Abstract
A pumping unit base and methods for producing oil and gas with the pumping unit base. The pumping unit base may include a plurality of driven piles installed in the ground, and a metal platform fixedly attached to the plurality of driven piles, wherein the metal platform is positioned above the ground. The metal platform may be removed from the driven piles and reinstalled to the driven piles.
Claims18
A pumping system, comprising:
- a pumping unit base, comprising:
- a plurality of driven piles installed in a ground, each pile having a first pile end;
- a splice assembly for each pile, wherein the splice assembly is connected to the first pile end after the pile has been installed in the ground, wherein each splice assembly comprises:
- a ring attached to an outer diameter of the respective pile;
- and
- a disk attached to the ring;
- and
- a metal platform having a plurality of tubulars, wherein each tubular has a first tubular end, wherein the splice assembly is connected to the first tubular end, wherein the tubular is attached to the respective disk at an outer diameter of the tubular.
