Target Audience This presentation is designed for owners, production engineers, well analysts, field foremen, superintendents, and anyone wanting to better understand how RPCs can help them optimize field operation of rod pumped wells. The Presentation Rod pump controllers (RPCs) can reduce electrical costs, reduce down time, and increase production. Fields have used this technology to reduce electrical costs by 30 percent. Additionally, failures have been reduced by 20-25 percent or more and production increased as much as 3 percent. This presentation will help the producer understand how rod pump controllers can help them decrease operational costs and/or increase production for a well, and will include the various types of controllers. The iBEAM will be displayed at the presentation, and data will be presented on how its comprehensive design and low price provides a quick payout on the small investment.
