Rod Pump Analysis and Optimization

This course will cover the use of automation and host software to monitor, analyze, and optimize a sucker rod pumping system. Discussion will include the operation and configuration of rod pump controllers and variable speed drives, key operating parameters, and how those parameters change under varying well conditions. This information is used with dynamometer cards to analyze well performance and determine the appropriate optimization steps. This course is intended for lease operators, well analysts, lift specialists, production engineers, and any other personnel involved in the operation of sucker rod pumping wells.
