Question 11: A pumpjack can be operated with a lot less power and a much smaller gearbox if the effect of the wellbore load is countered. On the downstroke, the sucker rods and pump help:
A - Lower the counterbalance B - Eliminate the counterbalance C - Lift the counterbalance D - None of the above _______________________________________________
Question 12: Before starting any maintenance work on a pumpjack, always: A - Lock out the power source B - Ensure the pumpjack is operating C - Feel the jack for any unnecessary vibration D - Ensure you have the proper tools at hand _______________________________________________
Question 13: The walking beam of a conventional pumpjack pivots on the:
A - Sampson post B - Saddle bearing C - Pitman arms D - Horse's head _______________________________________________
Question 14: An artificial lift system is required to bring the wellbore fluid to surface when there is:
A - Water in the oil B - A gas cap in the reservoir preventing the fluid from moving to the surface C - Insufficient reservoir pressure to move the fluid to the surface D - Sufficient reservoir pressure to move the fluid to the surface _______________________________________________
Question 15: There are many types of pumpjacks that use hydraulic cylinders rather than gearboxes. The most common use for these units is in:
A - Oil sands operations B - Shallow, low productivity wells C - Transmission pipelines D - Heavy oil fields _______________________________________________
Question 16: The type of pumpjack that has its Sampson post located at the back of the jack and the gearbox in the middle is known as the:
A - Lufkin Mark II pumpjack unit B - Air balanced pumpjack unit C - Beam balanced pumpjack unit D - Conventional pumpjack unit
_______________________________________________
Question 17: On a pumpjack, gearbox torque equals the:
A - Well load torque minus the counterbalance torque B - Well load torque plus the counterbalance torque C - Wellhead pressure plus the counterbalance torque D - Wellhead pressure minus the counterbalance torque _______________________________________________
Question 18: Pumpjack gear box torque is the instantaneous torque for a given crank angle and is typically rated in:

Question 19: Torque is expressed as:
A - distance x area B - distance x force C - mass x acceleration D - force x area _______________________________________________
Question 20: The advantages of the Lufkin Mark II pumpjack configuration is:
A - It can be used in heavier viscosity oil wells B - The use of an air cylinder makes it easier to adjust the balance of the jacks C - The rods travel slower on the upstroke than on the downstroke so torque is more even D - All of the above _______________________________________________
Question 21: A dynamometer is used to measure the ______________ in relation to the _________________ of the pumpjack during the pumping cycle.
A - well load, counterbalance B - well load, stroke position C - string load, counterbalance D - string load, stroke position _______________________________________________
Question 22: If you are in doubt about the location of the lubrication points, or the recommended frequency of service on a particular pumpjack, the best source of information is:
A - The API designation B - The manufacturer's manual C - A senior operator D - The oil company's field office _________________________________________________________________________________________________
