Abstract

See full text

Described are methods, systems, and computer readable media for adjusting the speed control of a pump assembly. The method can include the steps of setting the speed of a first stroke of the pump assembly to a first value and setting the speed of a second stroke of the pump assembly to a second value, modifying the speed of the first stroke while the pump is engaged in an upstroke, and modifying the speed of the second stroke while the pump is engaged in a downstroke through manual or automatic configuration processes. The computer readable medium can include an application that can be adapted to execute instructions that can configure the upstrokes and downstroke of the pump. Through these automatic or manual configuration parameters, a linear pump can execute fully configurable multiple speed settings within a stroke on the pump assembly, thus increasing the pump's efficiency irrespective of pump fillage. The methods and systems described herein are applicable to a variety of pump assemblies, including linear rod pumps, hydraulic rod pumps, artificial lift systems, and the like.
