    The VSH2 artificial lift system from Weatherford uses nitrogen-over-hydraulic technology to lift rod strings. It has three main components - an accumulator, cylinder, and direct-drive pump. The nitrogen accumulator pushes hydraulic fluid to lift the rod string. Proximity switches control the electric servo valve to reverse the stroke. It can handle high loads at variable speeds with low maintenance. The system provides well control and flexibility for various well conditions.

    Nitrogen-over-Hydraulic System
     Two-stage cylinder
     Nitrogen over Hydraulic Accumulator
     Nitrogen pressure pushes the accumulator piston
    down forcing the hydraulic oil from the accumulator
    into the upper stage of the cylinder lifting 2/3 of the
    rod and fluid weight.
     Polish rod direction is reversed via proximity
    switches sending a signal to the Electric
    Displacement Valve that changes the chamber in the
    lower stage to which the hydraulic oil flows.

    VSH2 Pumping Unit
    Operating Principle
    ① Nitrogen pushes down on the
    accumulator piston. Hydraulic
    fluid under piston is forced
    into upper chamber thus
    pushing the cylinder piston up.
    ② Servo Valve routes pressurized
    fluid to lower stages to cycle
    the cylinder up or down.
    ③ Proximity switches activate the
    EDC valve
    ④ Change SPM by turning
    switches

    VSH2 Benefits
     Specifically developed for the fields with heavy
    crude oil, wells with rod fall problems and better well
    control.

     Handles PPRL’s up to 40,000 lbs.
     Pumps depths to 10,000 ft.
     Changes strokes per minute with a turn of the
    switch in either direction
     Srokes per Minute can be as slow as 0 and as fast as
    9 (depending on model)

     SPM - 0 to 9 (depending on unit size)
     PPRL - 35,000 - 40,000 lbs.
     Three moving parts - cylinder, accumulator and direct
    drive pump (excluding prime mover)
     Safety shutdowns - rod separation, high pressure,
    low fluid level, high oil temp.
     SPM changes with the turn of a switch
     Adjustable stroke lengths
     Skid size - 5ft x 8ft x 74”

    Rod Separation Plate
     When the pump sticks, separation
    between plate and switch occurs
     This de-strokes the unit and stops
    the unit from stroking until the polish
    rod falls or the pumper is aware of
    the problem
     If the polish rods falls later, the unit
    continues to stroke until separation
    occurs again
     A red alarm light indicates
    separation has occurred sometime
    during the day or night.

    Overview
    When to use - temporary or permanent
     Well evaluating and testing
     During downtime for repairs of conventional
     Lengthily delivery times
     Production decline to reduce energy consumption
     Looking for a unit that can reduce freight,setup
    charges,site preparation, maintenance and energy
    consumption
     Greater well control
     Greater well flexibility
