Lufkin 320-305-120 Pumping Unit Manufacturer: Lufkin Type: Used Location: USA Lufkin 320-305-120 Pumping Unit Benefits The Lufkin 320-305-120 pumping unit is a beam pumping unit or "pump jack," used in the oil industry to mechanically lift fluids from wells when there isn't sufficient natural pressure to bring the fluids to the surface. The numeric designation provides information about the unit's technical specifications: 320: Represents the peak torque rating in thousands of inch-pounds. A rating of 320,000 inch-pounds indicates that the pumping unit can handle a substantial load, suitable for wells with higher production demands. 305: Indicates the stroke length in inches. The 305-inch stroke length allows the unit to lift a significant volume of fluid with each stroke, potentially leading to better production rates. 120: Signifies the gear ratio in the unit's gearbox. A 120:1 gear ratio provides a high mechanical advantage, enabling the unit to lift heavy loads which is useful for deeper wells or wells with heavier rod strings. Benefits of the Lufkin 320-305-120 pumping unit are numerous: High Lifting Capability: Capable of lifting heavy loads due to its high torque rating, making it ideal for wells with substantial fluid levels or larger volumes of production fluids. Long Stroke Length: The long stroke length allows for a larger fluid displacement per stroke, which can contribute to a lower strokes per minute (SPM) and enhanced pump efficiency. This can also reduce the wear on rods, tubing, and the pump itself. Deep Well Performance: The high gear ratio enables the unit to extract fluids from deeper wells, where the weight of the fluid and rod column requires more lifting power. Durability: Lufkin is renowned for manufacturing robust and durable equipment that withstands the demanding conditions of oilfield operations, reducing downtime and maintenance. Energy Savings: The stroke length and gear ratio configuration ensure energy-efficient performance, which can lead to operational cost reductions over the lifespan of the unit. Versatility: The pumping unit's design allows for adaptations to meet a wide array of well conditions and production requirements. Resale Value: Lufkin's reputation for quality means that their equipment maintains a good resale value in the market. Low Operating Costs: High mechanical efficiency and reliability of Lufkin pumping units contribute to low operating costs, making them an economical choice for long-term deployment. Smooth Operation: Engineered for stable and smooth operation, which is beneficial for the longevity of all the well's artificial lift components. Aftermarket Support: Extensive service and support network provided by Lufkin, ensuring easy access to parts, maintenance, and repair services.
