Patent number: 11168549Abstract: An automated sucker rod spacing device comprising a housing, a screw set within the housing and connected to a sucker rod string via a polished rod, a nut which is in threaded engagement with the screw, a means to transmit a rotation force to the nut, wherein the rotation of the nut can lower or raise the screw and thus lower or raise the sucker rod string. The device can be used to stop tagging, ensure full pump fillage, and avoid gas lock.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2019Date of Patent: November 9, 2021Assignee: TRC Services, Inc.Inventors: Donald Ewing, Michael Eric Johnson, Donald Mike Johnson, Joe Boyd, Danny Uselton

Patent number: 10195699Abstract: The disclosure relates to the treatment of rods made of metal, particularly to the method of reclamation of used standard length rods, such as pump rods already used in the mechanical deep-pumping extraction of oil, as well as to the product made with the help of the mentioned method. The method of remanufacturing of standard length rods includes the reheating of the rod body to a temperature favorable for the plastic treatment of the rod such as plastic deformation of the rod body under pressure. Such methods allow for the reclamation of rods of the desired geometric form and enhancement of the mechanical properties of the remanufactured rod. The technical outcome of the claimed invention consists in the reclamation of rods of the desired geometric form and enhancement of the mechanical properties of the remanufactured rod.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 2015Date of Patent: February 5, 2019Assignee: TRC Services, Inc.Inventors: Michael Eric Johnson, Donald Mike Johnson, Aleksei Averyanov, Viktor Smerdin
