  • SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR REDUCING FRICTION, TORQUE AND DRAG IN ARTIFICIAL LIFT SYSTEMS USED IN OIL AND GAS PRODUCTION WELLS
    Publication number: 20240110668
    Abstract: A method of lubricating a fluid production pump may include mixing a polarized lubricant with water to produce a diluted lubricant. The method may additionally include creating a flowpath within the fluid production pump. An initial volume of the diluted lubricant may be circulated within the flowpath to allow the diluted lubricant to react with components of the fluid production pump and form a protective barrier on the components of the fluid production pump. The method may further comprise repeatedly introducing a periodic volume of diluted lubricant into the fluid production pump according to a predefined lubrication schedule.
    Type: Application
