Abstract: Identification and tracking of sucker rods, tubulars, and other threaded wellbore components uses a coded indicium or a distinctive marking adjacent threaded areas, such as on the pin ends of the endpieces for the sucker rods or on the counterbore of a tubular coupling. The coded indicium can be applied to a surface of an undercut area located on the pin end between a threaded area and a shoulder of the endpiece. The coded indicium is applied with a non-damaging process, such as laser annealing, laser marking, or another comparable technique. When the endpieces are connected together with a coupling, the coded indicium in the undercut area is covered by the coupling, which threads to the pin ends and engages the shoulder of the endpieces. Secondary tracking can also be achieved using an electronic device, such as an RFID device, disposed on a thread protector for the threaded wellbore component.

Abstract: An assembled sucker rod includes a rod body with a rod end and an endpiece containing a receptacle at the rod end. An adhesive is set between the receptacle and rod end, and an insert is positioned through the endpiece's side, contacting the rod end, and resisting compressive loads. The endpiece has apertures for the insert, which has ends and an intermediate portion; the latter contacts the rod end compressively, while the ends contact the endpiece oppositely. The rod end may feature a hole or slot for the insert, or its distal portion may directly abut the insert.

Abstract: A metal sucker rod has a first end and a second end spaced apart from the first end. At least one end piece with a recess is configured to receive one of the first end and the second end of the metal sucker rod. The metal sucker rod includes an adhesive applied to at least one of a) the first end and the second end of the steel rod and b) in the recess of the at least one end piece. The adhesive is configured to secure the end piece to one of the first end and the second end.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: 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.
