  • what does parted rods mean

  • @MegaLilkeith

    The rods are connected to the pumping unit at the surface and the down hole pump at the other end. Any part of the rod string that breaks apart is considered a parted rod.

  • What is a parted rod?

  • dunno why but they are creepy^^

  • ITS SNORING!

  • Oh, okay now I get it. There was no weight pulling the head down cause the rods were parted down below, yeah? That's why it whips Upward like that. I admire you guys for doing this kind of stuff. It's deadly, Iron has no soul. I was raised in an oil patch in south central kansas. What fun. Leonardo Da Vinci was a brilliant man.

  • When you use a gas engin to power a pumping unit you might get a fire from the well if the part was at the packing and the rod fell below the packing you could get a leak

  • ok let me ask you a silly question.... when the rod parted, they get all the other rods out to determine how far is it down, how do you get the other rod out of that well? (sounds like i am being a idiot for asking that question, but just curious)

  • not at all. after you pull the rods above the part you use a fishing tool that slide over the parted rod and as you pull back out

    the slips on the fishing tool will grab the rod and you pull the rest of the rods out.

    But if that wont work you pull the pipe till you get to the parted rod

  • Does it waste a lot of product? Could someone describe (just how exactly) detrimental this is? Could it cause an above ground leak? an engine explosion?

  • parted rods happen from wear rubbing agiasnt the tubing, its why they have scrappers or too much stretch or corrosion, fishing sucks i work rigs in canada same shit everywherr

  • Looks like its real weight heavy.

  • Correct. It had parted rods. Took the video when I  pulled up before shutting it down.

  • Yeah, seems like it was "Wound for sound"

  • is that a parkersburg unit?

  • It is a Heston Sentry pumpjack. 320-256-100

  • powerful little engine to handle that load

  • The engine is a Ford 300 powered on natural gas.
