of the prime motor and decreasing the cost of rodpumping e tested data showed that the polished rod loaddecreased substantially Chen et al [26] developed an optimalcontrol approach for predicting the behavior of sucker rodpumping systems e method provided error correction inpredictions and generated accurate polished rod andintermediate-depth work dynagraphs for any bottom-holepump condition in vertical oil wells

In the actual pumping process wear develops between theplunger and pump barrel of the oil pump but previous pre-diction models failed to consider the effects of wear In thevibrationmodel of the rod string the real factors that influencethe downstroke boundary conditions have also increased

erefore a wear model between the plunger and pump barrelis established and the wear mechanism between the plungerand pump barrel is studied e wave equation of the suckerrod string is developed and the upper and downhole boundaryconditions are determined as well as the initial conditionsTaking the clearance between the plunger and pump barrel asa parameter the effects of clearance caused by wear on thepolished rod dynamometer card is analyzed

2 Wear Modeling of Plunger-Pump Barrel

e wear of friction pairs in the plunger-pump barrel willcause the failure of the sucker rod pumping system a processthat involves adhesive wear abrasive wear and corrosionwear Since the system is assembled with clearance betweenthe plunger and pump barrel the presence of crude oil in theclearance between the plunger and pump barrel acts asa lubricant e wear of plunger-pump barrel increases withhigh sand content high water content and incorrect com-bination of the plunger and pump barrel in the oilfieldSpecifically a large amount of sand will enter the wedgeclearance with increasing the sand content and the surfacesof the plunger and pump barrel are vulnerable to wear elubrication performance of oil-water mixtures is greatlyreduced with increasing water content e coefficient offriction between the plunger and pump barrel also increaseswhich accelerates the wear of the plunger When theclearance is too small adhesive wear occurs on the contactsurfaces of the plunger and pump barrel owing to the lack oflubrication In addition corrosion occurs at the contactsurfaces between the plunger and pump barrel in acid alkalisalt and other special medium Bu [27] pointed out that themain component of pump wear was sand erefore thewear type between the plunger and pump barrel is identifiedonly as abrasive wear in this study

In order to facilitate the establishment of the wear modelthe following assumptions are made

(1) It is assumed that wear only occurs on the pumpbarrel instead of the plunger and abrasive

(2) e radial load of abrasive particles from the pumpbarrel is defined as the average value of radial loadson the upstroke and downstroke

(3) e abrasive particle is spherical with a specific di-ameterWhen the clearance between the plunger andpump barrel is larger than the diameter of theabrasive particle the abrasive particle falling into thepump will not cause wear on the barrel Largerabrasive particles continue to wear on the pumpbarrel and the wear process will continue the wearlimit is reached

It is assumed that the diameter of the first abrasiveparticle is D1 the diameter of the second one is D2 and thediameter of the nth one is Dn erefore

D1 minus δ1 D2 minusD1 Dn minusDnminus1 δ (1)

where δ1 is the initial fit clearance of the plunger and pumpbarrel δ is the radial wear depth of the abrasive particle andδ 10minus2δ1

2 Shock and Vibration

Taking a single abrasive particle as the object ofstudy mechanical analysis of the abrasive particle wascarried out during the upstroke and downstroke whichare shown in Figures 1 and 2 Based on the mechanicalanalysis the mechanical models of the abrasive particle areestablished

In Figures 1 and 2 NBu and NBd are the radial forces ofthe pump barrel Npu and Npd are the support forces of theplunger FBu and FBd are the friction of the pump barrel andFPu and FPd are the friction of the plunger on the upstrokeand downstroke G is the gravity of the abrasive particle andθ is the angle between the plumb line and chamfer surface ofthe plunger Combined with the forces acting on the abrasiveparticle in Figures 1 and 2 the following equations can beobtained

On the upstroke

NBu minusNPu cos θ + FPu sin θ 0

NPu sin θ + FPu cos θminusFBu minusG 0(2)

On the downstroke

NBd minusNPd cos θminusFPd sin θ 0

NPd sin θ + FPd cos θminusFBd minusG 0(3)

In Equations (2) and (3) the friction force is equal to thepressure multiplied by the friction coefficient is meansthat FBu μmiddotNBu FBd μmiddotNBd FPu μmiddotNPu and FPd μmiddotNPdwhere μ is the friction coefficient It is obvious that NBu andNBd can be determined by simplifying Equations (2) and (3)

Based on the energy wear theory [28] the computationalmodel for determining the wear volume of the pump barrelunder the action of the i-th abrasive particle is established asfollows

Vi Q

HPiLi (4)

whereQ is the coefficient of wearH is the Brinell hardness ofpump barrel material Li is the friction distance of the i-thabrasive particle to the pump barrel and Pi is the radial forceof the i-th abrasive particle to the pump barrel

According to the model assumptions the radial force ofthe i-th abrasive particle to the pump barrel is calculated bythe following formula

Pi NBu(i) + NBd(i)

2 (5)

whereNBu(i) andNBd(i) are the values ofNBu andNBd at the i-th abrasive particle

In Equation (4) Q and H are known in the calculationprocess In order to study Li the wear volume Vi should becalculated first According to the actual wear condition ofthe pump barrel the geometric model of abrasive wearbetween plunger and pump barrel is established as shownin Figure 3

As can be seen in Figure 3 the area of the AECD is thewear area of the abrasive particle and pump barrel e keyto calculating the wear volume is to acquire the area of theAECD According to the geometric relationship the area

of AECD can be obtained as shown in the followingequation

SAECD SO1ADCminus SO1AEC SO1ADCminus SO1ABCminus SABEC

SO1ADCminus SO1ABCminus SOAEC + SOABC(6)

where S denotes the areaFor the i-th abrasive particle O1ADC and OAEC are

sectors while O1ABC and OABC are triangles According tothe corresponding area calculation formula the areas ofO1ADC OAEC O1ABC and OABC are calculated UsingEquation (6) the wear area of the i-th abrasive particle Si canbe obtained As the pump is a reciprocating mechanism thewear volume of the pump barrel is equal to the wear areamultiplied by the pump strokeat isVi smiddotSi where s is thepump stroke

In Equation (4) Li is a function of time which is writtenas

32 Upper Boundary Condition In order to solve the waveequation of the sucker rod the upper boundary conditionneeds to be given first In fact the upper boundary con-dition is the upper endpoint movement of the sucker rodwhich is the same as the displacement of the polished rodat is

where u(0t) is the value of u(xt) at x 0 and U0 is thepolished rod displacement

e displacement of the polished rod was obtainedby studying the motion law of the pumping unit Inone pumping process the rotation of the crank leadsthe movement of the walking beam which drives horsehead moving from the down-fixed point to the up-fixedpoint and then moving to the down-fixed point Figure 5is a sketch of the mechanism of the conventional beampumping unit It can be seen that ψ is the angle betweenC and K where C is the back-arm length of the beam andK is the distance between the support center of the beamand the output shaft center of the gear reducer When thehorse head is at the down-fixed point the angle ψ is definedas ψb When the horse head is at the up-fixed point theangle ψ is defined as ψt According to the triangle cosinetheorem these two angles can be obtained

where μ is the dynamic viscosity of the well liquid and Lp Rpand Rb are the plunger length plunger radius and barrelrespectively

In actual production when the oil pump is in differentstages the values of α β and p(t) are different By judgingthe opening and closing of the standing valve and travelingvalve in the oil pump the values of α β and p(t) are de-termined and the downhole boundary conditions of thesucker rod pumping system are calculated

34 Initial Conditions When solving Equation (8) theinitial condition must first be given As the vibration of thesucker rod string is forced vibration with damping it canassume any initial condition In order to facilitate thesimulation of downhole boundary conditions the followinginitial conditions can be adopted Assuming that the electricmotor starts at t 0 the polished rod is at the down-fixedpoint At t 0 the whole sucker rod string is at the stationarystate which means that

u(x 0) 0

uprime(x 0) 0(14)

where u(x 0) is the value of u(x t) at t 0 and uprime(x 0) is thepartial derivative value of u(x t) to t at t 0

4 The Establishment of a MixedDifference Scheme

In this study the finite difference method was used toapproximate Equation (8) e calculation process of ex-plicit difference is simple but the convergence condition isstrong For the purpose of overcoming the limitations ofthe convergence condition and speed using the explicitdifference format the implicit difference format waschosen to approximate Equation (8) Owing to the complexand changeable underground structure a multistage rodwas used for oil recovery When an equal step difference isused to establish a difference scheme for the multistage rodthe density elastic modulus etc need to be homogenizedfirst As the ratios of various types of sucker rods areuncertain the accuracy of the calculation is difficult toguarantee In order to overcome the above shortcomingsthe multistage rod is considered as multiple homogeneousrods A three-storey implicit difference format was adoptedfor the homogeneous rod and variable step-length dif-ference was adopted between different adjacent homoge-neous rods

41 Difference Scheme of Homogeneous Rod In the homo-geneous rod Δx is selected as the node of equal step alongthe axial direction of the sucker rod en the sucker rod isdivided into m units and i is the subscript notation i 1 2 m Δt was selected as the node of equal step along thetime direction and j is the subscript notation j 1 2 nus uij represents the i node displacement of the rod stringat j time

5 Instance Calculation and Analysis

In order to investigate the true wear condition between theplunger and pump barrel an example is given e sim-ulation parameters are listed in Table 1 By substituting theparameters in Table 1 in Equation (6) the wear area ofa single abrasive is calculated and then the wear volume ofa single abrasive can be obtained as shown in Figure 8

Figure 8 shows the variation of wear volume withabrasive diameter In Figure 8 the wear volume of eachabrasive increases with the increase in abrasive diameterFurther observation of the wear volume curve in Figure 8shows that the slope of the wear volume curve increases withthe increase in abrasive diameter is indicates that thewear volume rate increases with the abrasive diameter

Taking the calculated wear volume into Equation (4) theabrasive wear distance Li can be obtained Using Equation(7) the wear time of a single abrasive particle is achieved asshown in Figure 9

Figure 9 describes the change curves of wear time withparticle diameter under different θ where θ is the anglebetween the plumb line and chamfer surface of the plungerFrom Figure 9 it is found that the wear times of threedifferent θ always increase with the increase in abrasivediameter Further observation of Figure 9 shows that theslope of the wear time curve decreases with the increase inabrasive diameter which indicates that the rate of increase ofwear time decreases with the increase in abrasive diameterComparison of the three curves shows that the increase of θextends the wear time of each abrasive

With the increase in wear time the increase in weardepth affects the change of clearance of the plunger andpump barrel To further discuss the influence of wear onthe sucker rod pumping system the clearance of theplunger and pump barrel was selected as a parameterie δ Well L2111 in the Liao He Oilfield was selected for

the experiments Tables 2 and 3 list the relevant param-eters of the pumping unit sucker rod oil pump andtubing respectively In Table 2 A represents beam frontarm length C represents beam rear arm length P rep-resents the length of pitman arm G represents the heightfrom the center of the speed reducer output shaft Hrepresents the height from beam support center to thebottom of the pedestal I represents the horizontal dis-tance between beam support center and the center of thespeed reducer output shaft and R represents the radius ofthe crank

According to the parameter data of the pump unit inTable 2 the polished rod displacement curve can be achievedby solving Equation (11) as shown in Figure 10 By de-termining the surface boundary conditions of the polishedrod displacement the wave equation can be solved and thepolished rod load of sucker rod pumping system can beobtained

Figure 11 describes the variation trend of polished rodload with δ in well L2111 where δ is the clearance of theplunger and pump barrel To better illustrate the effect ofwear on the system three different values of δ were con-sidered It can be seen that δ influences the polished rodload Comparison of the three curves in Figure 11 showsthat there is an obvious decrease in polished rod load withthe increase of δ on the upstroke is is because withincreasing pumping time the wear depth between theplunger and pump barrel increases e increase of δ willlead to an increase in leakage between the plunger andpump barrel which will reduce lifting oil production andpolished rod load At the same time with the increase of δthe influence of δ on load gradually decreases On thedownstroke the influence of δ changes on the polished rodload is very small is is because the traveling valve isopen and oil is flowing in the pump No liquid columnloading was found on the plunger In the whole pumpingprocess the changes in δ caused by wear between theplunger and pump barrel will affect the change in polishedrod dynamometer cards of the sucker rod pumping systemwhich cannot be ignored

difference format was adopted between adjacentdifferent homogeneous rods Finally the waveequation was solved by the mixed finite differencemethod

(3) In order to discuss the influence of wear on thepolished rod dynamometer card a well from theLiao He Oilfield was used for the experiment e

polished rod dynamometer card shows that the in-crease in clearance between the plunger and pumpbarrel leads to a decrease in polished rod load onupstroke In view of the influence of clearance on thepolished rod dynamometer card it is meaningful tostudy the sucker rod pumping system by consideringthe wear between the plunger and pump barrel

behavior of sucker rod pumping installations e modelconsidered the dynamics of the fluid and tubing columns aswell as the physical properties of the fluid is provideda new way of analyzing the effects of fluid properties ona sucker rod pumping installation In 1992 Wang et al [16]proposed the three-dimensional vibration of the sucker rodtubing and liquid column in the sucker rod pumpingsystem e results indicated that the new model is animprovement over existing one-dimensional and two-dimensional models

Since the twentieth century studies on polished rod loadhave focused on two aspects e first is a new research objectIn order to reduce the polished rod load Luan et al [17]presented a side-flow pump which offered the possibility ofdeeper setting depth of the pump in oil wells and could be usedin deep well sucker rod pumping Rotaflex is a completelymechanical long-stroke pumping unit For the first timeTakacs [18] conducted a thorough investigation of the kine-matic performance of Rotaflex pumping units and developedexact formulas for the calculation of polished rod positionvelocity acceleration and load According to the demand foroffshore heavy oil thermal recovery and the production ofstripper wells Yu et al [19] designed a newminiature hydraulicpumping unit with long stroke low pumping speed andcompact structure to resolve the problem of limited spacerough the establishment of the mechanical model for rodsthe polished rod load was calculated e smooth operation ofthe prototype verified the practicality and effectiveness of theoverall design scheme and laid the foundations for field testingRecently Liu et al [20ndash22] conducted a series of experimentson a coalbed methane (CBM) well A modern methodologywas proposed for the system design of dynamic behavior toconduct accurate and pertinent analysis of CBM pumpinginstallations rough the establishment of the model thepolished rod load was accurately predicted e second aspectis a new research method Gong et al [23] proposed a pre-dictive algorithm based on a least squares support vectormachine model and applied it to oil pumping wells Li et al[24] established a coupled dynamic model for describing thedynamic performance of the polished rod load of beampumping units e oilfield application showed the effective-ness and accuracy of the new model which could be used topredict operating parameters such as load pump efficiencytorque and balance as well as in-fault diagnosis Feng et al[25] developed a set of rated power calculation methods anda set of matching templates with the intention of improving theefficiency of the prime motor and decreasing the cost of rodpumping e tested data showed that the polished rod loaddecreased substantially Chen et al [26] developed an optimalcontrol approach for predicting the behavior of sucker rodpumping systems e method provided error correction inpredictions and generated accurate polished rod andintermediate-depth work dynagraphs for any bottom-holepump condition in vertical oil wells

In the actual pumping process wear develops between theplunger and pump barrel of the oil pump but previous pre-diction models failed to consider the effects of wear In thevibrationmodel of the rod string the real factors that influencethe downstroke boundary conditions have also increased

erefore a wear model between the plunger and pump barrelis established and the wear mechanism between the plungerand pump barrel is studied e wave equation of the suckerrod string is developed and the upper and downhole boundaryconditions are determined as well as the initial conditionsTaking the clearance between the plunger and pump barrel asa parameter the effects of clearance caused by wear on thepolished rod dynamometer card is analyzed

2 Wear Modeling of Plunger-Pump Barrel

e wear of friction pairs in the plunger-pump barrel willcause the failure of the sucker rod pumping system a processthat involves adhesive wear abrasive wear and corrosionwear Since the system is assembled with clearance betweenthe plunger and pump barrel the presence of crude oil in theclearance between the plunger and pump barrel acts asa lubricant e wear of plunger-pump barrel increases withhigh sand content high water content and incorrect com-bination of the plunger and pump barrel in the oilfieldSpecifically a large amount of sand will enter the wedgeclearance with increasing the sand content and the surfacesof the plunger and pump barrel are vulnerable to wear elubrication performance of oil-water mixtures is greatlyreduced with increasing water content e coefficient offriction between the plunger and pump barrel also increaseswhich accelerates the wear of the plunger When theclearance is too small adhesive wear occurs on the contactsurfaces of the plunger and pump barrel owing to the lack oflubrication In addition corrosion occurs at the contactsurfaces between the plunger and pump barrel in acid alkalisalt and other special medium Bu [27] pointed out that themain component of pump wear was sand erefore thewear type between the plunger and pump barrel is identifiedonly as abrasive wear in this study

In order to facilitate the establishment of the wear modelthe following assumptions are made

(1) It is assumed that wear only occurs on the pumpbarrel instead of the plunger and abrasive

(2) e radial load of abrasive particles from the pumpbarrel is defined as the average value of radial loadson the upstroke and downstroke

(3) e abrasive particle is spherical with a specific di-ameterWhen the clearance between the plunger andpump barrel is larger than the diameter of theabrasive particle the abrasive particle falling into thepump will not cause wear on the barrel Largerabrasive particles continue to wear on the pumpbarrel and the wear process will continue the wearlimit is reached

It is assumed that the diameter of the first abrasiveparticle is D1 the diameter of the second one is D2 and thediameter of the nth one is Dn erefore

D1 minus δ1 D2 minusD1 Dn minusDnminus1 δ (1)

where δ1 is the initial fit clearance of the plunger and pumpbarrel δ is the radial wear depth of the abrasive particle andδ 10minus2δ1

2 Shock and Vibration

Taking a single abrasive particle as the object ofstudy mechanical analysis of the abrasive particle wascarried out during the upstroke and downstroke whichare shown in Figures 1 and 2 Based on the mechanicalanalysis the mechanical models of the abrasive particle areestablished

In Figures 1 and 2 NBu and NBd are the radial forces ofthe pump barrel Npu and Npd are the support forces of theplunger FBu and FBd are the friction of the pump barrel andFPu and FPd are the friction of the plunger on the upstrokeand downstroke G is the gravity of the abrasive particle andθ is the angle between the plumb line and chamfer surface ofthe plunger Combined with the forces acting on the abrasiveparticle in Figures 1 and 2 the following equations can beobtained

On the upstroke

NBu minusNPu cos θ + FPu sin θ 0

NPu sin θ + FPu cos θminusFBu minusG 0(2)

On the downstroke

NBd minusNPd cos θminusFPd sin θ 0

NPd sin θ + FPd cos θminusFBd minusG 0(3)

In Equations (2) and (3) the friction force is equal to thepressure multiplied by the friction coefficient is meansthat FBu μmiddotNBu FBd μmiddotNBd FPu μmiddotNPu and FPd μmiddotNPdwhere μ is the friction coefficient It is obvious that NBu andNBd can be determined by simplifying Equations (2) and (3)

Based on the energy wear theory [28] the computationalmodel for determining the wear volume of the pump barrelunder the action of the i-th abrasive particle is established asfollows

Vi Q

HPiLi (4)

whereQ is the coefficient of wearH is the Brinell hardness ofpump barrel material Li is the friction distance of the i-thabrasive particle to the pump barrel and Pi is the radial forceof the i-th abrasive particle to the pump barrel

According to the model assumptions the radial force ofthe i-th abrasive particle to the pump barrel is calculated bythe following formula

Pi NBu(i) + NBd(i)

2 (5)

whereNBu(i) andNBd(i) are the values ofNBu andNBd at the i-th abrasive particle

In Equation (4) Q and H are known in the calculationprocess In order to study Li the wear volume Vi should becalculated first According to the actual wear condition ofthe pump barrel the geometric model of abrasive wearbetween plunger and pump barrel is established as shownin Figure 3

As can be seen in Figure 3 the area of the AECD is thewear area of the abrasive particle and pump barrel e keyto calculating the wear volume is to acquire the area of theAECD According to the geometric relationship the area

of AECD can be obtained as shown in the followingequation

SAECD SO1ADCminus SO1AEC SO1ADCminus SO1ABCminus SABEC

SO1ADCminus SO1ABCminus SOAEC + SOABC(6)

where S denotes the areaFor the i-th abrasive particle O1ADC and OAEC are

sectors while O1ABC and OABC are triangles According tothe corresponding area calculation formula the areas ofO1ADC OAEC O1ABC and OABC are calculated UsingEquation (6) the wear area of the i-th abrasive particle Si canbe obtained As the pump is a reciprocating mechanism thewear volume of the pump barrel is equal to the wear areamultiplied by the pump strokeat isVi smiddotSi where s is thepump stroke

In Equation (4) Li is a function of time which is writtenas

32 Upper Boundary Condition In order to solve the waveequation of the sucker rod the upper boundary conditionneeds to be given first In fact the upper boundary con-dition is the upper endpoint movement of the sucker rodwhich is the same as the displacement of the polished rodat is

u(0 t) U0 (9)

where u(0t) is the value of u(xt) at x 0 and U0 is thepolished rod displacement

e displacement of the polished rod was obtainedby studying the motion law of the pumping unit Inone pumping process the rotation of the crank leadsthe movement of the walking beam which drives horsehead moving from the down-fixed point to the up-fixedpoint and then moving to the down-fixed point Figure 5is a sketch of the mechanism of the conventional beampumping unit It can be seen that ψ is the angle betweenC and K where C is the back-arm length of the beam andK is the distance between the support center of the beamand the output shaft center of the gear reducer When thehorse head is at the down-fixed point the angle ψ is definedas ψb When the horse head is at the up-fixed point theangle ψ is defined as ψt According to the triangle cosinetheorem these two angles can be obtained

where s is the polished rod stroke After determining the typeof the pumping unit the geometric parameters of thepumping unit are obtained Substituting the values of ψt andψb calculated by geometric parameters in Equation (11) thepolished rod displacement of the pumping unit is obtained

33 Downhole Boundary Conditions e downholeboundary conditions refer to the relationship between theload acting on the plunger and plunger displacement edownhole boundary conditions [29] can be written asfollows

In Equation (12) the second term represents the liquidload acting on the plunger on upstroke e third termrepresents the liquid inertial load acting on the upper part ofthe plunger on upstroke When the plunger is in the ac-celeration section of upstroke c is the liquid mass on theupper part of the plunger When the plunger is in the de-celeration section of upstroke or downstroke c is equal tozero e fourth term represents the frictional force betweenthe plunger and pump barrel e κ in the formula is de-termined by the following expression

κ 2πμLp lnRp

Rb1113888 1113889 (13)

where μ is the dynamic viscosity of the well liquid and Lp Rpand Rb are the plunger length plunger radius and barrelrespectively

In actual production when the oil pump is in differentstages the values of α β and p(t) are different By judgingthe opening and closing of the standing valve and travelingvalve in the oil pump the values of α β and p(t) are de-termined and the downhole boundary conditions of thesucker rod pumping system are calculated

34 Initial Conditions When solving Equation (8) theinitial condition must first be given As the vibration of thesucker rod string is forced vibration with damping it canassume any initial condition In order to facilitate thesimulation of downhole boundary conditions the followinginitial conditions can be adopted Assuming that the electricmotor starts at t 0 the polished rod is at the down-fixedpoint At t 0 the whole sucker rod string is at the stationarystate which means that

u(x 0) 0

uprime(x 0) 0(14)

where u(x 0) is the value of u(x t) at t 0 and uprime(x 0) is thepartial derivative value of u(x t) to t at t 0

4 The Establishment of a MixedDifference Scheme

In this study the finite difference method was used toapproximate Equation (8) e calculation process of ex-plicit difference is simple but the convergence condition isstrong For the purpose of overcoming the limitations ofthe convergence condition and speed using the explicitdifference format the implicit difference format waschosen to approximate Equation (8) Owing to the complexand changeable underground structure a multistage rodwas used for oil recovery When an equal step difference isused to establish a difference scheme for the multistage rodthe density elastic modulus etc need to be homogenizedfirst As the ratios of various types of sucker rods areuncertain the accuracy of the calculation is difficult toguarantee In order to overcome the above shortcomingsthe multistage rod is considered as multiple homogeneousrods A three-storey implicit difference format was adoptedfor the homogeneous rod and variable step-length dif-ference was adopted between different adjacent homoge-neous rods

41 Difference Scheme of Homogeneous Rod In the homo-geneous rod Δx is selected as the node of equal step alongthe axial direction of the sucker rod en the sucker rod isdivided into m units and i is the subscript notation i 1 2 m Δt was selected as the node of equal step along thetime direction and j is the subscript notation j 1 2 nus uij represents the i node displacement of the rod stringat j time

In the node (i j) central difference quotient formulaswere selected to approximate zuzt and z2uzt2 whichmeans that

5 Instance Calculation and Analysis

In order to investigate the true wear condition between theplunger and pump barrel an example is given e sim-ulation parameters are listed in Table 1 By substituting theparameters in Table 1 in Equation (6) the wear area ofa single abrasive is calculated and then the wear volume ofa single abrasive can be obtained as shown in Figure 8

Figure 8 shows the variation of wear volume withabrasive diameter In Figure 8 the wear volume of eachabrasive increases with the increase in abrasive diameterFurther observation of the wear volume curve in Figure 8shows that the slope of the wear volume curve increases withthe increase in abrasive diameter is indicates that thewear volume rate increases with the abrasive diameter

Taking the calculated wear volume into Equation (4) theabrasive wear distance Li can be obtained Using Equation(7) the wear time of a single abrasive particle is achieved asshown in Figure 9

Figure 9 describes the change curves of wear time withparticle diameter under different θ where θ is the anglebetween the plumb line and chamfer surface of the plungerFrom Figure 9 it is found that the wear times of threedifferent θ always increase with the increase in abrasivediameter Further observation of Figure 9 shows that theslope of the wear time curve decreases with the increase inabrasive diameter which indicates that the rate of increase ofwear time decreases with the increase in abrasive diameterComparison of the three curves shows that the increase of θextends the wear time of each abrasive

With the increase in wear time the increase in weardepth affects the change of clearance of the plunger andpump barrel To further discuss the influence of wear onthe sucker rod pumping system the clearance of theplunger and pump barrel was selected as a parameterie δ Well L2111 in the Liao He Oilfield was selected for

the experiments Tables 2 and 3 list the relevant param-eters of the pumping unit sucker rod oil pump andtubing respectively In Table 2 A represents beam frontarm length C represents beam rear arm length P rep-resents the length of pitman arm G represents the heightfrom the center of the speed reducer output shaft Hrepresents the height from beam support center to thebottom of the pedestal I represents the horizontal dis-tance between beam support center and the center of thespeed reducer output shaft and R represents the radius ofthe crank

According to the parameter data of the pump unit inTable 2 the polished rod displacement curve can be achievedby solving Equation (11) as shown in Figure 10 By de-termining the surface boundary conditions of the polishedrod displacement the wave equation can be solved and thepolished rod load of sucker rod pumping system can beobtained

Figure 11 describes the variation trend of polished rodload with δ in well L2111 where δ is the clearance of theplunger and pump barrel To better illustrate the effect ofwear on the system three different values of δ were con-sidered It can be seen that δ influences the polished rodload Comparison of the three curves in Figure 11 showsthat there is an obvious decrease in polished rod load withthe increase of δ on the upstroke is is because withincreasing pumping time the wear depth between theplunger and pump barrel increases e increase of δ willlead to an increase in leakage between the plunger andpump barrel which will reduce lifting oil production andpolished rod load At the same time with the increase of δthe influence of δ on load gradually decreases On thedownstroke the influence of δ changes on the polished rodload is very small is is because the traveling valve isopen and oil is flowing in the pump No liquid columnloading was found on the plunger In the whole pumpingprocess the changes in δ caused by wear between theplunger and pump barrel will affect the change in polishedrod dynamometer cards of the sucker rod pumping systemwhich cannot be ignored

6 Conclusion

(1) In order to study the influence of wear between theplunger and pump barrel of the oil pump on thepolished rod dynamometer card the wear model ofthe plunger-pump barrel was established On thebasis of considering abrasive wear the forces on theabrasive particle were analyzed By calculating thewear area of abrasive particles the change curves ofwear volume and wear time versus abrasive particlediameter were obtained

(2) e wave equation of the sucker rod string froma previous study was selected and the upperboundary condition downhole boundary conditionand initial condition were determined A three-storey implicit difference format was applied tothe homogeneous rod while the variable step-length

difference format was adopted between adjacentdifferent homogeneous rods Finally the waveequation was solved by the mixed finite differencemethod

(3) In order to discuss the influence of wear on thepolished rod dynamometer card a well from theLiao He Oilfield was used for the experiment e

polished rod dynamometer card shows that the in-crease in clearance between the plunger and pumpbarrel leads to a decrease in polished rod load onupstroke In view of the influence of clearance on thepolished rod dynamometer card it is meaningful tostudy the sucker rod pumping system by consideringthe wear between the plunger and pump barrel

Taking a single abrasive particle as the object ofstudy mechanical analysis of the abrasive particle wascarried out during the upstroke and downstroke whichare shown in Figures 1 and 2 Based on the mechanicalanalysis the mechanical models of the abrasive particle areestablished

In Figures 1 and 2 NBu and NBd are the radial forces ofthe pump barrel Npu and Npd are the support forces of theplunger FBu and FBd are the friction of the pump barrel andFPu and FPd are the friction of the plunger on the upstrokeand downstroke G is the gravity of the abrasive particle andθ is the angle between the plumb line and chamfer surface ofthe plunger Combined with the forces acting on the abrasiveparticle in Figures 1 and 2 the following equations can beobtained

On the upstroke

NBu minusNPu cos θ + FPu sin θ 0

NPu sin θ + FPu cos θminusFBu minusG 0(2)

On the downstroke

NBd minusNPd cos θminusFPd sin θ 0

NPd sin θ + FPd cos θminusFBd minusG 0(3)

In Equations (2) and (3) the friction force is equal to thepressure multiplied by the friction coefficient is meansthat FBu μmiddotNBu FBd μmiddotNBd FPu μmiddotNPu and FPd μmiddotNPdwhere μ is the friction coefficient It is obvious that NBu andNBd can be determined by simplifying Equations (2) and (3)

Based on the energy wear theory [28] the computationalmodel for determining the wear volume of the pump barrelunder the action of the i-th abrasive particle is established asfollows

Vi Q

HPiLi (4)

whereQ is the coefficient of wearH is the Brinell hardness ofpump barrel material Li is the friction distance of the i-thabrasive particle to the pump barrel and Pi is the radial forceof the i-th abrasive particle to the pump barrel

According to the model assumptions the radial force ofthe i-th abrasive particle to the pump barrel is calculated bythe following formula

Pi NBu(i) + NBd(i)

2 (5)

whereNBu(i) andNBd(i) are the values ofNBu andNBd at the i-th abrasive particle

In Equation (4) Q and H are known in the calculationprocess In order to study Li the wear volume Vi should becalculated first According to the actual wear condition ofthe pump barrel the geometric model of abrasive wearbetween plunger and pump barrel is established as shownin Figure 3

As can be seen in Figure 3 the area of the AECD is thewear area of the abrasive particle and pump barrel e keyto calculating the wear volume is to acquire the area of theAECD According to the geometric relationship the area

of AECD can be obtained as shown in the followingequation

SAECD SO1ADCminus SO1AEC SO1ADCminus SO1ABCminus SABEC

SO1ADCminus SO1ABCminus SOAEC + SOABC(6)

where S denotes the areaFor the i-th abrasive particle O1ADC and OAEC are

sectors while O1ABC and OABC are triangles According tothe corresponding area calculation formula the areas ofO1ADC OAEC O1ABC and OABC are calculated UsingEquation (6) the wear area of the i-th abrasive particle Si canbe obtained As the pump is a reciprocating mechanism thewear volume of the pump barrel is equal to the wear areamultiplied by the pump strokeat isVi smiddotSi where s is thepump stroke

In Equation (4) Li is a function of time which is writtenas

32 Upper Boundary Condition In order to solve the waveequation of the sucker rod the upper boundary conditionneeds to be given first In fact the upper boundary con-dition is the upper endpoint movement of the sucker rodwhich is the same as the displacement of the polished rodat is

where u(0t) is the value of u(xt) at x 0 and U0 is thepolished rod displacement

e displacement of the polished rod was obtainedby studying the motion law of the pumping unit Inone pumping process the rotation of the crank leadsthe movement of the walking beam which drives horsehead moving from the down-fixed point to the up-fixedpoint and then moving to the down-fixed point Figure 5is a sketch of the mechanism of the conventional beampumping unit It can be seen that ψ is the angle betweenC and K where C is the back-arm length of the beam andK is the distance between the support center of the beamand the output shaft center of the gear reducer When thehorse head is at the down-fixed point the angle ψ is definedas ψb When the horse head is at the up-fixed point theangle ψ is defined as ψt According to the triangle cosinetheorem these two angles can be obtained

where μ is the dynamic viscosity of the well liquid and Lp Rpand Rb are the plunger length plunger radius and barrelrespectively

In actual production when the oil pump is in differentstages the values of α β and p(t) are different By judgingthe opening and closing of the standing valve and travelingvalve in the oil pump the values of α β and p(t) are de-termined and the downhole boundary conditions of thesucker rod pumping system are calculated

34 Initial Conditions When solving Equation (8) theinitial condition must first be given As the vibration of thesucker rod string is forced vibration with damping it canassume any initial condition In order to facilitate thesimulation of downhole boundary conditions the followinginitial conditions can be adopted Assuming that the electricmotor starts at t 0 the polished rod is at the down-fixedpoint At t 0 the whole sucker rod string is at the stationarystate which means that

In this study the finite difference method was used toapproximate Equation (8) e calculation process of ex-plicit difference is simple but the convergence condition isstrong For the purpose of overcoming the limitations ofthe convergence condition and speed using the explicitdifference format the implicit difference format waschosen to approximate Equation (8) Owing to the complexand changeable underground structure a multistage rodwas used for oil recovery When an equal step difference isused to establish a difference scheme for the multistage rodthe density elastic modulus etc need to be homogenizedfirst As the ratios of various types of sucker rods areuncertain the accuracy of the calculation is difficult toguarantee In order to overcome the above shortcomingsthe multistage rod is considered as multiple homogeneousrods A three-storey implicit difference format was adoptedfor the homogeneous rod and variable step-length dif-ference was adopted between different adjacent homoge-neous rods

41 Difference Scheme of Homogeneous Rod In the homo-geneous rod Δx is selected as the node of equal step alongthe axial direction of the sucker rod en the sucker rod isdivided into m units and i is the subscript notation i 1 2 m Δt was selected as the node of equal step along thetime direction and j is the subscript notation j 1 2 nus uij represents the i node displacement of the rod stringat j time

In the node (i j) central difference quotient formulaswere selected to approximate zuzt and z2uzt2 whichmeans that

5 Instance Calculation and Analysis

In order to investigate the true wear condition between theplunger and pump barrel an example is given e sim-ulation parameters are listed in Table 1 By substituting theparameters in Table 1 in Equation (6) the wear area ofa single abrasive is calculated and then the wear volume ofa single abrasive can be obtained as shown in Figure 8

Figure 8 shows the variation of wear volume withabrasive diameter In Figure 8 the wear volume of eachabrasive increases with the increase in abrasive diameterFurther observation of the wear volume curve in Figure 8shows that the slope of the wear volume curve increases withthe increase in abrasive diameter is indicates that thewear volume rate increases with the abrasive diameter

Taking the calculated wear volume into Equation (4) theabrasive wear distance Li can be obtained Using Equation(7) the wear time of a single abrasive particle is achieved asshown in Figure 9

Figure 9 describes the change curves of wear time withparticle diameter under different θ where θ is the anglebetween the plumb line and chamfer surface of the plungerFrom Figure 9 it is found that the wear times of threedifferent θ always increase with the increase in abrasivediameter Further observation of Figure 9 shows that theslope of the wear time curve decreases with the increase inabrasive diameter which indicates that the rate of increase ofwear time decreases with the increase in abrasive diameterComparison of the three curves shows that the increase of θextends the wear time of each abrasive

With the increase in wear time the increase in weardepth affects the change of clearance of the plunger andpump barrel To further discuss the influence of wear onthe sucker rod pumping system the clearance of theplunger and pump barrel was selected as a parameterie δ Well L2111 in the Liao He Oilfield was selected for

the experiments Tables 2 and 3 list the relevant param-eters of the pumping unit sucker rod oil pump andtubing respectively In Table 2 A represents beam frontarm length C represents beam rear arm length P rep-resents the length of pitman arm G represents the heightfrom the center of the speed reducer output shaft Hrepresents the height from beam support center to thebottom of the pedestal I represents the horizontal dis-tance between beam support center and the center of thespeed reducer output shaft and R represents the radius ofthe crank

According to the parameter data of the pump unit inTable 2 the polished rod displacement curve can be achievedby solving Equation (11) as shown in Figure 10 By de-termining the surface boundary conditions of the polishedrod displacement the wave equation can be solved and thepolished rod load of sucker rod pumping system can beobtained

Figure 11 describes the variation trend of polished rodload with δ in well L2111 where δ is the clearance of theplunger and pump barrel To better illustrate the effect ofwear on the system three different values of δ were con-sidered It can be seen that δ influences the polished rodload Comparison of the three curves in Figure 11 showsthat there is an obvious decrease in polished rod load withthe increase of δ on the upstroke is is because withincreasing pumping time the wear depth between theplunger and pump barrel increases e increase of δ willlead to an increase in leakage between the plunger andpump barrel which will reduce lifting oil production andpolished rod load At the same time with the increase of δthe influence of δ on load gradually decreases On thedownstroke the influence of δ changes on the polished rodload is very small is is because the traveling valve isopen and oil is flowing in the pump No liquid columnloading was found on the plunger In the whole pumpingprocess the changes in δ caused by wear between theplunger and pump barrel will affect the change in polishedrod dynamometer cards of the sucker rod pumping systemwhich cannot be ignored

6 Conclusion

(1) In order to study the influence of wear between theplunger and pump barrel of the oil pump on thepolished rod dynamometer card the wear model ofthe plunger-pump barrel was established On thebasis of considering abrasive wear the forces on theabrasive particle were analyzed By calculating thewear area of abrasive particles the change curves ofwear volume and wear time versus abrasive particlediameter were obtained

(2) e wave equation of the sucker rod string froma previous study was selected and the upperboundary condition downhole boundary conditionand initial condition were determined A three-storey implicit difference format was applied tothe homogeneous rod while the variable step-length

difference format was adopted between adjacentdifferent homogeneous rods Finally the waveequation was solved by the mixed finite differencemethod

(3) In order to discuss the influence of wear on thepolished rod dynamometer card a well from theLiao He Oilfield was used for the experiment e

polished rod dynamometer card shows that the in-crease in clearance between the plunger and pumpbarrel leads to a decrease in polished rod load onupstroke In view of the influence of clearance on thepolished rod dynamometer card it is meaningful tostudy the sucker rod pumping system by consideringthe wear between the plunger and pump barrel

32 Upper Boundary Condition In order to solve the waveequation of the sucker rod the upper boundary conditionneeds to be given first In fact the upper boundary con-dition is the upper endpoint movement of the sucker rodwhich is the same as the displacement of the polished rodat is

where u(0t) is the value of u(xt) at x 0 and U0 is thepolished rod displacement

In actual production when the oil pump is in differentstages the values of α β and p(t) are different By judgingthe opening and closing of the standing valve and travelingvalve in the oil pump the values of α β and p(t) are de-termined and the downhole boundary conditions of thesucker rod pumping system are calculated

34 Initial Conditions When solving Equation (8) theinitial condition must first be given As the vibration of thesucker rod string is forced vibration with damping it canassume any initial condition In order to facilitate thesimulation of downhole boundary conditions the followinginitial conditions can be adopted Assuming that the electricmotor starts at t 0 the polished rod is at the down-fixedpoint At t 0 the whole sucker rod string is at the stationarystate which means that

5 Instance Calculation and Analysis

In order to investigate the true wear condition between theplunger and pump barrel an example is given e sim-ulation parameters are listed in Table 1 By substituting theparameters in Table 1 in Equation (6) the wear area ofa single abrasive is calculated and then the wear volume ofa single abrasive can be obtained as shown in Figure 8

Figure 8 shows the variation of wear volume withabrasive diameter In Figure 8 the wear volume of eachabrasive increases with the increase in abrasive diameterFurther observation of the wear volume curve in Figure 8shows that the slope of the wear volume curve increases withthe increase in abrasive diameter is indicates that thewear volume rate increases with the abrasive diameter

Taking the calculated wear volume into Equation (4) theabrasive wear distance Li can be obtained Using Equation(7) the wear time of a single abrasive particle is achieved asshown in Figure 9

Figure 9 describes the change curves of wear time withparticle diameter under different θ where θ is the anglebetween the plumb line and chamfer surface of the plungerFrom Figure 9 it is found that the wear times of threedifferent θ always increase with the increase in abrasivediameter Further observation of Figure 9 shows that theslope of the wear time curve decreases with the increase inabrasive diameter which indicates that the rate of increase ofwear time decreases with the increase in abrasive diameterComparison of the three curves shows that the increase of θextends the wear time of each abrasive

With the increase in wear time the increase in weardepth affects the change of clearance of the plunger andpump barrel To further discuss the influence of wear onthe sucker rod pumping system the clearance of theplunger and pump barrel was selected as a parameterie δ Well L2111 in the Liao He Oilfield was selected for

the experiments Tables 2 and 3 list the relevant param-eters of the pumping unit sucker rod oil pump andtubing respectively In Table 2 A represents beam frontarm length C represents beam rear arm length P rep-resents the length of pitman arm G represents the heightfrom the center of the speed reducer output shaft Hrepresents the height from beam support center to thebottom of the pedestal I represents the horizontal dis-tance between beam support center and the center of thespeed reducer output shaft and R represents the radius ofthe crank

According to the parameter data of the pump unit inTable 2 the polished rod displacement curve can be achievedby solving Equation (11) as shown in Figure 10 By de-termining the surface boundary conditions of the polishedrod displacement the wave equation can be solved and thepolished rod load of sucker rod pumping system can beobtained

Figure 11 describes the variation trend of polished rodload with δ in well L2111 where δ is the clearance of theplunger and pump barrel To better illustrate the effect ofwear on the system three different values of δ were con-sidered It can be seen that δ influences the polished rodload Comparison of the three curves in Figure 11 showsthat there is an obvious decrease in polished rod load withthe increase of δ on the upstroke is is because withincreasing pumping time the wear depth between theplunger and pump barrel increases e increase of δ willlead to an increase in leakage between the plunger andpump barrel which will reduce lifting oil production andpolished rod load At the same time with the increase of δthe influence of δ on load gradually decreases On thedownstroke the influence of δ changes on the polished rodload is very small is is because the traveling valve isopen and oil is flowing in the pump No liquid columnloading was found on the plunger In the whole pumpingprocess the changes in δ caused by wear between theplunger and pump barrel will affect the change in polishedrod dynamometer cards of the sucker rod pumping systemwhich cannot be ignored

6 Conclusion

(1) In order to study the influence of wear between theplunger and pump barrel of the oil pump on thepolished rod dynamometer card the wear model ofthe plunger-pump barrel was established On thebasis of considering abrasive wear the forces on theabrasive particle were analyzed By calculating thewear area of abrasive particles the change curves ofwear volume and wear time versus abrasive particlediameter were obtained

(2) e wave equation of the sucker rod string froma previous study was selected and the upperboundary condition downhole boundary conditionand initial condition were determined A three-storey implicit difference format was applied tothe homogeneous rod while the variable step-length

difference format was adopted between adjacentdifferent homogeneous rods Finally the waveequation was solved by the mixed finite differencemethod

(3) In order to discuss the influence of wear on thepolished rod dynamometer card a well from theLiao He Oilfield was used for the experiment e

polished rod dynamometer card shows that the in-crease in clearance between the plunger and pumpbarrel leads to a decrease in polished rod load onupstroke In view of the influence of clearance on thepolished rod dynamometer card it is meaningful tostudy the sucker rod pumping system by consideringthe wear between the plunger and pump barrel

where s is the polished rod stroke After determining the typeof the pumping unit the geometric parameters of thepumping unit are obtained Substituting the values of ψt andψb calculated by geometric parameters in Equation (11) thepolished rod displacement of the pumping unit is obtained

33 Downhole Boundary Conditions e downholeboundary conditions refer to the relationship between theload acting on the plunger and plunger displacement edownhole boundary conditions [29] can be written asfollows

In Equation (12) the second term represents the liquidload acting on the plunger on upstroke e third termrepresents the liquid inertial load acting on the upper part ofthe plunger on upstroke When the plunger is in the ac-celeration section of upstroke c is the liquid mass on theupper part of the plunger When the plunger is in the de-celeration section of upstroke or downstroke c is equal tozero e fourth term represents the frictional force betweenthe plunger and pump barrel e κ in the formula is de-termined by the following expression

κ 2πμLp lnRp

where μ is the dynamic viscosity of the well liquid and Lp Rpand Rb are the plunger length plunger radius and barrelrespectively

In actual production when the oil pump is in differentstages the values of α β and p(t) are different By judgingthe opening and closing of the standing valve and travelingvalve in the oil pump the values of α β and p(t) are de-termined and the downhole boundary conditions of thesucker rod pumping system are calculated

34 Initial Conditions When solving Equation (8) theinitial condition must first be given As the vibration of thesucker rod string is forced vibration with damping it canassume any initial condition In order to facilitate thesimulation of downhole boundary conditions the followinginitial conditions can be adopted Assuming that the electricmotor starts at t 0 the polished rod is at the down-fixedpoint At t 0 the whole sucker rod string is at the stationarystate which means that

u(x 0) 0

uprime(x 0) 0(14)

where u(x 0) is the value of u(x t) at t 0 and uprime(x 0) is thepartial derivative value of u(x t) to t at t 0

4 The Establishment of a MixedDifference Scheme

In this study the finite difference method was used toapproximate Equation (8) e calculation process of ex-plicit difference is simple but the convergence condition isstrong For the purpose of overcoming the limitations ofthe convergence condition and speed using the explicitdifference format the implicit difference format waschosen to approximate Equation (8) Owing to the complexand changeable underground structure a multistage rodwas used for oil recovery When an equal step difference isused to establish a difference scheme for the multistage rodthe density elastic modulus etc need to be homogenizedfirst As the ratios of various types of sucker rods areuncertain the accuracy of the calculation is difficult toguarantee In order to overcome the above shortcomingsthe multistage rod is considered as multiple homogeneousrods A three-storey implicit difference format was adoptedfor the homogeneous rod and variable step-length dif-ference was adopted between different adjacent homoge-neous rods

41 Difference Scheme of Homogeneous Rod In the homo-geneous rod Δx is selected as the node of equal step alongthe axial direction of the sucker rod en the sucker rod isdivided into m units and i is the subscript notation i 1 2 m Δt was selected as the node of equal step along thetime direction and j is the subscript notation j 1 2 nus uij represents the i node displacement of the rod stringat j time

In the node (i j) central difference quotient formulaswere selected to approximate zuzt and z2uzt2 whichmeans that

In order to investigate the true wear condition between theplunger and pump barrel an example is given e sim-ulation parameters are listed in Table 1 By substituting theparameters in Table 1 in Equation (6) the wear area ofa single abrasive is calculated and then the wear volume ofa single abrasive can be obtained as shown in Figure 8

Figure 8 shows the variation of wear volume withabrasive diameter In Figure 8 the wear volume of eachabrasive increases with the increase in abrasive diameterFurther observation of the wear volume curve in Figure 8shows that the slope of the wear volume curve increases withthe increase in abrasive diameter is indicates that thewear volume rate increases with the abrasive diameter

Taking the calculated wear volume into Equation (4) theabrasive wear distance Li can be obtained Using Equation(7) the wear time of a single abrasive particle is achieved asshown in Figure 9

Figure 9 describes the change curves of wear time withparticle diameter under different θ where θ is the anglebetween the plumb line and chamfer surface of the plungerFrom Figure 9 it is found that the wear times of threedifferent θ always increase with the increase in abrasivediameter Further observation of Figure 9 shows that theslope of the wear time curve decreases with the increase inabrasive diameter which indicates that the rate of increase ofwear time decreases with the increase in abrasive diameterComparison of the three curves shows that the increase of θextends the wear time of each abrasive

With the increase in wear time the increase in weardepth affects the change of clearance of the plunger andpump barrel To further discuss the influence of wear onthe sucker rod pumping system the clearance of theplunger and pump barrel was selected as a parameterie δ Well L2111 in the Liao He Oilfield was selected for

the experiments Tables 2 and 3 list the relevant param-eters of the pumping unit sucker rod oil pump andtubing respectively In Table 2 A represents beam frontarm length C represents beam rear arm length P rep-resents the length of pitman arm G represents the heightfrom the center of the speed reducer output shaft Hrepresents the height from beam support center to thebottom of the pedestal I represents the horizontal dis-tance between beam support center and the center of thespeed reducer output shaft and R represents the radius ofthe crank

According to the parameter data of the pump unit inTable 2 the polished rod displacement curve can be achievedby solving Equation (11) as shown in Figure 10 By de-termining the surface boundary conditions of the polishedrod displacement the wave equation can be solved and thepolished rod load of sucker rod pumping system can beobtained

Figure 11 describes the variation trend of polished rodload with δ in well L2111 where δ is the clearance of theplunger and pump barrel To better illustrate the effect ofwear on the system three different values of δ were con-sidered It can be seen that δ influences the polished rodload Comparison of the three curves in Figure 11 showsthat there is an obvious decrease in polished rod load withthe increase of δ on the upstroke is is because withincreasing pumping time the wear depth between theplunger and pump barrel increases e increase of δ willlead to an increase in leakage between the plunger andpump barrel which will reduce lifting oil production andpolished rod load At the same time with the increase of δthe influence of δ on load gradually decreases On thedownstroke the influence of δ changes on the polished rodload is very small is is because the traveling valve isopen and oil is flowing in the pump No liquid columnloading was found on the plunger In the whole pumpingprocess the changes in δ caused by wear between theplunger and pump barrel will affect the change in polishedrod dynamometer cards of the sucker rod pumping systemwhich cannot be ignored

6 Conclusion

5 Instance Calculation and Analysis

In order to investigate the true wear condition between theplunger and pump barrel an example is given e sim-ulation parameters are listed in Table 1 By substituting theparameters in Table 1 in Equation (6) the wear area ofa single abrasive is calculated and then the wear volume ofa single abrasive can be obtained as shown in Figure 8

Figure 8 shows the variation of wear volume withabrasive diameter In Figure 8 the wear volume of eachabrasive increases with the increase in abrasive diameterFurther observation of the wear volume curve in Figure 8shows that the slope of the wear volume curve increases withthe increase in abrasive diameter is indicates that thewear volume rate increases with the abrasive diameter

Taking the calculated wear volume into Equation (4) theabrasive wear distance Li can be obtained Using Equation(7) the wear time of a single abrasive particle is achieved asshown in Figure 9

Figure 9 describes the change curves of wear time withparticle diameter under different θ where θ is the anglebetween the plumb line and chamfer surface of the plungerFrom Figure 9 it is found that the wear times of threedifferent θ always increase with the increase in abrasivediameter Further observation of Figure 9 shows that theslope of the wear time curve decreases with the increase inabrasive diameter which indicates that the rate of increase ofwear time decreases with the increase in abrasive diameterComparison of the three curves shows that the increase of θextends the wear time of each abrasive

With the increase in wear time the increase in weardepth affects the change of clearance of the plunger andpump barrel To further discuss the influence of wear onthe sucker rod pumping system the clearance of theplunger and pump barrel was selected as a parameterie δ Well L2111 in the Liao He Oilfield was selected for

the experiments Tables 2 and 3 list the relevant param-eters of the pumping unit sucker rod oil pump andtubing respectively In Table 2 A represents beam frontarm length C represents beam rear arm length P rep-resents the length of pitman arm G represents the heightfrom the center of the speed reducer output shaft Hrepresents the height from beam support center to thebottom of the pedestal I represents the horizontal dis-tance between beam support center and the center of thespeed reducer output shaft and R represents the radius ofthe crank

According to the parameter data of the pump unit inTable 2 the polished rod displacement curve can be achievedby solving Equation (11) as shown in Figure 10 By de-termining the surface boundary conditions of the polishedrod displacement the wave equation can be solved and thepolished rod load of sucker rod pumping system can beobtained

Figure 11 describes the variation trend of polished rodload with δ in well L2111 where δ is the clearance of theplunger and pump barrel To better illustrate the effect ofwear on the system three different values of δ were con-sidered It can be seen that δ influences the polished rodload Comparison of the three curves in Figure 11 showsthat there is an obvious decrease in polished rod load withthe increase of δ on the upstroke is is because withincreasing pumping time the wear depth between theplunger and pump barrel increases e increase of δ willlead to an increase in leakage between the plunger andpump barrel which will reduce lifting oil production andpolished rod load At the same time with the increase of δthe influence of δ on load gradually decreases On thedownstroke the influence of δ changes on the polished rodload is very small is is because the traveling valve isopen and oil is flowing in the pump No liquid columnloading was found on the plunger In the whole pumpingprocess the changes in δ caused by wear between theplunger and pump barrel will affect the change in polishedrod dynamometer cards of the sucker rod pumping systemwhich cannot be ignored

6 Conclusion

(1) In order to study the influence of wear between theplunger and pump barrel of the oil pump on thepolished rod dynamometer card the wear model ofthe plunger-pump barrel was established On thebasis of considering abrasive wear the forces on theabrasive particle were analyzed By calculating thewear area of abrasive particles the change curves ofwear volume and wear time versus abrasive particlediameter were obtained

(2) e wave equation of the sucker rod string froma previous study was selected and the upperboundary condition downhole boundary conditionand initial condition were determined A three-storey implicit difference format was applied tothe homogeneous rod while the variable step-length

Shock and Vibration 7

difference format was adopted between adjacentdifferent homogeneous rods Finally the waveequation was solved by the mixed finite differencemethod

(3) In order to discuss the influence of wear on thepolished rod dynamometer card a well from theLiao He Oilfield was used for the experiment e

polished rod dynamometer card shows that the in-crease in clearance between the plunger and pumpbarrel leads to a decrease in polished rod load onupstroke In view of the influence of clearance on thepolished rod dynamometer card it is meaningful tostudy the sucker rod pumping system by consideringthe wear between the plunger and pump barrel
