How It Works
1
Configure Your Well
Enter directional survey, tubing, and casing data—or import from your well database.
2
Design Rod String
Select rod tapers, grades, and lengths. Configure pump and pumping unit.
3
Run Simulation
Execute simulation to calculate loads, stresses, and production estimates.
4
Analyze and Compare
Review results, clone simulations to test alternatives, and compare designs.
What RodSim Calculates
| Output | Description |
|---|---|
| Rod Stress | Stress at every point along the rod string |
| Pump Fillage | Percentage of pump barrel filled with fluid |
| Polished Rod Load | Surface load and torque requirements |
| Fatigue Life | Estimated rod life based on modified Goodman |
| Buckling | Rod buckling tendency and critical loads |
