Routine Well Diagnostics & Baseline Surveillance
Fast, non-intrusive, and accurate well optimization data. We deploy fully wireless Echometer equipment to deliver the baseline acoustic fluid levels, quick dynamometer surveys, and regulatory testing you need to optimize field performance and stay AER compliant.
Why Outsource Your Routine Surveillance?
Producers often assume that having internal operators shoot fluid levels saves money. In reality, relying on overstretched staff is a hidden cost.
- Unmatched Speed: Because our dedicated technicians shoot wells every single day using wireless remote-fire gas guns and transducers, we complete field-wide surveys 3 to 4 times faster than internal staff. Let your operators focus on keeping the field running.
- Immediate ROI: "Analysis Before Action" is a proven economic strategy. If our routine review identifies just 0.1 m³ of hidden daily production, or prevents one unnecessary rig call, the entire survey pays for itself immediately.
Accurate Acoustic Fluid Levels using Wireless Echometer Technology.
Our routine acoustic fluid level surveys provide an instant snapshot of your well's operating conditions without shutting down production or pulling equipment.
What We Measure:
- Pump Intake Pressure (PIP): We use accurate fluid level determination to calculate the exact Pump Intake Pressure, telling you exactly how hard the pump is pulling on the formation.
- Annular Gas Flow & Separator Efficiency: By measuring casing pressure and annular gradients over time, we calculate the gas flow rates up the annulus. This proves whether your downhole gas separator is working effectively or if gas is inefficiently being dragged into the pump.
- Pump-Off Confirmation: We quickly verify if a well is pumped off so you can confidently adjust timer settings or slow down wells saving you expensive repairs.

Determine True GFLAP with TAM Software Analysis.
Foamy, gas-cut fluid columns can easily mislead basic fluid level shots. We perform routine Annular Fluid Depression Tests (AFDT) by using casing pressure to depress the fluid column.
- Accurate Gradients: Using TAM software, we calculate the true gaseous liquid column gradient.
- GFLAP Calculation: We provide the precise Gas-Free Liquid Above Pump (GFLAP) measurement, ensuring your Bottomhole Pressure (PBHP) calculations are perfectly accurate.
Protect Surface Equipment & Reduce LOE
Quick PRT Dynamometers: Using wireless Polished Rod Transducers (PRT), we can perform rapid, routine dynamometer surveys to instantly evaluate structural loading and basic pump issues without pausing field operations.
Permanent Load Cell Verification: Are you trusting bad data? We use our calibrated, high-fidelity PRTs and horseshoe load cells to cross-check your permanent load cells to ensure they haven't drifted out of calibration.
Setting Manual Timers: We use surface data to perfectly tune your manual timers. Industry case studies prove this prevents severe fluid pound, dramatically reduces electrical lease operating expenses (LOE), and extends the run-life of your rod string.
Systematic Field Optimization
For operators acquiring new assets or looking to establish a baseline across a mature field, we offer comprehensive, scheduled field-wide reviews.
- Phase 1 (Baseline): We shoot fluid levels on all wells in a designated field or area to establish a baseline of current operating conditions.
- Phase 2 (Triage): We identify specific wells that are underperforming or showing mechanical stress, flagging them for in-depth TAM troubleshooting.
- Phase 3 (Validation): Following any workovers or parameter adjustments, we return to validate that the changes had the desired impact on production and efficiency.
Keep your production optimized and your operating costs low.
