RodSim Simulations List
RodSim is PetroBench’s rod pump simulation application. Design rod strings, analyze stress and fatigue, compare configurations, and export reports—all from your browser.

Features

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
