Hydraulic Jet Pumps

Applications and Designs
Trico's Kobe/Oilmaster Jet Pumps can be adapted to run in a
wide variety of bottom hole cavities and downhole tools. The ac-
tual working components of the Jet Pumpthe nozzle, throat
and diffuser are assembled in a variety of configurations and
materials to suit the production requirements and the downhole
environment. Shown above are some of the more common Jet
Pump applications.
The Standard Single Seal Jet Pump is shown landed in a bot-
tom hole assembly designed for a hydraulic piston pump. This
design permits adaptation to a wide assortment of bottom hole
assemblies from many manufacturers. As a Free Pump, the
unit may be retrieved merely by changing the flow of power fluid
down the casing annulus, unseating the pump and returning it to
the surface. The Free Pump feature can eliminate costly tubing
pulls to retrieve the bottom hole pump.
The High Volume Jet Pump is also shown in a Free Pump
configuration. Due to the enlarged fluid passageways of the
High Volume Jet, a special bottom hole assembly is required.
The High Volume Jet Pump can also be run in a reverse circula-
tion mode. As shown, the reverse circulation design is not a
Free Pump, but is held in place by means of a top lock/me-
chanical holddown. It is easily installed and retrieved using
conventional wireline fishing tools.
The Sliding Sleeve Jet Pump design has become popular in
particular with offshore operators. Primarily run in a reverse cir-
culation mode with a top lock, the Sliding Sleeve version can
also be run on tubing if desired. Platform operators using elec-
tric submersible pumps have found that the Sliding Sleeve Jet
Pump can be run in to continue to produce a well when the ESP
has shut down. Tricos Sliding Sleeve Jet Pumps have been
widely accepted and are especially suited for drill stem testing,
because surface pumps are already in place and well produc-
tion capacity is uncertain (jet pumps can operate at less than 5
percent of rated capacity without damage to the pump).
The Tubing/Packer Jet Pump can be installed in a well by wire-
line methods without first pulling the tubing. As shown, this

How It Works
Power fluid at high pressure (low velocity) is converted to a low
pressure (high velocity) jet by the nozzle. The pressure at the
entrance of the throat becomes lower as the power fluid rate is

fluid is slowed down by the
diffuser. Because the velocity is reduced, the pressure in-

surface.
A full range of nozzle and throat sizes are available to allow
power fluid rate and pressure to be varied to meet various re-
quirements.

Coiled Tubing Jet Pump

COILED OR
From crude oil production to de-watering gas wells, the Trico 1- CONVENTIONAL
1/4" Jet Pump is as rugged and dependable as it is versatile. TUBING
This slim, compact downhole pump was designed exclusively to
be run in existing 2-3/8" or 2-7/8" tubing. No expensive tubing
workovers are required, as all the necessary tools are usually
run in on 1-1/4" or 1-1/2" coiled tubing. The pumps Bottom Hole
Assembly can also be run in on conventional 1-1/4" jointed pipe.
PUMP
The pump itself is actually a Free Pump, and circulates hydrau- CAVITY
lically through the coiled or conventional tubing.
The Trico 1-1/4" Jet Pump is ideal for offshore production use
when either the well has stopped flowing, as a replacement for
gas lift installations, for de-watering gas wells or as a new lift 1-1/4" JET
installation. On a platform, where space is always at a premium, "FREE" PUMP
the entire hydraulic package can be custom designed to fit
virtually any space requirement. In multiple well installations,
two or three wells may be able to operate from one Triplex or
Multiplex pump, further eliminating space problems. In a de-
watering situation, the pump can be set permanently while
using a rental Triplex or Multiplex when necessary, thus
reducing capital and operating expenses.
All Trico hydraulic Free Pumps are circulated in, operated, and
circulated out hydraulically, without the need for a wireline or WELL CASING
workover rig. This feature allows the operator to remove the (OPEN FOR
VENTING GAS)
pump from the well at any time for inspection or re-sizing just by
redirecting the flow of fluid in a reverse pumping manner. The
Trico 1-1/4" CT Jet Pump can be circulated in and out of 1-1/4"
coiled tubing without flashing removed.

Drill Stem Test
The flexibility and adaptability of the Kobe/Oilmaster Jet Pump
has proven to be an asset in doing DST on wells that are either
difficult to initiate flow or that will not flow. The pump provides a
means to effectively test these types of wells or zones. Probably
LOCK & UPPER SEAL
the simplest method is using the Sliding Sleeve Jet Pump.
The SSJ Pump has been designed to land and seal-off in a slid-
SLIDING SLEEVE BODY ing sleeve, thereby using the sliding sleeve as a pump
receptacle.
The use of the SSJ pump allows the use of a completely stan-
dard DST tool string. Only a sliding sleeve, or ported nipple, is

added immediately above the DST tools and packer.
The SSJ pump may be locked into the sliding sleeve prior to run-

ning it into the well, or it can be wirelined in after the DST tools
are run in and landed. The use of an annulus-controlled safety
valve immediately below the sliding sleeve provides additional
well control and allows other useful operations to be performed.
Features/Advantages
The use of complicated coiled tubing methods for well testing
are a thing of the past, replaced by Tricos effective and efficient

When used for Drill Stem Testing, the SSJ pump:
Provides lower cost drill stem testsno special equipment
to hook up on surface; reduced rig time and run time (no

ZONE BEING TESTED

Using the SSJ to Kick-Off a Well
It may become evident after obtaining well test data using the
SSJ Pump that the well will flow if it can be kicked-off. With an
SSJ Pump in the sliding sleeve and an annulus-controlled
safety valve immediately below the sliding sleeve, this can be
easily done.
The following steps will accomplish this:
1. Pump water down the casing annulus at surface pressure
below the pressure required to open safety valve.
2. Continue pumping until all production fluids are circulated
out of drill string; now annulus and tubing gradients are
the same.
3. Retrieve SSJ Pump with wireline tools, then run in wire-
line tool used to close sliding sleeve & hang-off over slid-
ing sleeve.
4. Pump diesel or other light fluid down the drill string and
spot just above the sliding sleeve.
5. Close the sliding sleeve with wireline tool and retrieve
tools.
6. Rig wellhead to flow.
7. Pressure-up annulus and hold pressure to open annulus-
controlled safety valve allowing well to flow.
8. If well does not flow, open sliding sleeve, run SSJ Pump
and operate with sufficient pressure to also open safety
valve.

HYDRAULIC PUMPS
SINGLE VESSEL UNIDRAULIC
The TRICO UNIDRAULIC is a complete, self-contained hydraulic
power fluid system that is typically mounted at the wellsite. Well flu-
ids are separated by the TRICO UNIDRAULIC into power fluid and
produced (flowline) fluid. The produced fluid is directed to the pro-
duction facility and the power fluid is cleaned (by cyclone desand-
ers) for use in operating the downhole piston pump or jet pump.
The TRICO UNIDRAULIC permits an individual well to be produced
hydraulically and at a cost competitive with other methods of artifi-
cial lift.
Other advantages of the TRICO UNIDRAULIC Pumping System in-
clude:
Compact and easily installed unit.
Economical and flexible.
Operates with Kobe/Oilmaster downhole piston or jet pumps
No pre-planning of a central facility.
No changes required in an existing tank battery.
No need for increased central treating facilities.
A quick, simple, economical way to produce a single well hy-
draulically.
Fully portable single or two-skid-mounted design can be easily
installed or moved as required by lease production.
Features to look for in the
TRICO UNIDRAULIC
Reservoir Vessel
The vessel provides a source of power fluid to operate the system.
Vessel plumbing permits selection of produced oil or produced wa-
ter
as power fluid. The wells produced fluid volume is discharged di-
rectly to the flowline through a simple gravity dump level control sys-
tem. Standard vessel sizes are 60" x 10 and 60" x 20. Other sizes
are available on request.
Cyclone Cleaners
These condition the power fluid by removing solids and contami-
nants to provide clean power fluid.
By choosing the number of cyclones to provide maximum power
fluid conditioning, the system has an adequate clean power fluid
supply. The circulating pump assures that the power fluid passes
through the cyclones before reaching the Triplex or Multiplex Pump.
Power conditioning is controlled and constantnot dependent on
the variable flow rates from the well.
Circulating Pump
Provides optimum circulating rate through the cyclone cleaners.
Triplex or Multiplex Power Pump
Sized to provide high pressure power fluid for system operation. A
field-proven, dependable power pump for continuous-duty opera-
tion. For maximum flexibility, the Triplex or Multiplex Pump is offered
in a number of sizes from 25 H.P. to 630 H.P.
Single or Two-Skid Models
Single-skid models are available with electric motors as the prime
mover for the Triplex or Multiplex Pump. The two-skid units can be
equipped with electric, gas or diesel prime movers. With the two-
skid model, the reservoir vessel and the Triplex or Multiplex Pump
are mounted on their own separate skid base for maximum safety
and installation efficiency. The 60" x 20 vessel is only available as a
two-skid package. If necessary, both skids can be housed for foul
weather operation.

The Trico UNIDRAULIC Dual Vessel Power Fluid Cleaning
Unit consists of a complete power fluid cleaning system pack-
aged on a single skid for maximum convenience in transporting
and installing. All equipment and controls are fully connected,
ready for operation.
Cleaning System
The dual vessel cleaning system employs a vertical accumula-
tor vessel to supply fluid under pressure to the hydrocyclone
where solids are removed.
The cleaned power fluid is stored in a horizontal reservoir ves-
sel, also under pressure, to supply suction fluid to the plunger
pump.
Both vessels are ASME Coded and are internally coated with 18
mils of epoxy phenolic for corrosion protection. Each has an el-
liptical manway, sight glasses with automatic gage cocks and
pre-set relief valves.
All primary control valves and piping are flanged and of welded
construction.

Production Test Units

Trico's portable Production Test Unit is a field-proven package
for testing and evaluating the production levels for a specific
well. By acquiring as much accurate data as possible from the
tests, a determination can be made by Trico field personnel as to
the best type of artificial lift system for that well.
These trailer-mounted units are easily transported from one
wellsite to another, and are completely self-contained with all
necessary piping, valving and wellhead fittings. Trico Test Units
set up and tear down easily and require minimal operator atten-
tion.
Because climatic conditions vary around the world, Trico can
and has built Test Units to operate in the harsh environment of
Alaska's North Slope and the extreme heat conditions of the
Middle East.
Units are typically located throughout major oil producing areas
of the United States and are available on a rental basis. Contact
a Trico representative for information regarding availability in
your area.

equipment is in place and operating in the well. The Y tool, called
so because of its unique shape, provides a piping arrangement
which offsets the pump, allowing survey tools to go straight through
to the bottom of the well. Surveys are recorded without disturbing
the pumps' original function, even in directional wells drilled up to 75
degrees. The Y tool also provides a method of blanking off while
the well is in a normal producing mode or while a survey is in pro-
cess.
The Y tool is useful for production operators in a number of moni-
toring applications, including the location of excessive water or gas
entry from undesirable subzone contributors, tracking water and
gas cap movement within a production reservoir, and monitoring
pressures, temperatures and fluid levels.
The Crossover Assembly has four major components:
Crossover The original crossover assembly is designed to run in
8-5/8 inch or larger casing on 2-7/8 inch tubing. Smaller crossover
assemblies are available for operation on 7 inch-26 lb. casing and 2-
3/8 inch tubing. A 3 inch, 9-5/8 inch unit has also been developed to
accommodate 5-1/2 inch pumps and motors and the running of 1-
11/16 inch survey tools.
The crossover body is streamlined using non-upset tubing and has
no internal shoulders where survey tools can hang up. The straight
portion is made of heavy seamless tubing to prevent fluid cutout.
Each unit, after complete assembly, is hydraulically tested for leaks
to above 3,000 psi. The tool incorporates a seating nipple that
houses a stainless steel seating ring and is capable of accommo-

past the fluid port of the crossover assembly, allowing produced
fluid to keep the neck washed free of sand. The function of this plug
is to blank off the instrument port section while the well is pumping
normally.

except that a wire or recording line can be run through it. The lines
are normally 3/16 inches or 5/16 inches in size. A brass bushing in
