1.

How could you tell at what depth you parted the rod?
Pump card can show how much weight is missing

2.

How could you tell how the rod parted?

Fluid Pounding rod buckling
Corrosion rod cross-sectional area is reduced, lost material
Abrasion - rod cross-sectional area is reduced, HIT
Pulling rod becomes elongated

3.

What causes a HIT?

Corrosion, Abrasion of sucker rod, Collapse or burst pressure exceeded

4.
How can you prevent a rod from parting? What could you add to
the rod and how many could you add?
Keep rod in tension
Add weight (sinker bars) below the bottom rods and above the pump
Length of sinker bar section depends on the offset of friction
5.
HIT?

What are proactive measures operators could take to prevent a

Install rod guides in highly deviated sections
Use of corrosion resistive materials

6.
at?

Whats a common frequency setting on the ESPs youre looking

60 Hz and 50 Hz

7.
What is causing your ESP motor or rod pump to tear up? What
could you do to prevent or mitigate that?
Run pump as slow as possible to produce at a constant reservoir flow
rate
