Energy-saving frequency converter for oilfield pumping units

2026-04-06 06:57:09 · · #1
Oil extraction in my country has made rapid progress in recent years. With the continuous growth in international and domestic demand for crude oil, my country has proposed the development goal of "energy conservation and consumption reduction" on the basis of maintaining stable and increased production year after year. This means reducing the extraction cost per ton of crude oil. kWh/t represents the average electricity consumed by a pumping unit when extracting one ton of crude oil, and is also a key indicator of "energy conservation and consumption reduction." [b]Traditional Scheme for Frequency Converters 1. Traditional Scheme[/b] Currently, my country's onshore oilfields use nearly 100,000 pumping units of various types. The number of oil wells in Xinjiang Oilfield alone is close to 20,000, and it is increasing at a rate of 5% annually. The electricity consumed by pumping units accounts for about 30% of the annual electricity consumption of each oilfield, making them the main power-consuming equipment. Over the years, in order to reduce the power consumption of pumping units, many manufacturers at home and abroad have developed various schemes around the topic of energy conservation for pumping units, successively adopting various methods such as soft start, Y/A conversion, multi-speed motors, multi-pole motors, and intermittent pumping/stopping. Practice has proven that the energy-saving effects of the above-mentioned operating methods are not ideal. Only by automatically adjusting the motor speed according to changes in the downhole oil level or the load changes during the up-and-down strokes of the pumping unit can the ideal energy-saving method be achieved, a point proven by both theory and practice. This is because the power (P) consumed by the pumping unit's motor is directly proportional to the cube of its speed (N³), expressed by the formula: P = N³. Frequency converters were initially tested on pumping units, but the energy-saving effect of general-purpose frequency converters on pumping units was not ideal because: during pumping unit operation, the sucker rod moves up and down; when the motor drives the sucker rod to move upwards, the motor obtains energy from the power grid, which is a process of consuming electrical energy.
