WHAT IS SILVERJACK BUILT FOR
Application
Quick detection and unique resolution to pumping problems. SilverJack is fully capable with gas driven systems offering full optimization
Long stroke application (300")
High Production Rod Pumping
- Transition from ESP's or gas lift to rod pumping
- Deviated wells, slower stroke can move higher volume with less wear
- Better performance with higher GOR (higher compression ratio)
- Wear distribution on rod string and tubing will maximize system life
Issue Identification & Resolution
Challenging Rod Pumping Applications
- Fully featured controller integrated with remote access web host provides unparalleled visibility into pump status and performance
- Leverage flexibility of hydraulics to change any portion of pump stroke profile
auto adjust with Declining Wells
High Decline Rates
- Remotely change stroke rate/length. No mechanical changes, site visits or downtime.
- Eliminate need for counterweight changes as well pumps off
- Eliminate gear box loading issues as well characteristics change
Land owner challenged installations
Space Constrained
- Multi-well pads with tight well spacing
- Safety advantages in more populated areas
Two pumping models
Our Products
We offer two models of the SilverJack Lift Systems – SJ150 & SJ300. Find out which one will work best for your application.
Pump model
SJ150
Pump model
SJ300
LONG STROKE
< 250 bbl/day
(< 40m3/day)
- Up to 29,000lb peak polish rod load
- Up to 150" max stroke lengths
- Direct well head mount
- Small footprint. Install in confined spaces
- AC & natural gas/propane powerpacks with various configurations
- Single Equipment Enclosure
- Tandem (Walk-in)
<1,250+ bbl/day
<200m3/day
- up to 50,000 lbs polish rod load
- up to 300" long stroke length
- Solid and secure base structure
- AC powerpacks. Full enclosure configuration
- AI adjusting N2 Lift Assist
- Utilizing a bridal system for polish pod attachment point and external stuffing box.
- Anchored cable and pulley system 1 to 2 movement ratio
- 300" stroke length only requires ~150" cylinder length
SJ150 & SJ300
Key Differences
- SJ150 150”
- SJ300 up to 300”
- Design uses cables to attach to rod string (external stuffing box)
- Cables run over pulleys on the cylinder ram
- With moving pulleys, each 1” of cylinder movement results in 2” of rod string movement
- 300” stroke length only requires ~150” cylinder length
New Changes
Quality Improvements
Less Connections preventing spills and lost N2
- 8 Cable Design with Improved Material
- Changed from a 4-cable design to an 8-cable design to make sheaves and cables last longer
- Half Moon Removed
- Removing failure point and replacing with robust system with backup nuts
- Aluminum Bronze Gland
- The gland material is aluminum bronze rather than steel that could potentially rust and cause contamination
- Welded Port Removed
- The welded port is gone on cylinders reducing wait time on parts.
Safety & Service
Rig Servicing Improvements
Fastest and Safest Equipment to Rig-In/out
- Perfect Alignment
- Pile design allows perfect alignment –Customers have seen 50% reduction in maintenance costs over concrete base.
- Slide Mechanism
- During well servicing, unit has proper slide mechanism that allows one person to remove 6 bolts and slide unit back in less than 5 minutes.
- No Hoses Get Disconnected During Servicing
- Reduced Footprint
- Even though the unit has longer stroke it has lower footprint.
- Stability
- The ladder acts as stabilizer for any motion and makes unit more rigid.
- Clutter Free Tubing
- The structural design allows tubing to be stood in tubing board with no obstacles.

Scroll down for examples of scenarios with resolutions
SCenario #1:
Standing Valve
Stuck Open
MEASURE
- Downloading polish rod loads every 15 minutes
ANALYZE
- Alarm set on MPRL trend: High MPRL alarm sent
- Alarm triggers user to investigate (manage by exception)
- User connects to remote access web host to investigate and determine problem
30 - 40 min
Problem Resolution/Confirmation
OPTIMIZE
- User remotely increases down stoke speed via SCADA Access
- Increases fluid velocity passing open valve to flush debris
TEST
- Monitor data trends on SCADA Access to determine if problem is resolved or further action required.
SCENaRIO #2
Gas Lock
MEASURE
- Downloading polish rod loads every 15 minutes
ANALYZE
- Alarm set on pumpfill drop
- Alarm triggers user to investigate (manage by exception)
- User connects to SCADA Access to investigate and determine problem
Gas Lock Intervention
Supported by Autonomous Optimization
OPTIMIZE
- User remotely increases down stoke speed via SCADA Access
- If faster down stroke not successful, lower bottom position to put well on tap. History shows 50-70% success rate.
TEST
- Monitor data trends on SCADA Access to determine if problem is resolved or further action required.
SCENARIO #3
Hole In Tubing
MEASURE
- Downloading polish rod loads every 15 minutes
ANALYZE
- Alarm set on PPRL trend – Low PPRL alarm created
- Alarm triggers user to investigate (manage by exception)
- User connects to SCADA Access to investigate and determine problem
OPTIMIZE
- Mechanical issue that cannot be resolved with Optimization
- Value is in early notification and problem identification
Minimized troubleshooting time & cost
Identified problem remotely in 1hr
with no field testing.
TEST
- Reported Problem: Initial report was dropping production. No obvious problem. No visible change in PPRL.
- Troubleshooting Steps:
- Remotely reduced stroke rate, 5 SPM to 1 SPM,
- Demand polled pump cards,
- Overlaid pump cards to compare.
- Conclusion: At 1 SPM, PPRL slowly dropping (fluid escaping through hole exceeded amount being lifted). Column of fluid dropping. No surface production.
SCENaRIO #4
Casing Valve Closed
ANALYZE
-
Quick, significant drop in pump fill and upstroke rod load, increase in downstroke rod load.
-
Detected via rod load alarm.
Benefit
Quick detection avoided lost production
CONCLUSION
- Casing valve closed
SOLUTION
- Travel to site and open casing valve
