Abstract
An improved power fluid driven turbo pump is provided for pumping oil wells of the type having, from time-to-time, significant quantities of gas included in the oil so that wide variations in the density of the medium to be pumped may be expected to be encountered. Two separate pumping units driven by the same power fluid are employed, one of which is designed to efficiently compress and pump gas, and the other is designed to efficiently pump normal density fluids. Since the pumps are disposed in series, the combined efficiency of the pumps is substantially unchanged due to changes in density of the fluid to be pumped and remains at a uniformly high level.
