Progressing Cavity Pump SystemsNOV Mono is a leader in the design, manufacture and supply of progressing cavity pumps (PC Pumps) and artificial lift solutions worldwide. With over 75 years of experience, 8 international sites and global distribution network, we provide a range of PC Pump solutions that fulfill many oilfield production needs. Our line of downhole PC Pumps are designed for use in both oil production and dewatering applications where the economics of production demand efficiency, reliability and low life-cycle cost from the production equipment.
Common Applications• Heavy Crude (aggressive geometry)• Medium Crude• Coal Bed Methane – CBM (specialized elastomers)• Shale Oil and Water• High GOR Wells
Features and Benefits• Lower Capital Cost
The lack of expensive foundations, simple construction and the compact surface drive units reduce start-up costs which allow for more pumps to be installed and more oil recovered.
• Lower Running CostTypically, a PC pump has an overall efficiency rating of 70% which is significantly higher than alternative lift methods and lowers the cost per barrel of recovered fluid.
• ReliableThe simple construction consists of only one moving part downhole and has no standing or traveling valves to block. The pump handles gas and solids without blocking and is more resistant to abrasive wear.
• Environmentally Acceptable ProfileThe low, unobtrusive profile of the quiet running surface drivehead makes the PC pump ideal for environmentally sensitive areas. Also, state of the art Leak Detection Stuffing Boxes help protect the environment from spills.

PROGRESSING CAVITY PUMP SYSTEMS
Two Run Insertable PC PumpNOV Mono has an innovative, new insertable progressing cavity pump design that allows the customer to insert a pc pump inside the production tubing and pressure test the tubing string with one easy to use tool.
Features and Benefits• There is no need for a service rig to
pull the production tubing to change a downhole pump
• Pump changes can be done with a flush-by equipped for rod handling
• The unit minimizes the need to remove production tubing, reducing the cost of downhole gauge installations
• Allows for pressure testing the production tubing as well as the primary seal, while inserting the stator.
• The system has the ability to use any progressing cavity pump without performing any modifications.
• The system can pull the rotor out of the well bore without unseating the primary seal.
Mechanically Bonded StatorWell temperatures can increase due to natural conditions and the use of thermal stimulation techniques. These conditions challenge the viability of the traditional chemically bonded pc pump stator.
One way to address this challenge is through new methods of anchoring the elastomers into the stator tube. NOV Mono has developed elastomeric stator technology to meet demands of high temperature wells.
The mechanically bonded stator is comprised of 3 main components (not including the elastomer):
• Stator Tube• Mechanical Bond Inserts• End Caps
Available in two elastomer grades:
• OBX suitable for temperatures up to 110° C• OC suitable for temperatures up to 150° C

Leak Free Stuffing BoxThe NOV Mono Leak Free (LF) stuffing box is a pre-built assembly that has been exclusively designed to simplify monitoring seal wear. It consists of a double mechanical seal supplied in a single sealed cartridge.
Features and Benefits• Designed with a two bearing system consisting of seal bearings designed to be
in one cartridge for easy replacement which results in less downtime during maintenance
• Can be mounted directly on drivehead with or without a booth• Utilizes a double mechanical seal supplied as a sealed cartridge, to deliver extended periods of leak free
operation and contains any leaked fluid inside the unit• Double sealing mechanism performs an improved sealing function.• Easy fitting of the cartridge arrangement with no setting requirement normally associated with conventional
mechanical seals; seal abuts bearing to set working length• Positive drive from the spindle via key through sleeve of the mechanical seal• All sealing faces are made from solid material for increased pressure and thermal stability• Equipped with a leakage detection unit which provides a visible indication to any breach of the primary seal
and also ensures barrier fluid lubrication of the seal faces for maximum durability• The leakage detection unit can be reset after seal replacement
Hydrodynamic BrakeThe Hydrodynamic Brake consists of a stationary half (stator) and a rotary half (rotor). The stator is bolted into the housing and the rotor is coupled to the shaft. During normal operation the rotor spins freely. When the unit goes into backspin, the rotor begins to rotate in the counter clockwise direction. The working fluid is then forced to the outside of the rotor and creates a circular flow path inside the brake cavity. As the energized fluid from the rotor comes into contact with the stationary fins of the stator, the energy is transferred to the stator and then back to the working fluid as heat. A small amount of working fluid is continually removed from the system and replaced with new fluid. The working fluid contained in the drivehead reservoir is used as the braking medium, which allows the energy stored in the fluid column and rod string to safely dissipate without the drivehead reaching excessive backspin speeds.
Features and Benefits• Non-friction brake eliminates wear on brake components• Brake capable of 2000 ft-lbs resisting torque at 250 hp• Reliable and repeatable braking• Backspin energy is absorbed by the working fluid• Heat generated by braking is dissipated by the fluid reservoir• Consistent braking with minimal maintenance throughout the
drivehead’s life

VFD ControllerThe NOV Mono Progressing Cavity Pump Controller provides a number of features specifically designed for operation of progressing cavity pumps. The drive combines motor and pump control into a single, compact package that increases production, improves energy efficiency and enhances the reliability of both new and existing pumping systems.
Multiple Constraint OptimizationAt any instant during the life of a well, there is a single constraint that limits production. Production can be maximized without compromising efficiency or reliability by forcing the system to operate at the constraint limiting production at each instant of time. Determining the applicable limits and moving smoothly between them in real time is a key advantage of the system. Models of all the system elements are run in real time at the wellhead to detect appropriate limits and enforce associated control strategies. At different points in time, the system may be limited by motor voltage, motor current, motor speed, motor torque, motor thermal capacity, power demand, rod string torque, flow line pressure, fluid level, or well inflow. Multiple constraint optimization is particularly beneficial in applications with variable inflow conditions, such as those found in coal-bed methane, high gas/oil ratio, and thermally stimulated wells.
Sensorless OperationThe drive uses a number of unique methods for precisely determining performance parameters from models of the pumping system elements without requiring external surface or downhole sensors. Sensorless system variables including rod speed, rod torque, pump speed, pump torque, fluid flow, fluid level, suction pressure, discharge pressure, and differential pressure can be observed through the drive keypad/display or recorded as circle charts and time-based plots. Fluid level, pump flow, and total production are displayed in selectable engineering units.
Sophisticated ModelingEmbedded mathematical models of the drive, motor, drive head, rod string, pump, flow line, tubing, casing, fluid, and reservoir use component specifications and well completion information along with field setup parameters to monitor pumping system operation. Identification routines automatically determine installation-dependent system parameters including those of the motor, rod string, and pump. The models capture the thermal, mechanical, electrical, and hydraulic behavior of the system to control the pumping process with greater precision than ever before.
Pump Speed ControlThe drive provides a number of options for manual, remote, and automatic control of pump speed. Speed commands can be selected from a number of sources including potentiometer adjustments, keypad presets, serial data communications, and internal optimization controllers. The motor can be operated up to twice base speed at constant power. This allows the overall gear ratio to be increased, thereby providing increased low-speed torque without loss of maximum pump speed. Dual motors can be controlled from a single drive for operation of large pumps. The system can be configured for optimization of fluid production, gas production, energy efficiency, and/or power flow.
