Hydraulic pumping is a proven artificial lift method that has been used since the early 1930s. It offers several different systems for handling a variety of well conditions. Successful applications have included setting depths ranging from 500 to 19,000 ft and production rates varying from less than 100 to 20,000 B/D. Surface packages are available using multiplex pumps ranging from 15 to 625 hp. The systems are flexible because the downhole-pumping rate can be regulated over a wide range with fluid controls on the surface. Chemicals to control corrosion, paraffin, and emulsions can be injected downhole with the power fluid, while fresh water can also be injected to dissolve salt deposits. When pumping heavy crudes, the power fluid can serve as an effective diluent to reduce the viscosity of the produced fluids. [http://petrowiki.org/Hydraulic_pumping Read more....]

How to Get Started
Search box: Use the search box at upper right to find content of interest.
  • The Petroleum Engineering Handbook page and SPE's Taxonomy page are great places to look for specific content in an area of interest. These options are always available on the navigation on the left side of the screen.

Glossary: Use the Glossary to find terms and definitions. Glossary If searching for a specific term please type in "Glossary:" before the desired term in the search box.

  • To add a glossary term or update an existing one, please visit the Glossary category page for instructions on how to submit your term or changes.

Help: Use the Help to locate guides, videos, and slideshows to explain editing.

Suggested additions:

  • New and emerging concepts
  • Utilize your expertise to review, update, and enhance the quality of existing content
  • Adding links to good papers in OnePetro and elsewhere is a great way to enrich existing content pages.
  • Creation of pages about specific fields are welcome. Knowing the basics of the reservoir and how the field was developed over time can provide valuable information to others. (See Prudhoe_Bay_field and Kuparuk River field

Things to know:

Edit Toolbar:

  • The visual editor toolbar supports text formatting, such as bold, italics, and underlining.
  • Documents can also include page formatting options, such as numbered/bullet lists, and indentations.
  • See also the basic wikitext editor WikiText toolbar.

Adding OnePetro Papers:

  • Adding OnePetro articles to PetroWiki will assist industry professionals in finding relevant answers to technical questions.
  • Read more...


Content categorization - SPE has finalized a technical taxonomy that is being used in PetroWiki, OnePetro, and other SPE content.

What is PetroWiki?

PetroWiki was created from the seven volume Petroleum Engineering Handbook (PEH) published by the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE). PetroWiki preserves the PEH content in unaltered form (page names that start with PEH:), while allowing SPE's membership to update and expand content from the published version. Pages that do not have PEH: at the beginning may have started with content from the PEH, but have been modified over time by contributors to the wiki. Disclaimer

Unlike some other online wikis, PetroWiki content is copyright SPE. For information about using content from PetroWiki, see PetroWiki:Permissions.
