System and method for reducing friction, torque and drag in artificial lift systems used in oil and gas production wells
A method of lubricating a fluid production pump may include mixing a polarized lubricant with water to produce a diluted lubricant. The method may additionally include creating a flowpath within the fluid production pump. An initial volume of the diluted lubricant may be circulated within the flowpath to allow the diluted lubricant to react with components of the fluid production pump and form a protective barrier on the components of the fluid production pump. The method may further comprise repeatedly introducing a periodic volume of diluted lubricant into the fluid production pump according to a predefined lubrication schedule.

Production of cylinder oil
A method comprising providing a first fluid, second fluid, and third fluid having a first kinematic viscosity and a first BN, a second kinematic viscosity and a second BN, and a third kinematic viscosity and a third BN respectively, obtaining data identifying (i) a target kinematic viscosity of a cylinder oil to be produced, (ii) a target BN of the cylinder oil to be produced, and (iii) the kinematic viscosity and the BN of each of the first, second, and third fluids. Based on at least the identified kinematic viscosity and BN, the method comprises determining a ratio of first, second, and third fluid to produce a cylinder oil having a kinematic viscosity corresponding to the target kinematic viscosity and/or a BN corresponding to the target BN, and blending the first, second, and third fluids in the determined ratio to produce the cylinder oil.
