Abstract
<jats:p>Working characteristics of wellhead borehole well pumps are discussed in the article. The oil extraction method using wellhead borehole well pumps is called the deep-water pumping method. The deep-water pumping method is considered the main mechanized method widely used in oil fields. Examples of the main factors that determine the essence and importance of this mining method are the volume of production, the type and quantity of equipment used in the process, and the number of wells equipped with such equipment. The method of deep-water pumping is considered the least productive method. In addition, this method requires a large amount of manual labor. Therefore, the method of deep-water pumping is considered the most time-consuming method. Despite all these disadvantages, the method of deep-water pumping has retained its importance in the oil industry from ancient times to the present day. The main reason for this is the simplicity of the construction of the rod deep-water pump, the simplicity of the maintenance performed by the workforce, as well as the simplicity of the principle of its operation. The fact that the majority of operating oil wells have a small flow rate can be considered the most important indicator of the high degree of effectiveness of the deep-water borehole well pump method. The article is mainly devoted to the study of frictional forces acting on the pressure of the balancing load during the operation of rod deep-water pumps. The main tasks include the study of rod deep-water pumps and the identification of problems that arise during their operation, the determination of the role and nature of the friction force among these problems, then the identification of malfunctions caused by all these problems, and, finally, the determination of the optimal solution for the elimination of these and all other similar problems and malfunctions. Keywords: borehole well pump, deep-water pump method, rocking machines.</jats:p>
