How Coiled Rod Works...
Coiled rod was first utilized over 30 years ago and has always exhibited distinct advantages over conventional coupled sucker rod due to its lack of a coupling every 25 feet in the wellbore. Depending on the operating characteristics of the well, these advantages can vary from marginal to extreme and include:
- Minimized tubing and rod wear, subsequently reducing remedial workovers;
- Minimized coupling failures;
- Reduced flow losses therefore less energy required for pumping;
- Safer, fully automated handling; and
- Excellent application for slim-hole tubing;
- Reduced rod fall problems.
