Definitions
- This disclosure relates generally to equipment utilized and operations performed in conjunction with a subterranean well and, in an example described below, more particularly provides a corrosion and abrasion resistant sucker rod.
- a sucker rod is typically used to transmit work from an actuator at surface to a downhole pump in a well.
- the actuator may reciprocate or rotate the sucker rod (or both) to operate the downhole pump.
- a single sucker rod may extend substantially an entire distance from the surface actuator to the downhole pump (typically thousands of meters), in which case the sucker rod is of the type known to those skilled in the art as a “continuous” sucker rod.
- many sucker rods e.g., having lengths of ⁇ 20-30 ft. or 6-9 m may be connected together, in order to extend the distance between the surface actuator and the downhole pump.
- FIG. 1 is a representative partially cross-sectional view of an example of a well system and associated method which can embody principles of this disclosure.
- FIG. 2 is a representative schematic view of an example of a sucker rod surface treatment method which can embody the principles of this disclosure.
- FIG. 3 is a representative schematic view of another example of the sucker rod surface treatment method.
- FIG. 4 is a representative perspective view of a sucker rod treated using the FIG. 3 method.
- FIG. 5 is a representative schematic view of another example of the sucker rod surface treatment method.
- FIG. 6 is a representative perspective view of a sucker rod treated using the FIG. 5 method.
- FIG. 7 is a representative schematic view of another example of the sucker rod surface treatment method.
- FIG. 8 is a representative perspective view of a sucker rod treated using the FIG. 7 method.
- FIG. 1 Representatively illustrated in FIG. 1 is a system 10 and associated method for use with a subterranean well, which system and method can embody principles of this disclosure.
- a walking beam-type surface pumping unit 12 is mounted on a pad 14 adjacent a wellhead 16.
- a rod string 18 extends into the well and is connected to a downhole pump 20 in a tubing string 22. Reciprocation of the rod string 18 by the pumping unit 12 causes the downhole pump 20 to pump fluids (such as, liquid hydrocarbons, gas, water, etc., and combinations thereof) from the well through the tubing string 22 to surface.
- fluids such as, liquid hydrocarbons, gas, water, etc., and combinations thereof
- the pumping unit 12 as depicted in FIG. 1 is of the type known to those skilled in the art as a“conventional” pumping unit.
- a“conventional” pumping unit Flowever, in other examples, other types of walking beam pumping units (such as, those known to persons skilled in the art as Mark II, reverse Mark, beam-balanced and end-of-beam pumping units), hydraulic, rotary or other types of pumping units may be used.
- the pumping unit 12 or other actuator may rotate the rod string 18 instead of, or in addition to, reciprocating the rod string.
- the scope of this disclosure is not limited to use of any particular type or configuration of pumping unit.
- the rod string 18 may comprise a substantially continuous rod, or may be made up of multiple connected together rods (also known as“sucker rods”).
- a polished rod 24 extends through a stuffing box 26 on the wellhead 16.
- An outer surface of the polished rod 24 is finely polished to avoid damage to seals in the stuffing box 26 as the polished rod reciprocates upward and downward through the seals.
- a carrier bar 28 connects the polished rod 24 to a bridle 30.
- the bridle 30 in this example comprises multiple cables that are secured to and wrap partially about a horsehead end of a beam of the pumping unit 12.
- a hydraulic actuator, a motor or another type of actuator may be used to displace the polished rod 24 and the remainder of the rod string 18.
- the rod string 18 includes the polished rod 24, the sucker rod(s) 32 and any adapters/connectors used to operatively connect the rod string to the downhole pump 20.
- the sucker rod 32 is exposed to fluids in the tubing, which may include corrosive agents (such as, acid gases in the production stream, CO2 and/or H 2 S). This can lead to eventual failure, or the need to more frequently replace the sucker rod 32.
- the sucker rod 32 is subject to damage due to shipping and handling, installation in the well and the pumping operation. If a corrosion resistant coating has been applied to the sucker rod 32, the coating could be breached by impacts, wear and abrasion at any point during shipping, handling, installation and operation. It would be beneficial to be able to protect a corrosion resistant layer on a sucker rod from such damage.

Abstract
La présente invention concerne une tige de pompage qui peut comprendre un métal de base, une couche résistante à la corrosion sur le métal de base, et une couche résistante à l'abrasion externe à la couche résistante à la corrosion, la couche résistante à l'abrasion comprenant un matériau phénolique. Une autre tige de pompage selon l'invention peut comprendre un métal de base, une couche résistante à la corrosion sur le métal de base, et une couche résistante à l'abrasion extérieure à la couche résistante à la corrosion, la couche résistante à l'abrasion comprenant un matériau particulaire résistant à l'abrasion et un matériau de matrice. Un procédé de production d'une tige de pompage continue peut comprendre le déplacement de la tige de pompage continue à travers un système de traitement de surface, l'application d'une couche résistante à la corrosion sur un métal de base de la tige de pompage continue, puis l'application d'une couche résistante à l'abrasion extérieure à la couche résistante à la corrosion.
