Abstract
A progressing cavity pump has: a stator; a rotor; the rotor having a first axial operating position within the stator in which a first axial part of the rotor aligns with a first axial part of the stator to form an active pump section adapted to generate a pumping force on rotation of the rotor in the stator; the rotor having a second axial operating position within the stator in which the first axial part of the rotor aligns with a second axial part of the stator to form an active pump section adapted to generate a pumping force on rotation of the rotor in the stator. A related method is disclosed.
