A well has ¾ in of sucker rod and 21/2 in tubing with a specific gravity of the produced fluid of 0.7. The pump speed is 15rpm and the plunger is 2in diameter with polished    rod string length of 64in. Assuming a well pump is set at 3100ft, calculate the power required for the prime mover if the surface tubing pressure is 100psia and the fluid level in annulus is 200ft above the pump. (Take the weight of sucker rod = 5868lbm and Sp = 52.5).
