Abstract (en)

A well pumping system can include an actuator that reciprocably displaces a rod string, a continuous position sensor that continuously detects a position of a member of the actuator, and a control system that modifies reciprocal displacement of the rod string by the actuator, in response to an output of the continuous position sensor. A well pumping method can include reciprocably displacing a rod string, continuously detecting a velocity profile with a continuous position sensor, and modifying the velocity profile while the rod string reciprocably displaces, in response to an output of the continuous position sensor.
