Desktop Intelligence with the Rod Pumping Solution

Weatherford provides state of the art software for total field automation and optimization. The LOWIS Software enables the user to monitor, analyze, control, and design rod pumping systems. Through its advanced analysis capabilities, the user is able to do downhole analysis, card pattern matching, and receive diagnostic reports. These features allow the user to optimize the operation of every well and identify probable future problems.

Weatherford provides software for both analyzing and designing rod-pumped systems. The software allows use of the surface dynamometer card to calculate a downhole pump card and provide other diagnostic data such as gearbox torque, rod stress, pump efficiency, electrical cost, etc. The downhole analysis is then used to create diagnostic reports to guide the user in optimization. This information is for well analysis, well optimization, and system design changes.

By combining RPCs and/or VFDs with the analytical software, you can put together a complete optimization/ automation solution. The software remotely collects data from the RPC and VFD. This data is analyzed and presented in a format that quickly alerts you to immediate problems, but more importantly to potential problems that can be addressed before they manifest themselves into expensive repairs. Using a communication system that best fits the situation allows real-time information and analysis to be available 24 hours per day. The real-time analysis provides a solution to optimize well production efficiently.
