Rod Pump Production Calculator
The Rod Pump Production calculator determines theoretical production rates based on pump geometry, stroke length, and pumping speed.

Outputs

Results Table

For each crank hole position, shows:
  • SPM for target production - Required SPM to achieve desired bbl/day
  • Production at target SPM - Expected production at desired SPM

Rod Pump Production Estimator Chart

Visual graph showing Fluid Production (bbl) vs. Stroke Rate (SPM) with:
  • Theoretical production curve
  • Current operating point

Use Cases

  • Determine required SPM to meet production targets
  • Compare production across different crank hole positions
  • Evaluate pump sizing for new installations
  • Optimize stroke rate for existing wells
