PCP

PCP is an abbreviation of 'Progressive Cavity Pump'. This is used for artificially lifting a well where the reservoir does not have enough energy to flow naturally. PCP creates negative pressure forcing the fluid to move up. PCP has been found to be useful for extracting high-viscosity crude oil. PCPs do not perform well in deeper and deviated wells.
