SentinAL™ Rod Pump Optimization Delivers Increased Production on Water Drive Wells
Challenge
Determine the optimal pumping rate to achieve maximum profitability from water drive wells
Solution
SentinAL - Orbital Traction’s mechanical variable speed drive for rod pumps provides automation, remote monitoring and matches well inflow to optimize production
Orbital Traction’s SentinAl rod pump drive delivered the most economical and accurate solution. After increasing the pumping rate speed to an optimal level, daily production was increased by 28% and 18% for the first two wells. ROI was determined by comparing the expense of the optimization service to the increased revenue resulting from the production uplift over one year.

“I am very impressed with SentinAL and the Orbital Traction team. The equipment performed better than advertised and the Orbital Traction support and crews were top-notch and very responsive.”
Logan Vineyard
Chief Operating Officer Remora Oil & Gas
As a mechanical, variable speed drive (VSD) design, each unit was temporarily placed between the electric motor and the primary sheeve to determine the optimal pumping rate for each well. Remote monitoring eliminated downtime and crew costs.
