Abstract
Technology continually drives forward, enabling operators to produce assets more efficiently and strategically. From routine well remediation to multi-stage, multi-zone isolation for hydraulic fracturing (and refracturing), expandable technology is proving to be an economical, value-based solution in a broad range of applications.
Its combination with other technology such as shape charged or hydra-jet perforating, pumped in plugs, coiled tubing, and multi-stage fracturing is maximizing stimulation programs and helping operators dramatically increase production in new and existing wellbores.
With more than 1,100 installations in the past ten years, solid expandable technology advancements have achieved industry-wide recognition through execution excellence and high reliability as successful commercial and technical solutions for production enhancement.

Abstract

In order to effectively optimize Rod Pumping wells one must incorporate a solution that includes controllers and a set of software tools that equips the engineer to make good optimization decisions.  This talk will introduce the audience to dynacard analysis and a set of software tools to help the engineer manage and optimize rod pumping wells.  Real-life well analysis and case studies will be provided.
