More than 400,000 wells in the United States operate with beam pump artificial lift equipment. Most of these wells have a pump capacity which exceeds the production rate of the well. Also, most of these wells pump 24 hours per day. These wells would operate more efficiently and at a lower cost with a device that reduces the amount of pumping unit operating time. This reduction in operating time decreases both
electricity and maintenance costs.
