Abstract
Abstract A common problem verified in the sucker rod pumping technique is fluid slippage, reducing pump efficiency (PE). Approaches relating to the influence of water cut, viscosity, and clearance on fluid slippage lacks discussions in the literature. Thus, this work aims to study the effect of these three parameters upon slippage and PE. Rheological analyses were carried out to determine emulsions viscosities. The obtained data were inputs parameters in the QRod—Echometer software. The results showed that clearance was the parameter that most influenced the pump efficiency, and for fluids with low viscosity, the PE will be optimized when clearance is reduced.
