Hydraulic Jet Pumps are the simplest, but probably the most poorly understood (please see our Jet Pumps FAQ page), of all downhole artificial lift devices. They involve no moving parts. Consequently they are, inherently, the most reliable of all artificial lift methods.

 

PTC offers a family of nominal 3 ½" Hydraulic  Jet Pumps, with a full range of throat and nozzle combinations, capable of producing in excess of 25000 b/d production.

 

The PTC pumps can also be supplied with integral SSSV’s, which are actuated by power fluid pressure. These can provide a primary deep-set well integrity barrier, when the power fluid is depressurised.

 

In common with all other PTC equipment, our Jet Pumps have been designed from a “clean sheet of paper”. As a result, the flow path geometries are optimised for maximum pump efficiency and the materials used in the nozzle and throat (tungsten carbide) are optimised for pump longevity.
