The unique patented design allows
easy retrieval of the pump from deviated and horizontal wells. Retrieval of the
pump from the hole for replacement of the nozzle or expansion tube is done by
manipulation of the surface valves and reverse circulation of fluid with the
existing production equipment (plunger pump). No wire line, pulling unit or work
over rig is required. These features plus the larger flow area, direct fluid
flow path allowing high production volumes give the NCPC a marked advantage over
existing designs of jet pumps and other types of artificial lift like an
electric submersible pump (or ESP). The small size
of the portion of the pump retrieved, referred to as "the carrier", is 6.5
inches to 8.5 inches in length, making it very attractive to clients with highly
deviated or horizontal wells which require artificial lift both on land and
offshore.

Oil Jet Pump Features:
Smallest Jet Pump in the
oil industry
- perfect for small hole drilling (aka micro hole & slim hole).
High Flow Capacity – although small in physical size, this jet pump allows
higher production rates due to low internal pressure drop.
No moving parts.
Enhances New Completion Technology – the small size allows use in slim
hole completions, highly deviated wells and horizontal applications.
Efficient Installation and Handling – no large lubricators or hoist
requirements for installation or retrieval.
Simple – only five parts in the
entire pump assembly.
