SROD 6.0 for Microsoft Windows®
The
ultimate system design technology
Decades
of well analysis experience are incorporated into Lufkin’s design
and diagnostic software for rod pumping systems.
SROD,
our design and predictive software, can handle deviated wellbores - critical to design and analysis since few wells have perfectly vertical
wellbores. A deviated well with rod-tubing drag and downhole friction
problems can cause severe equipment wear, overloading, imbalance,
power loss and rod buckling. SROD has the superior mathematical models
to correctly identify and solve these problems. The design and
predictive power of SROD provides the ultimate solution for designing
new installations.

SROD
6.0 for Windows is the most comprehensive, powerful, and accurate
software for the design and prediction of sucker rod pumping systems.
The program, developed for use on the PC (desktop and network),
features the latest technologies for rod pumping design and
optimization and easy-to-use interface for quick data entry, powerful
reports, and standard HTML help system. It includes the other updated
programs such as CBal, PumpC, Pump Animation, and SROD Animation. With
an easy data entry, SROD comes up with the accurate solutions in
optimizing rod string designs, balancing pumping unit, finding out
pumping speed for a desired production, designing a proper motor size,
and even recommending pumping unit size for you in just a few seconds
for most cases. It is an easy-to-use tool for a novice to walk through
the design, while keeping the technical data and sophisticated
features available for the expert user to review.
