c) flush fluid or hot oil with clean fluid to circulate any debris
off the valves in the pump
i) if the casing is full of fluid, but the pump can not pressure
up, it may be an indication that the strainer nipple or
standing valve is plugged/scaled off and no fluid is entering
into the barrel (starved pump)
n) If the fluid level is high and the pump will not pressure
up, confirm gradient of the fluid in the annulus. It could be
that the "fluid" is in fact foam and the pump cannot pump
this mixture.
s) If the pump pressures up OK and the the well is still not
making any production, it could be due to either a plugged
or broken flowline. Paraffin, a hydrate or a stuck pig all
could cause a plugged flowline. The broken flowline is the
worst possible scenario for the producer and they should be
looking for fluid on surface, or monitor pressure drops along
the flow line.
