This study examines the impact of fluid loading on the performance of Sucker Rod Pump (SRP), specifically analyzing Stroke Per Minute (SPM) variations. Conducted at a simulation well in Taman Museum Geoteknologi Mineral, UPN ^Veteran^ Yogyakarta, the research evaluates how different fluid loads affect SRP efficiency. With a constant fluid load of 1.5 liters, varying SPM values were observed: 12, 11, and 10. The data reveals that as fluid loading increases, the SPM decreases, indicating a reduction in the pump^s operational speed and efficiency. The results highlight SRP^s ability to adjust to different fluid loads, ensuring consistent and effective production performance. This adaptability is crucial for maintaining optimal operation in field applications, particularly in conditions where fluid loading can vary. These findings contribute to optimizing SRP performance and enhancing production stability across diverse operational scenarios.
