Futuristic Artificial Intelligence Rod Pumping System Design Software

XROD-V is the fastest way to get superb rod pumping system designs (typically A+ or A design scores) with minimum effort. This new program uses sophisticated Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques to provide you with the most accurate and best designs for non-deviated rod pumping systems (RODSTAR-D is now available for deviated wells). XROD-V makes it very easy and incredibly fast to design a new rod pumping system, or to simulate an existing one.

Recent comparative tests have shown that XROD-V can generate an optimum design 10 to 50 times faster than can be done using RODSTAR. In addition, the designs generated with XROD-V were better than those created by most users using the standard RODSTAR run-review-run method.

With XROD-V you simply enter the pump depth and a “target” production (or IPR data) and have the program automatically calculate the complete system design (spm, plunger type and size, tubing size, pumping unit size and stroke length, rod string including sinker bars, and motor size). This is done for all the pumping unit types you want to consider. Or, you can select to only use units in your inventory.

 

IPR integration allows you to have XROD-V calculate the target production from pump intake pressure or fluid level, or to calculate the pump intake pressure from a target production or entered spm. XROD-V can produce great system designs for up to eight pumping unit types in seconds and automatically summarizes the results in an easy to use and customizable Excel spreadsheet. XROD-V automatically runs in “batch” mode with a run for each pumping unit type you want to consider. Also, XROD-V “learns” from its own runs and gets faster over time. XROD-V never “forgets” these improved designs. XROD scores its own designs and the designs you enter yourself (A, B, C, D, F). You can easily modify the designs XROD recommends and can save the recommended designs as individual RODSTAR-V files. If you enter your own design and get a low score, the program makes recommendations for improving your design.

Concise Output Report

Concise Output Report

XROD-V uses a new improved output report that looks the same on the screen as on the printer. All calculated results are on one summary page. A seperate page lists recommendations for improving a user entered design.

AI and Non-AI Modes

AI and Non-AI Modes

XROD-V has a button you can click on to swich into or out of AI mode. In AI mode, the program recommends complete system designs for up to eight pumping unit manufacturers. In the non-AI mode you can use it just like RODSTAR-V. It comes with a huge pumping unit data base (with about 4000 units) that includes data for most new and old pumping units. Also, you can enter your own pumping unit dimensions and you can customize the list of units to only show units you have.

RODSTAR-V And More

All the features of RODSTAR-V and a lot more

XROD has all the capabilities of RODSTAR-V plus new features such as automatic sinker bar design (automatically selects the diameter and length needed).

After you analyze a system with RODDIAG or XDIAG, you can load the RODDIAG or XDIAG file into XROD-V. Then, you can overlay the measured dynamometer card on the predicted dynamometer card plot. When you license XROD, you also get RODSTAR-D.

User Friendly

Incredibly User Friendly

XROD-V for Windows has an improved user interface that is very easy to use. It contains help for each input parameter and for all program features. It displays recommendations and warnings to help you avoid mistakes or to improve your system design score. With XROD-V you can enter everything yourself (using the non-AI mode), or have the program automatically design your pumping systems in seconds.

Customizable Defaults

User Customizable Defaults

XROD-V allows you to select English, SI (Metric), or Canadian (mix of English and Metric), units. You can save time by specifying values that usually do not change such as: your company name, electricity cost, standard sucker rod length, tubing size, pump type, rod and pumping unit costs, etc.

XROD also allows you to specify the parameters it uses when running in AI mode such as the type of high strength rods to use, the pumping unit manufacturers to consider, the type of fiberglass and sinker bars to use, etc.
