Abstract
A hydraulic pumping method for use with a subterranean well can include mounting a hydraulic actuator above a wellhead, the hydraulic actuator and the wellhead being axially aligned with each other and inclined relative to vertical The hydraulic actuator can be unsupported by any substructure or guy wires after the mounting. A hydraulic pumping system for use with a subterranean well can include a hydraulic actuator including a piston that displaces in response to pressure in the actuator, a magnet that displaces with the piston, and a magnetic field sensor that detects a presence of the magnet. The hydraulic actuator may be mounted above a wellhead, with the hydraulic actuator and the wellhead being axially aligned with each other and inclined relative to vertical.
