Abstract

An oil field pump is installed within a pipe that connects to an oil field, and feeds accumulated extraction oil in a predetermined direction. The oil field pump includes a rotor with an impeller, a stator installed on the outer circumferential of the rotor and that forms a flow path for passing the extraction oil between the stator and the rotor and that includes a diffuser on the downstream side of the impeller, a static pressure bearing device installed between the rotor and the stator and that supports the load in the radial direction, and a supply flow path that supplies, to the static pressure bearing device, a portion of the extraction oil flowing along the inner side in the radial direction of the path.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An oil field pump installed within a pipe that connects to an oil field, the oil field pump being configured to feed accumulated extraction oil in a predetermined direction, the oil field pump comprising:
a rotor installed with a plurality of impellers installed along an axial direction of the rotor;
a stator installed on an outer circumference of the rotor so as to form a flow path for passing the extraction oil between the stator and the rotor, the stator including a diffuser on a downstream side of the impeller;
one static pressure bearing device installed between the rotor and the stator, the one static pressure bearing device supporting a load in a radial direction; and
a supply flow path that supplies, to the one static pressure bearing device, a portion of the extraction oil flowing along an inner side in the radial direction of the flow path,
wherein the one static pressure bearing device is installed further downstream than the impellers, and
wherein the supply flow path is formed in the interior of the rotor.

2. The oil field pump according to claim 1 , wherein the one static pressure bearing device is installed between the diffuser and the rotor.
