Tuboscope's advisory, management and evaluation technologies provide you the critical data needed for successful and efficient production string Wellsite Tubing Inspection WellChek™ is a self-contained inspection and remote monitoring system used in conjunction with routine tubing pulling operations. Utilizing proprietary inspection technologies, we provide an unmatched evaluation of each tube, identifying and recording exact defect location in the well. Employing proven inspection technologies, this advanced system offers an accurate evaluation of each tube. • Sonoscope™ EMI for detection...

Corrosion Control and Wear Prevention Tube-Kote (TK ™) Coatings for tubing and sucker rods TK ™-Coatings improve performance and mitigate problems associated with corrosive environments to extend the life of your tubing and rod string. Production tubulars and sucker rods often operate in highly corrosive environments which can lead to failures and budget-draining downtime. As the original and premier provider of internal coatings, we continue to develop innovative products to extend asset life and improve performance in all operating environments. With our industry leading line of...

Artificial Lift Technologies Rod guide design, placement, and material selection are all crucial for obtaining the best overall performance of your rod string. Utilizing our proprietary Rod Guide Advisory Program (RGAP), we are able to recommend the proper guide design, material, spacing and auxiliary equipment for both beam and progressing cavity pump applications. Well conditions, workover histories and wellbore deviations are all considered when recommending guides. WellTrak and RGAP take the guesswork out of production string design by providing you with the real-time data you need to...

Artificial Lift Technologies The most extensive portfolio of rod guide designs for beam and Progressing Cavity (PC) pumps Wellbore deviations, dynamometer readings, workover histories, well operating conditions, completion information and production data should all be taken into consideration when selecting rod guides. Our advisory programs help you select the proper design, material and spacing for each well to ensure effective rod and tubing wear prevention. Field Support Tuboscope rod guides are manufactured from a complete line of engineered plastics, enhanced with performance...

Rod Guide Materials New Era® rod guides are manufactured from a complete line of engineered plastics, enhanced with performance additives, which can be tailored to virtually any well environment. Three base polymers — Nylon, PPA and PPS — have demonstrated excellent performance in a number of harsh environments. Additives such as glass, minerals and aramid fibers can enhance the performance of the basic polymers. Rod Guide Designs High Performance Designs • Crossover™ • TNT 360™ & Nitro 360™ • NETB™, NEXTB™ & NEXXTB™ • Stealth™ & Stealth XL™ Classic Designs • Straight Vane • Positive...

Artificial Lift Technologies — Rod Guides NETB™ Rod Guide NETB™, NEXTB™ & NEXXTB™ New Era® Turbulence Breakers Rod Guide Features & Benefits • Hydrodynamic design helps keep fluid closer to laminar flow around the guide, and decreases the chance of gas breakout • Factory installation eliminates field installation problems plus provides over 10 times less drag force and 10 times more bonding power than most field installed designs • Reduced hydraulic drag force maximizes carrier bar loads on the downstroke • NEXXTB features wider vanes for maximum surface bearing area • All materials...

Positive Action® Slant Vane Rod Guide Positive Action® Slant Vane Rod Guide Tubing Cross-Section The angle of the slanted vane provides broad cutting action and when coupled with increased turbulence, paraffin build-up is reduced dramatically. In wells where drag, high side loads and corrosion are not factors, the slant vane design is the choice for paraffin control, but it still must be used with a rod rotator to be most effective. Paraffin Slanted vane guides (left) remove paraffin from a broader area than straight vane guides (right) Slant Vane XL Rod Guide This design provides effective...

Artificial Lift Technologies — Rod Guides Field Installed Guides Eliminate the need to remove rods from the well site, reducing costs and returning rods to service quicker. Blazer™ Rod Guide The spin-thru Blazer rod guides can effectively increase production and decrease workover costs by extending rod and tubing service life in standard and high temperature applications. These rod guides deliver maximum performance, even in extreme well conditions. Blazer ™ Rod Guide The FAST rod guides are engineered for high performance in progressing cavity pumped wells. The proprietary spin-thru design...

NEPG™— New Era® Poly Guide Rod Guide NEPG™— New Era® Poly Guide Rod Guide The Poly guide is manufactured from UHMW PE for high impact strength. Resistance to chemicals and salt water make this guide ideally suited for any temperature below 180°F. The NEPG’s double-knock patented slot design makes field attachment to the rod quick and easy. Once installed, the superior holding power of this guide guards against slippage on the rod. There is lower coefficient of friction than nylon, minimizing resistance in both reciprocating and rotating applications. The superior abrasion resistance of the...
