Put your detective hat on and guess the peculiar occurrence disrupting the normal operation of the pump.
What's the anomaly in this image?
That is the wrong answer
The correct answer was: WORN PUMP
A worn pump in a rod lift system occurs when critical components like valves, plungers, or barrels degrade due to prolonged use or improper maintenance. This wear reduces the pump's efficiency in moving fluids, causing irregularities in the dynacard shape. A typical indicator in a dynacard pattern for a worn pump involves a decreased peak load and rounded edges that highlights reduced pump performance.
