Lufkin Automation and Theta Enterprises form technology partnership

Rod pump control technology now integrated with automation software for oil and gas production optimization.  Lufkin Automation and Theta Enterprises have announced a technology partnership to integrate and enhance their best-of-breed technologies for rod pumping systems control, surveillance, diagnostic analysis and automation.  

The partnership combines Lufkin’s SAM™ rod pump controller with Theta’s XSPOC smart automation software. “Nothing in the industry can compare to this combined technology for return on investment,” says Andy Cordova, marketing manager at Lufkin Automation. “We’ve brought together the best technologies and easiest-to-use systems in one complete solution.”          

The SAM rod pump controller calculates the downhole card internally for accurate control, and provides diagnostic data with every stroke. XSPOC performs additional analysis and efficiently communicates to the SAM Well Manager. The combination offers significant well optimization benefits beyond conventional rod pump controller systems.  

“This solution will be marketed jointly by Lufkin and Theta as a complete package,” says John G. Svinos, founder and president of Theta. “It’s going to take optimization and automation to the next level for our oil and gas customers. “
