Production insights, field guides, and operator wisdom from the team that built the fastest-growing app in the oil patch.
Wells have three basic stages of production, the first or primary stage, the secondary stage, and the tertiary stage. Each stage is distinguished by the type and variety of recovery methods used. The

Read more →In any oil and gas production operation, the goal is to recover as much oil as possible while keeping operating costs as low as possible. As technology has advanced and the the demand for oil has incr
Read more →Pressure gauges are an essential, if delicate, measuring tool for oil and gas production. Flow lines, separators, and even atmospheric vessels like stock tanks are all under some amount of pressure. G
Read more →It doesn’t matter what type of mechanical lift system you use; it will use some sort of pump configurations for transferring the hydrocarbons from the well to the surface. While there are several styl
Read more →When operating oil & gas wells, there are a variety of requirements to keep in mind when converting a flowing well to one utilizing a mechanical pumping configuration. For example, in order to extract
Read more →Drilling and producing a well requires constant oil well testing of many different kinds. The weight and quality of the oil has to be tested, as well as the amount of water and gas produced. Some test
Read more →It may come as a surprise, many of the lively oil wells in the world are only slightly producing wells converted to artificial lift systems. In fact, the portion of wells using mechanical lifts is so
Read more →Testing wells is an essential part of any pumping operation. Whether it’s oil well testing to be eventually input into your oil and gas production allocation software or a simple well tests sheet, you
