Actually no polished rods are hollow: they are all solid steel. Some polished rods have a smooth polished surface and other polished rods are a rough surface, which requires the use of a Polished Rod Liner that is clamped onto the polished rod and provides the pressure seal with the stuffing box packing. A company might use one of these as the cheaper PR Liner can be replaced if damaged without replacing the full PR (also it is easier to put a clamp on the PR to stack the rods out on the wellhead without damaging the smooth polished finish). This video shows a pin hole in the liner.

The course is extremely underpriced when you look at the value delivered. I can supercharge your knowledge and career, and save your company hundred's of thousands by making better decisions...

Let me think. I will email you a response

The Polished Rod is a solid thick rod at top. There are two types: one that does not have a smooth spray metal finish and others that do. If it does not have that finish, it will have a PR Liner attached on top of it that holds the pressure seal with the Stuffing Box. The PR Liner only needs to be the length of the stroke length plus an additional foot or so. So you might have a 24' Polished Rod but only a 10' PR Liner.

Cement is not always brought to surface though: it depends on the operator and the location of where the wells is drilled and the downhole conditions. The Surface Casing protects the fresh water, and if the Production Casing ever parts during a frac job: it is well obvious (drop in pressure and flows out to surface). I don't think many people opposed to fracking are likely taking this course :)

Agreed that the cement job does not come to surface it is just part of picture. Don't get me wrong I love your presentation. Great work. You know your stuff,;thanks for sharing and explaining. Old frac rat here, worked on many hundreds of wells in Wyoming, Utah, Montana. I saw everything from 17,000 psi on the well head to screaming vacuum after one pumped into them. Once the well lost fluid height they would turn around and come back at us . Those were the days of my youth!@@DownholeDiagnostic

Thanks! Consider taking the full course sometime. There are additional free videos if you sign up for the free preview of the course on the website. Cheers!

West Texas. You will find many of these units wherever oil production intersects with farmers. The units do not have long stroke lengths (usually 86" max), so they are only good for shallower wells (<7000') and wells that do not make much fluid.

@@DownholeDiagnostic really I worked in west texas for a while never seen those

It is only used in a farmers field that has a crop pivot that rotates around and waters the plants. The PPU has to be short in height so the crop pivot can pass overhead

@@DownholeDiagnostic this in Texas?

Since a lot of them are pad drilled (many wells on one pad right by each other) and the wellbores are not very straight, rod pumping is more difficult due to increased failure rates. Many of these horizontal wells start out with Gas Lift as the artificial method, or ESP (if it makes less gas and has a higher water cut).

esps when they start off till they pump off then gas lift normally then end of life rod pumps

If you have a tubing leak, the well will stop producing fluid to surface, so the the PIP (Pump Intake Pressure) will rise as the fluid level rises in the wellbore.

Thanks man! I can't wait to take these classes.@@DownholeDiagnostic

I have invested a ton of time into the course and cannot give it all away for free. Take a huge leap forward in your knowledge and take the course: www.RodPumpingOptimization.com

@@DownholeDiagnostic Do you have any idea if you can watch the course videos with Spanish subtitles?

@@GonzaloRodriguez-cj4my That is a great idea, but unfortunately not yet. I will see if I can look into that sometime in the future and see if I can get some sort of AI software (Chat GPT type) to maybe translate and subtitle it, but I would not expect that anytime soon. Mucho amor mi amigo

Please don’t. I paid for this course. 😂

@@philipbrister me to 😅

This video was made 3 years ago but alr

You aren't going to pull a pump every time you have to figure out something downhole. That's just wasting money.
