Paper: Sucker-Rod Pumping Unit Lightning Protection

I am not going to announce a new break through to end all POC failures. If you want to hear God laugh, tell him about your new 10-year plan or solution to end all lightning damage. My goal today is to show some incremental steps we have taken to reduce costs and improve reliability. This is a preliminary report. This is not mature technology tested with a large number of devices through many storm seasons. Some background is needed for perspective.
