Computer Analysis New Computerized Analysis Aids Pumping of Deviated Wells A computerized analysis service is now available to the operators  of deviated pumping wells. It is designed to help reduce rod and  tubing wear and increase pumping efficiency. Operators are asked to provide a directional survey and answers  to 12 questions: pump size and depth, stroke length, strokes per  minute, etc. The analysis shows the rod load-weight plus drag or friction - by  well depth increments. If the rod string is underdesigned, the  analysis may suggest changes in rod sizes and types.  Also it may make recommendations for the centralization of the  rod and string at strategic well points - including the use of scrapers,  molded-on and/or clamp-on rod guides, and Wheeled Rod Guide Couplings.
