Abstract (en)

Techniques and apparatus are provided for stress calculations for sucker rod pumping systems. A method is provided for determining stress along a sucker rod string disposed in a wellbore. The method generally includes receiving, at a processor, measured rod displacement and rod load data for the sucker rod string, wherein the sucker rod string comprises a plurality of sections; and calculating stress values at a plurality of finite difference nodes for at least one of the plurality of sections based, at least in part, on the measured rod displacement and rod load data.
