Proven Results.

Get your rod pumps off tap. Improve and stabilize fillage.

Field Trial Highlights

Primary Response:

  • Increased and stabilized pump fillage under dynamic downhole conditions.

  • Reduced gas interference effects.

Secondary Response:

  • Increased fluid load followed initial stabilization.

  • The well shifted into a more stable operating regime.

Economic Drivers:

  • Eliminated pump damage caused by tapping; leads to reduced frequency of interventions.

  • Captured deferred production: gas interference had historically reduced pump efficiency, deferring the production of an estimated 5 BPD for a 35 day period prior to the field trial.

Field results have demonstrated that a rod pump can be taken off tap AND experience increased and stabilized pump fillage.

The pump had been on tap when selected for field trials and despite having higher average fillage than when ‘off tap’, it still suffered from gas locking.

Line graph showing pump fillage percentage on tap over time, with fluctuations between 30% and 90%. The green solid line represents fillage, and the dashed line indicates the average fillage around 65%.
Line graph titled 'Pump Fillage (Off Tap)' showing fluctuating pump fillage percentages over time, with two lines: a solid red line representing fillage and a dashed red line indicating average fillage around 50%.

The pump was taken ‘off tap’ to observe any changes to pump behaviour and immediately suffered a drop in fillage due to constant gas locking.

Line graph showing pump fillage percentage over time, with a solid line for actual fillage and a dashed line for average fillage, titled 'Pump Fillage (Off Tap + TiGR Valve)'.

The pump was left ‘off tap’ when the TiGR Valve was installed and there was an immediate increase in pump fillage and consistency.
