Artificial Lift
Working Principle
Inserting a single helical rotor, precisely machined from high strength steel, in a double internal helical stator, moulded in elastomer*, creates sealed lenticular cavities. With rotor in rotation, cavities are progressing along the pump, carrying liquid, gas or solids gently. This makes the PC Pump best for viscous and abrasive fluids.
Progressing Cavity Pump cutaway 3D visualization of sealed cavities
As the PCP is a volumetric pump, the flow rate depends solely on the rotor speed.
Operational simplicity
Easy production control
The PCP volumetric technology allows easy adjustment of production according to rotation speed. With a Variable Speed Drive, the same equipment can cover a 3:1 range in the production rate.
Steady production
The PCP volumetric, non pulsating and emulsion free system handles steadily well dynamics, viscosities or free - gas content fluctuations. A PC Pump is amazingly efficient even at low submergence.
Operating safety
Patented anti-lock and electric braking systems protect site personnel. All moving parts are caged and protected from direct access. Our systems can be engineered to meet ATEX specifications.

Angers / Western France Worldwide PCM Flow Technology Center
Elastomer selection is a critical step in designing a Progressing Cavity Pump. It influences the pumps lifespan and performance.
Elastomer Press
In-house expertise
We are one of the few manufacturers who still produce their own elastomers. We develop our formulas in our R&D lab and make them in our injection facilities. We have a wide range of nitrile-based elastomers, including a hydrogenated nitrile elastomer, which has a high resistance to H2S and temperature, and a butadiene fluorocarbon elastomer, which provides greater resistance to aromatics and CO2.
Broad selection
With over 200 PCM formulas and decades of real-world experience, we provide the best match for your fluids and application. The main elastomers used in Oil & Gas applications are:
MECHANICALS WEAR & TEAR Excellent Good Good Good Medium ABRASION Good Excellent Medium Excellent Poor AROMATICS Medium Poor Good Medium Excellent CHEMICALS H2S Medium Medium Medium Excellent Good CO2 Good Poor Medium Excellent Excellent TEMPERATURE Max at pump stator 120C / 250F 80C / 180F 100C / 210F 140C / 280F 80C / 180F

HRPCP
HRPCP technology
Older wells often have a high gas-to-oil ratio (GOR) that traditional downhole pumps are unable to handle. The Hydraulically Regulated PCP (HRPCP) opens new doors to multiphasic challenges.
Successful tests have been conducted with 90% GVF (Gas void fraction) both in PCM Flow Technology Centre and on-field. Test results show that HRPCP technology is more efficient in mature fields with erratic gas levels than conventional gas lift systems and that it can extend the lifespan of conventional PCP in multiphase conditions.

Completion tools
Rod string
Polished rod
Rod string completion is carefully selected depending on your project, well profile, torque requirements and service tools available on site.
P. Rod coupling
Polished rod
With an optimal surface finish to ensure an appropriate sealing in the stuffing box, PCM offers 11 to 44 feet length, 1 1/4 and 1 1/2 diameter polished rods.
Rod centralizer
Sucker rods
Pony rod
Non-rotating centralizers
Non-rotating centralizers help prevent rotational wear of the tubing. PCM calculates rod/tubing side loading and can recommend centralizer placement in deviated or horizontal wells.
Hollow rods
Rotor
Hollow rods, produced from seamless pipes with box-box connections, are the best choice for high-torsion operation. Tubing wear is drastically reduced thanks to external and near flush joints.
Completion tools
Tubing drain
The tubing drain provides a simple method for draining the tubing string before tripping out of the well. The opening pressure setting is 2 800 psi, but can be adjusted using 6 shear screws.
Cross over
Pup joint
Connected to the top of the stator, the pup joint allows the rotors eccentric motion.

Torque anchor
PCM recommends the CAM-LOC torque anchor which combines both centralizing and auto-locking function. Installation and removal are much easier than a traditional tubing anchor. CAM-LOC repair kit is also available for quick repairs.
Stator
Gas separator
Stop bushing
Connected below the torque anchor, the gas separator uses centrifugal forces to separate gas from the produced liquids, before they enter the pump. There are 2 configurations of the PCP Gas Separator: light Oil: for oil 24 API and greater heavy Oil: for oil less than 24 API
