XROD 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. XROD 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 can generate an optimum design 10 to 50 times faster than can be done using RODSTAR. In addition, the designs generated with XROD were better than those created by most users using the standard RODSTAR run-review-run method. XROD can also design for deviated wells similar to RODSTAR (Artificial Intelligence is not included for deviated wells).
With XROD 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.
XROD 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 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.
With XROD you can enter everything yourself (using the non-AI mode), or have the program automatically design your pumping systems in seconds.
