Some specific solutions have been developed, targeted<br />

to increase rod string duration and performance.<br />

Rod Guides<br />

<strong>Tenaris</strong> has a wide range of centralizers and materials, both<br />

for beam pumping and PC pumping, which provide an<br />

effective wear control.<br />

Centralizers are molded onto rods, with the necessary grip<br />

for decreasing the displacement probability, thus becoming<br />

a real tubing and rod protection.<br />

When combined with the use of rod rotators, they also permit<br />

an effective paraffin control. It has been proved that its use in<br />

wells significantly increases tubing and rod run life and reduces<br />

their wear, consequently diminishing pulling interventions and<br />

other operating costs.<br />

Sinker Bars<br />

This element is necessary to<br />

maintain an optimized string<br />

design in order to avoid early<br />

rod failures. It is very effective<br />

to reduce pin and coupling<br />

failures generated due to the<br />

effect of string compression.<br />

Sinker bars are usually located<br />

at the end of the string, over<br />

the pump, in order to keep it<br />

fully under tensile loads during<br />

all pumping cycle. Their use<br />

minimizes compression generated<br />

on rods during the<br />

pumping down stroke.<br />

They are manufactured in<br />

compliance with <strong>API</strong> standards<br />

in 11/4" to 2" diameters<br />

in steel per customer request,<br />

with 65,000 psi to 90,000 psi<br />

tensile strength. A proprietary<br />

design alternative, 1 1/8"<br />

pin of 7/8" for 2 7/8" tubing<br />

wells for high rates volume is<br />

available.<br />

Polished <strong>Rods</strong><br />

With an optimal surface<br />

finishing to ensure an<br />

appropriate sealing in the<br />

stuffing box, <strong>Tenaris</strong> offers<br />

several types of low and<br />

medium alloy steel polished<br />

rods (AISI 1040, AISI 4140,<br />

AISI 4621).<br />

For corrosive services,<br />

stainless steel in AISI 304<br />

and 316 series are available<br />

besides steels with hard<br />

chrome plated and Spray<br />

Metal coatings. All these<br />

variations are manufactured<br />

in 6 to 36 feet lengths and<br />

1 1/4" and 1 1/2" diameters,<br />

according to customer’s<br />

specifications.<br />

Polyamide injected centralizer fit for working in up to 80°C.<br />

Its improved geometry reduces flow loss and maximizes protection.
