FluidLevels

Guess the stroke length

Things they didn’t teach in engineering school…

How many hands it take to put a wellhead back together?

Everybody wants to sell “optimization.”
But a bad fluid level survey can cost an operator tens of thousands of dollars.

There’s a lot of companies out there shooting fluid levels. Truth is, this is one of the simplest and most effective tests you can run on a well… IF it’s done right.

From one acoustic survey, you can gather:

• Pump intake pressure
• Static bottom hole pressure
• Gas interference indicators
• Fluid level above pump
• Production optimization insights
• Potential failure indicators

That little shot can influence major operational decisions.

But here’s the problem…

Too many people buy the equipment, throw somebody in the field with zero training, and start collecting bad data.

I remember what my first forman told me.

S.I.S.O - bad data in, bad data out.

Then the operator makes expensive decisions based on numbers that were wrong from the start.

Wrong POC adjustments.
Wrong pump recommendations.
Unnecessary workovers.
Lost production.
Wasted money.

In this business, accuracy matters.

If you’re gonna hire somebody to run fluid levels on your wells, make sure they know what they’re doing with that equipment.

Good data makes money.
Bad data costs money.
