← TechnologyWithin a hydraulic fracturing pump, which risk increases when piston seals degrade at high cycle rates?
A)Increased proppant flowback
B)Accelerated rod cavitation damage✓
C)Reduced formation permeability
D)Elevated wellhead pressure spikes
💡 Explanation
Accelerated rod cavitation damage increases because seal failure allows fluid ingress into the cylinder, causing vapor bubble formation and collapse during piston strokes, therefore rod erosion intensifies, rather than affecting wellbore properties directly.
