- the hydraulic pump 153 initially rotates at a speed of about 1800 rpm's and is destroked.
- the hydraulic pump 153 can be a Parker Model P1075XS (01SRM5AEY0T00CPB).
- a pumping cycle begins by giving the hydraulic piston pump 153 a command using a controller (such as the controller 39 described herein in reference to FIGS. 1-42), stroking it to charge accumulator 160 .
- the directional valve 165 is energized, while maintaining the command to the pump 153 .

- the degree of opening of the proportional control valve 171 controls how fast fluid leaves the cylinder body 167 and flows via flow lines 158 , 170 through the proportional flow control valve 171 and into reservoir 178 .
- the coupling on the rod end 169 reaches a second proximity switch which is positioned a short distance (e.g. approximately one foot) from the bottom of the travel of the pushrod 168 .
- a current signal to the proportional control valve 171 is decreased, forcing the pushrod 168 to decelerate until the coupling 20 on the rod end 169 of the pushrod 168 reaches a third proximity switch.
- the electrical signal from the controller 39 will then be removed from the proportional control valve 171 , with a voltage signal then being sent by controller 39 to the directional valve 165 while maintaining the command to the pump 153 to continue pumping.
- Oil 161 returning from the cylinder body 167 through the proportional control valve 171 passes through an oil cooler 172 and filter 173 before reaching reservoir 178 .
- the accumulator 160 will thus have a pressure change of between about five hundred (500) psi depending on sucker rod string load when it has been discharged by transmitting fluid to the cylinder 166 and a maximum pressure value of about three thousand (3,000) psi depending on sucker rod string load when it is fully charged by the pump 153 during that time that the pushrod 168 is extending and cylinder 166 is draining.

FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the apparatus of the present invention, designated generally by thenumeral 150.Oil well pump 150 provides a pump (e.g. hydraulic piston pump) 153 that receives hydraulic fluid via areservoir 151 and intake flow line/filter 152. Thehydraulic piston pump 153 is driven by a prime mover (e.g. engine or electric motor). Amanifold assembly 154 is shown surrounded by dotted lines inFIG. 1 . Themanifold assembly 154 includes various flow lines as shown inFIG. 1 ,directional valve 165, proportional flow control valve 171,relief valve 175, andvalves discharge flow line 155 extends from the discharge side ofpump 153 tointernal manifold tee 157.Check valve 156 can be placed indischarge flow line 155. Valves 161, 171, 174, 175, 176 can be a part of (e.g. internal)manifold 154. - At
internal manifold tee 157,flow lines discharge flow line 155. Theflow line 159 extends throughflow control valve 164 and to accumulator 160. Theaccumulator 160 has anoil containing portion 161 and agas containing portion 162. InFIG. 1 ,arrow 163 indicates schematically the level ofoil 161 inaccumulator 160. - Hydraulic cylinder 166 is connected to both
accumulator 160 andpump 153 viaflow line 158. Hydraulic cylinder 166 includes acylinder body 167 and anextendable pushrod 168. Thepushrod 168 is movable between retracted upper and extended lower positions. Thepushrod 168 provides arod end 169 that is fitted with a coupling (e.g. coupling 20 of the embodiments of FIGS. 1-42 in Publication No. US 2007/0261841A1, published 15 Nov. 2007, and in Publication No. WO 2007/090193 A2, published 9 Aug. 2007, both of which are hereby incorporated by reference) which connects thepushrod 168 to a well string such as the pumping string 21 (e.g. sucker rods) shown in FIGS. 1-42 in Publication No. US 2007/0261841A1, published 15 Nov. 2007, and in Publication No. WO 2007/090193 A2, published 9 Aug. 2007.Flow line 170 extends from internalmanifold tee 177 through proportional flow control valve 171 toreservoir 178.Reservoirs flow line 170 can be provided with anoil cooler 172 andfilter 173. Excess pressure in the system can be relieved usingrelief valve 175.Valve 176 is a valve that controls flow of fan/cooler 172. - In operation, the prime mover (e.g. engine or electric motor) is started which operates
hydraulic pump 153. Thehydraulic pump 153 initially rotates at a speed of about 1800 rpm's and is destroked. Thehydraulic pump 153 can be a Parker Model P1075XS (01SRM5AEY0T00CPB). A pumping cycle begins by giving the hydraulic piston pump 153 a command using a controller (such as the controller 39 described herein in reference to FIGS. 1-42), stroking it to chargeaccumulator 160. Whenaccumulator 160 is fully charged, thedirectional valve 165 is energized, while maintaining the command to thepump 153.Oil 161 is then directed from the chargedaccumulator 160 through theflow control valve 164 and from thepump 153 into therod end 168 of the hydraulic cylinder 166.Valve 164 enables free flow in and restricted flow out to control speed of upstroke of cylinder 166.Pushrod 168 will then retract lifting the pumping string until a proximity switch is actuated by a coupling that is mounted on therod end 169. - The controller 39 then de-energizes the
directional valve 165 and activates the proportional control valve 171 forcing it to open until thepushrod 168 begins to fall at a desired velocity. The degree of opening of the proportional control valve 171 controls how fast fluid leaves thecylinder body 167 and flows viaflow lines reservoir 178. - Eventually, the coupling on the
rod end 169 reaches a second proximity switch which is positioned a short distance (e.g. approximately one foot) from the bottom of the travel of thepushrod 168. When the coupling reaches the second proximity switch, a current signal to the proportional control valve 171 is decreased, forcing thepushrod 168 to decelerate until the coupling 20 on therod end 169 of thepushrod 168 reaches a third proximity switch. The electrical signal from the controller 39 will then be removed from the proportional control valve 171, with a voltage signal then being sent by controller 39 to thedirectional valve 165 while maintaining the command to thepump 153 to continue pumping.Oil 161 returning from thecylinder body 167 through the proportional control valve 171 passes through anoil cooler 172 and filter 173 before reachingreservoir 178. - During the time that the
pushrod 168 is extending with respect to thecylinder body 167,oil 161 is being pumped by thepump 153 to theaccumulator 160, charging theaccumulator 160 for use in the next cycle. Theaccumulator 160 will thus have a pressure change of between about five hundred (500) psi depending on sucker rod string load when it has been discharged by transmitting fluid to the cylinder 166 and a maximum pressure value of about three thousand (3,000) psi depending on sucker rod string load when it is fully charged by thepump 153 during that time that thepushrod 168 is extending and cylinder 166 is draining. -
FIG. 2 shows another embodiment of the apparatus of the present invention designated generally by the numeral 180. Oil well pump 180 is somewhat similar to the embodiment ofFIG. 1 , with the elimination ofbypass valve 174, that function now being taken care of bypump 184. Thepump 184 is an electronically controlled variable volume pressure compensated positive displacement piston pump such as is available from Parker® (www.parker.com).Pump 184 receives hydraulic fluid via intake flow line/filter 185 and fromreservoir 182. As with the embodiment ofFIG. 1 , a manifold 186 containsvarious valves manifold 186.Discharge flow line 187 transmits pressurized oil frompump 184 totees check valve 190 can be positioned in between thetees discharge line 187. Atinternal manifold tee 183,discharge flow line 187 communicates withflow lines -
Flow line 192 communicates withaccumulator 193. As with the embodiment ofFIG. 1 , theaccumulator 193 has anoil containing portion 194, agas containing portion 195, and whereinarrow 196 indicates the level ofoil 194 contained withinaccumulator 193. -
Flow control valve 197 can be the same as thevalve 164 ofFIG. 1 . Thedirectional valve 198 ofFIG. 2 can be the same as thedirectional valve 165 ofFIG. 1 . -
Hydraulic cylinder 199 provides acylinder body 200 that includes apushrod 201 that can be raised or lowered. Thepushrod 201 has arod end 202 that can be coupled to a pumping string such as a plurality ofsucker rods 228 connected end to end. Pushrod 201 (and sucker rods 228) rises and falls during operation as illustrated by arrow 18 inFIG. 2 . -
Flow line 203 connects to flowline 191 at internalmanifold tee 210.Flow line 203 communicates with proportionalflow control valve 204, oil cooler/fan 205,filter 206 andreservoir 182. -
Relief valve 207 is placed inflow line 211 that extends betweentee 189 andreservoir 182. Therelief valve 207 enables excess pressure to be vented from thedischarge flow line 187 viaflow line 211 toreservoir 182. -
Valve 208 is a fan control valve that controls the flow of hydraulic fluid viaflow line 209 to the fan/oil cooler 205. Flow fromline 209 discharges intoreservoir 182. The embodiment ofFIG. 2 operates in much the same fashion as the embodiment ofFIG. 1 , but for the elimination ofbypass valve 174, that function now taken care of by thepump 184. -
FIGS. 3-6 show an alternate construction for the hydraulic cylinder and its connection to the well string, pumping string orsucker rod string 228. InFIGS. 3 and 4 ,hydraulic cylinder 212 provides acylinder body 213 and apushrod 214 that moves between upper and lower positions.Pushrod 214 is affixed topiston 237 and travels therewith. At the lower end portion ofpushrod 214 is providedfemale connector 215 to which is connected elongatedpolished rod 216. -
Frame 217 forms an interface betweencylinder body 213 and awellhead tree 220. Theframe 217 has anupper end portion 218 to whichcylinder body 213 is mounted using itsflange 231. Theframe 217 has alower end portion 219 that attaches to thewellhead tree 220. -
Flange 231 can be mounted toupper end portion 218 offrame 217.Rod gland 232 is connected to and extends downwardly fromflange 231.Head 233 forms an interface betweencylinder body 213 andflange 231 as shown.Flushing box 221 is mounted to the lower end portion ofgland 232. Theflushing box 221 has aninfluent port 222 and aneffluent port 223, enabling a flushing fluid to be pumped from a source to theflushing box interior 239 and then discharged. A continual stream of flushing fluid (for example hydraulic fluid) continuously cleans thepolished rod 216 which is attached to the lower end portion ofpushrod 214 atfemale connector 215. -
Cylinder body 213 provides anupper port 234 and alower port 235. Theupper port 234 can be a part ofcap 236 which is fastened to the upper end portion ofcylinder body 213 as shown.FIG. 4 illustrates a condition wherein thepiston 237 is being elevated in the direction ofarrows 241.Lower port 235 is receiving inflow of hydraulic fluid as indicated schematically by thearrow 240 inFIG. 4 . Fluid abovepiston 237 is evacuated viaport 244 illustrated inFIG. 5 , thearrows 229 indicate schematically the flow direction of oil as thepiston 237,pushrod 214, andpolished rod 216 are elevated. Coupling 227 is also elevating as illustrated inFIG. 5 . - In
FIG. 6 , thepiston 237 is being lowered. Fluid escapescylinder 212 viaflow line 243 as illustrated byarrow 247 inFIG. 6 .Port 244 is simply a vent at the top of thecylinder 212 as indicated byarrow 246 inFIG. 6 .String pot 238 is mounted uponcap 236.String pot 238 is a measuring apparatus that is commercially available from Parker (www.parker.com). TheString pot 238 has a cable orwire 248 that attaches at 249 topiston 237 orpushrod 214. As thepiston 237 raises and lowers, the cable orwire 248 pays out or is retrieved bystring pot 238. Thestring pot 238 is interface with suitable instrumentation with the programmable logic controller or PLC 39. Thus, thestring pot 238 replaces the limit switches of FIGS. 1-42. - A
flow tee 224 can be mounted uponwellhead tree 220 belowframe 217. Theflow tee 224 enables oil that is being pumped from the well to be transmitted to tankage viaflow line 225 as indicated schematically byarrow 230.Flow line 225 can be a vent line from top ofwellhead 220.Blowout preventer 226 can be positioned belowflow tee 224.Polished rod 216 can be for example about 25-30 feet in length. Thus, the polished rod enables a very long pump stroke to be provided for pumping oil. Because thepolished rod 216 extends through theflushing box 221 and into thewellhead tree 220, coupling 227 can be placed belowblowout preventer 226 for connecting thepolished rod 216 to sucker rods or pumpingstring 228. The pumping cylinder arrangement ofFIG. 3 enables theframe 217 to be relatively short such as for example about three feet in height. -
FIG. 7 shows another alternate embodiment of the apparatus of the present invention, designated generally by the numeral 250. Oil well pump 250 provides a pump (e.g. hydraulic piston pump) 253 that receives hydraulic fluid via areservoir 251 and intake flow line/filter 252. Thehydraulic piston pump 253 is driven by a prime mover (e.g. engine or electric motor). Amanifold assembly 254 is shown surrounded by dotted lines inFIG. 7 . Themanifold assembly 254 includes various flow lines as shown inFIG. 7 ,directional valve 265, proportionalflow control valve 271,relief valve 275, andvalves discharge flow line 255 extends from the discharge side ofpump 253 to internalmanifold tee 257.Check valve 256 can be placed indischarge flow line 255.Valves manifold 254. - At
internal manifold tee 257,flow lines discharge flow line 255. Theflow line 259 extends throughflow control valve 264 and toaccumulator 260. Theaccumulator 260 has anoil containing portion 261 and agas containing portion 262. InFIG. 7 arrow 263 indicates schematically the level ofoil 261 inaccumulator 260. -
Hydraulic cylinder 266 is connected to bothaccumulator 260 and pump 253 viaflow line 258.Hydraulic cylinder 266 includes acylinder body 267 and anextendable pushrod 268. Thepushrod 268 is movable between retracted upper and extended lower positions. Thepushrod 268 provides arod end 269 that is fitted with a coupling (e.g. coupling 20 of the embodiments of FIGS. 1-42 in Publication No. US 2007/0261841A1, published 15 Nov. 2007, and in Publication No. WO 2007/090193 A2, published 9 Aug. 2007, both of which are hereby incorporated by reference) which connects thepushrod 268 to a well string such as the pumping string 21 (e.g. sucker rods) shown in FIGS. 1-42 in Publication No. US 2007/0261841A1, published 15 Nov. 2007, and in Publication No. WO 2007/090193 A2, published 9 Aug. 2007.Flow line 270 extends from internalmanifold tee 277 through proportionalflow control valve 271 toreservoir 278.Reservoirs flow line 270 can be provided with anoil cooler 272 andfilter 273. Excess pressure in the system can be relieved usingrelief valve 275.Valve 276 is a valve that controls flow of fan/cooler 272. - In operation, the prime mover (e.g. engine or electric motor) is started which operates
hydraulic pump 253. Thehydraulic pump 253 initially rotates at a speed of about 1800 rpm's and is destroked. Thehydraulic pump 253 can be a Parker Model P1075XS (01SRM5AEY0T00CPB). A pumping cycle begins by giving the hydraulic piston pump 253 a command using a controller (such as the controller 39 described herein in reference to FIGS. 1-42), stroking it to chargeaccumulator 260. Whenaccumulator 260 is fully charged, thedirectional valve 265 is energized, while maintaining the command to thepump 253.Oil 261 is then directed from the chargedaccumulator 260 through theflow control valve 264 and from thepump 253 into therod end 268 of thehydraulic cylinder 266.Valve 264 enables free flow in and restricted flow out to control speed of upstroke ofcylinder 266.Pushrod 268 will then retract lifting the pumping string until a proximity switch is actuated by a coupling that is mounted on therod end 269. - The controller 39 then de-energizes the
directional valve 265 and activates theproportional control valve 271 forcing it to open until thepushrod 268 begins to fall at a desired velocity. The degree of opening of theproportional control valve 271 controls how fast fluid leaves thecylinder body 267 and flows viaflow lines flow control valve 271 and intoreservoir 278. - Eventually, the coupling on the
rod end 269 reaches a second proximity switch which is positioned a short distance (e.g. approximately one foot) from the bottom of the travel of thepushrod 268. When the coupling reaches the second proximity switch, a current signal to theproportional control valve 271 is decreased, forcing thepushrod 268 to decelerate until the coupling 20 on therod end 269 of thepushrod 268 reaches a third proximity switch. The electrical signal from the controller 39 will then be removed from theproportional control valve 271, with a voltage signal then being sent by controller 39 to thedirectional valve 265 while maintaining the command to thepump 253 to continue pumping.Oil 261 returning from thecylinder body 267 through theproportional control valve 271 passes through anoil cooler 272 and filter 273 before reachingreservoir 278. - During the time that the
pushrod 268 is extending with respect to thecylinder body 267,oil 261 is being pumped by thepump 253 to theaccumulator 260, charging theaccumulator 260 for use in the next cycle. Theaccumulator 260 will thus have a pressure change of between about five hundred (500) psi depending on sucker rod string load when it has been discharged by transmitting fluid to thecylinder 266 and a maximum pressure value of about three thousand (3,000) psi depending on sucker rod string load when it is fully charged by thepump 253 during that time that thepushrod 268 is extending andcylinder 266 is draining. - A second, optional,
accumulator 279 is shown inFIG. 7 , connected to flowline 258 viaflow line 283. As withaccumulator 260, theaccumulator 279 has oil at 280 and gas at 281. Thearrow 282 shows the surface ofoil 280.Accumulator 279 is used to remove surge or shock in the operation ofhydraulic cylinder 266 to help protectcylinder 266.Accumulator 279 is in the discharge line of the pump.Accumulator 279 may have a capacity of, for example, around one quart, whileaccumulator 260 may have a capacity of around 15 gallons. -
Accumulator 260 my be, for example, an integrated accumulator with a capacity of around 15 gallons, or it may be an accumulator with a capacity of around 5 to 7.5 gallons, for example, with a gas bottle having a capacity of around 10 gallons, to give it a total capacity of around 15 to 17.5 gallons, for example. - Also, multiple
smaller capacity accumulators 260 could be used instead of one larger capacity accumulator 260 (due to space constraints, for example). - In all accumulators, the oil can be, for example, hydraulic oil such as Exxon Humble Hydraulic H68 brand hydraulic oil or equivalent, biodegradable oil, Sea Blue Hydraulic Oil 68 by Industrial Oils Unlimited of Arkansas; the gas can be, for example, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, or any other preferably non-toxic and non-flammable commercially available compressed inert gas.
