“More accurate and cost effective
than just site visits and volume
testing!” says savvy production
tech with 20 years experience.
“Any well worth pumping is worth
the investment of a wellhead
manager.” “Pumping wells
without wellhead managers is
simply barbaric!” says a Canadian
production engineer who ran the
same Alberta field before and after
installation of DrSCADA wellhead
managers.

We manufacture and support wellhead managers for beam pump optimization and
simpler applications. Field service is provided by instrumentation & electrical firms near
your oilfield, or your own technicians. Our goal is to help oil companies monitor, control
and operate their wells with greater business efficiency - to reduce risk & opcost, and
increase net revenue.

DrSCADA wellhead manager with VFD driving 640 pumpjack.
A DrSCADA wellhead
manager can protect
your rod string with
shutdowns for high and
low loads. The same
shutdowns can protect
the gearbox and the
structure from
excessive loading.
It can also detect
and avoid fluid or gas
pound, and duty cycle a
single speed pumpjack
to run with a full pump,
or can give speed control
to a VFD to pump faster
or slower as may be
required. It can also
monitor shutdown
devices, like pressure
switches, stuffing
box leak detectors, and H2S sensors, and monitor multiple analog pressures. It can also manage a
pressure PID loop to avoid excessive flowline pressure. What else would you like?

Tank Gauging and Remote Updates
Often
wells
are
too
far
away
or
too
sparse
to
be
connected
to
flow
lines
to
a
battery.
Instead
they
produce
to
tanks,
and
the
fluid
is
hauled
to
a
battery
by
trucks.
Would
you
like
to monitor that by radio, or by cellular link?
Before
the
fluid
is
removed
from
your
tanks,
would
you
like
to
know
how
much
fluid
is
there,
and
how
much
is
oil,
and
how
much is water?
Would
you
like
to
know
how
much
was
taken
by
the
truck,
using
your
own
measurements?
Would
you
like
to
know
at
the
time,
when
fluid
is
being
removed
from
your tanks?
How
about
a
display
system
that
shows
you
in
colour
what
is
in
your
tanks,
and
texts
you
when
the
tank
is
ready
for
a
truck,
or
when
the
truck
is
late,
or
when
you
have
a shutdown because the tank is full?
How
about
using
a
system
that
texts
you
when
fluid
is
being
removed
from
your
tank,
whether
it
is
a
truck
you
called,
or
one
you
did
not
call,
or
even
a
leak,
that
is
taking
fluid
out?
How
about
a
system
that
texts
you
how
much
oil
and
water
were
taken?
If
that
sounds
attractive,

Here is a dynamometer plot…. and here are three screen shots of the video clip…
I did not publish the THUNK
when the cables go loose, but it
is certainly there in the audio!
I think you might call that
obstruction downhole!! This is a
classic case of where a low area
fault is a good shutdown to
make use of, and why it should
not be restartable except by an
operator.
Cell phone texting might not give the highest
graphics resolution available, but you sure get
the required message quick!
