This paper presents a comprehensive approach to the design and optimization of sucker rod pumps using Prosper software, a leading tool in artificial lift design. Sucker rod pumps are widely used in the oil and gas industry for lifting fluids from wells, and their efficiency is crucial for maximizing production rates and minimizing operational costs. The study outlines a systematic methodology for modeling sucker rod pump systems, focusing on key parameters such as pump design, operating conditions, and reservoir characteristics. Using Prosper, various design scenarios were simulated to evaluate the performance of different pump configurations and operational strategies. The results highlight the importance of optimizing sucker rod pump parameters, including stroke length, rod diameter, and pump efficiency, to enhance overall performance. This research aims to provide industry professionals with valuable insights and tools for improving sucker rod pump design, ultimately contributing to more efficient and cost-effective oil extraction processes.
