Assembly and method of alternative pumping using hollow rods without tubing
First Claim
1. An assembly for extracting a fluid from a drilled well within a geological formation, which walls are secured by means of a casing that is drilled at pre-selected depth levels, the device comprising:
- a) a stationary bottom set configured to anchor to the casing for a deep well pump;
b) a deep well pump with reciprocating axial movement comprising a stationary member and a mobile member, an anchorage system in the bottom part, and a centralizer in the top part, the latter two being integral to the stationary member;
c) a series of interconnected hollow rods forming a string that extends within the well and is connected by its bottom end to the mobile member of the rod pump, such that the inside of the mobile member of the pump is in fluid communication with the interior of the hollow rod string;
d) a hollow polished rod that is connected by its bottom end to the free top end of the hollow rod string within the well, said polished rod being linked to a system that imparts a reciprocating axial movement;
e) a production bridge that links the top end of the hollow polished rod to the driving pipeline, which allows the recovery of the fluid pumped from the interior of the hollow rods and from said hollow polished rod; and
f) a rigid head providing a packing in the annular space between the polished rod and the casing, equipped with a hollow polished rod lubricating device.

Abstract
Assembly and method for extracting fluids, preferably crude oil, from a drilled well within a geological formation by means of reciprocating pumping with hollow sucker rods. The assembly includes: a) a stationary bottom set attached to the casing at the desired depth and providing the rod pump anchoring system; b) a reciprocating axial movement rod pump having an anchoring system and a centralizer; c) a centralized hollow rod string extending within the well, which is connected to the mobile member of the pump; d) a hollow polished rod connected to the hollow rod string and linked to a system that imparts the reciprocating axial movement to the pump; e) a production bridge connecting the polished rod to the driving tubing through rotating joints, and f) a rigid head that provides a venting exit of the annular space formed between the string and the casing.
