Choices in Technology For Your Sucker Rod Needs

Weatherford Artificial Lift Systems offers premium quality, high-strength sucker rods with high and ultra-high load ratings

plus highly corrosion-resistant properties. These special chrome-moly/chrome-nickel alloy steel sucker rods are available

in 5/8, 3/4, 7/8, 1 and 1-1/8 inch diameters. All sizes are offered in 25 and 30 foot lengths. Each rod is heat treated,

and has pin ends machined, with API rolled threads.

EL®

ULTRA-HIGH-STRENGTH SUCKER RODS

Designed to provide an ultra-high load rating and successful corrosion-

resistant qualities, EL rods are Weatherford's premium line of high-strength coupled sucker rods. The exclusive induction case hardening

process incorporated into the manufacturing of these rods makes

them the ultimate fatigue-resistant sucker rod.

Ordinary sucker rods tend to fail from fatigue originating at the surface

under tension. The unique engineering of the EL rod puts it in a class

by itself. It has a thin compression layer at its surface that remains

under compression even under normal operating tensile loads. Since

the compressive pre-stress protects the surface from tensile stresses,

the chances of developing fatique cracks are greatly reduced.

Additionally, stringent quality control procedures employed with these

rods promote reliable and long service life.

Key Benefits• Energy saving through pumping with a lighter string with no

compromise in production

• Higher fluid production with existing pumping unit

• Reduction in the size of pumping unit with no reduction in production

• Use of smaller, more economical tubing

• Increased pump speeds for additional production

• Avoidance of more unconventional and expensive recovery

techniques

• Extended service life

Applications

Super high-load capacity in mild sweet (CO2) and sour (H2S) corrosiveenvironments. Satisfactory corrosion-inhibiting practices must be followed.

Specifications

• Special chrome-moly alloy steel

• Normalized, tempered, and induction case hardened

• Pin ends machined with API rolled threads

High-Strength Sucker Rods

QUENCHED AND TEMPERED SUCKER RODS

Designed for high strength and fatigue performance, the S88 rod

provides an intermediate step between the normalized Grade D andultra-high strength EL rod. These rods are manufactured with 3130M

Nickel-Chrome steel; they are quenched and tempered which results

in higher toughness and a finer grain structure, making them capable

of better fatigue resistance. For example, the quenched and tempered

rods typically have charpy impact results in the +70 ft. lb. range, while

normalized and tempered rods are typically in the 20 ft. lb. range. This

added toughness of the quenched and tempered rod provides the

added fatigue resistance needed in extreme applications.

S88 sucker rods are available in 5/8"*, 3/4", 7/8", 1" and 1 1/8"*

diameters. All sizes are available in 25-foot and 30-foot* lengths.


Sa = (T/2.8 + 0.375 Smin) SF

S87 API D rod is recommended for mild corrosive orinhibited wells; also recommended for CO2 wells (sweetcorrosive environments). Manufactured with 3130 modifiedalloy steel.

S67 API Grade D rod is recommended for

heavy duty pumping in non-corrosive or

inhibited wells. This economical high strength

rod is manufactured with 1029 modified

alloy steel.

Applications

Deep, highly loaded wells in mildly corrosive

environments provided satisfactory corrosion

inhibiting practices are followed.

Specifications

• Special chrome-nickel alloy steel (S88 and S87)

• Quenched and tempered

API GRADE RODSPI GRADE RODS

Weatherford API sucker rods are manufactured to API 11B specifications

and ISO 9001/API Q1 certified in one of the most modern facilities of

its type within the industry. These rods feature fully rolled, cold-formed

threads designed to provided a precise, smooth, reinforced thread

structure not attainable by normal machine-cut threads. Metal is displaced

rather than removed, and the resultant cold working strengthens the

thread root. Weatherford rods are cleaned by shot blasting to remove

any scale and oxidation, then liberally coated with rust inhibitors and

carefully palletized in bundles for safe transport and handling.

Pony Rods from Weatherford conform to appropriate

API classifications. They are manufacturedunder strict quality standards and fromthe same alloy steels assucker rods.

T66/XD SUCKER RODS

The T66/XD is an extremely dependable rod designed for high-strength

service and provides an intermediate step between the Grade D and

ultra-high-strength EL rod.

These rods are manufactured with 4138M chrome-moly steel, making

them capable of handling the toughest stresses. The special alloy

steel provides more resistance to sulfide stress cracking than AISI

4337 nickel-chrome-moly steel used in older generation high-strength

sucker rods.

The metallurgical makeup of the T66/XD sucker rods is checked

continually for quality assurance. Rods are forged, normalized, and

tempered, shot blasted, and pins precision machined and roll-threaded.

This continuous in-process inspection confirms that only the finest

sucker rods bear the Weatherford name.

Applications

Deep, highly loaded wells in mildly corrosive environments provided

satisfactory corrosion inhibiting practices are followed.

Weatherford Grade “T” and “SM” sucker rod couplings are

manufactured to strict quality control standards from high

strength alloy steel and conform to API Specification 11B.

The threads of these couplings are cold form-rolled produced

by displacement of material rather than by removal of material

as in the cut thread. Rolling the thread results in a compressive

stress at the root of the thread, giving maximum strength to the

traditional weak point of cut thread couplings.

Weatherford sprayed metal couplings have a corrosion resistant

surface with a low coefficient of friction that reduces wear on

the tubing and the coupling. This coupling is recommended for

deviated wells.

Weatherford couplings are available in Standard O.D., oversized

and Slim Hole configurations in sizes of 5 ⁄ 8” through 1-1 ⁄ 8”.
