TUBING SAVER ROTATOR (TSR)
The Tubing Saver Rotator (TSR) is used to rotate tubing in a rod pumped well. This tubing rotation spreads the wear around the tubing caused by rods, rod boxes, or rod guides. It benefits tubing splits and even corrosion holes (due to film inhibitor being wiped off by the rods or rod guides). This low cost tubing rotator (TSR):
(b) may reduce emissions or oxygen entry into wellhead (has additional seals)
(c) is priced around 1/3 the cost of other flanged rotators
(d) is made for Larkin or other similar heads (other rotators are for flanged wellheads)
(e) takes about 30 seconds of a pumper/treaters time per month to rotate the tubing
(f) generates over 40% to 100% Rate of Returns on wells that fail more often than once every two years (NOT JUST PROBLEM WELLS).
(g) uses manual rotation to reduce corrosion hole failures (manual rotation is preferred where corrosion inhibitors are utilized). Note: The more expensive automatic rotators may cause the the film inhibitor to be worn off in one day with the rod guides and rods. Thus, automatic rotation may benefit only tubing splits and not corrosion holes!

OMEGA SWIVEL JOINT
The Omega Swivel Joint was developed to provide a low cost swivel to attach to the Tubing Saver Rotator(TSR). It is easily repaired through replacement of any of its three O-rings (Click Here for additional information).
SIDESTREAM FLUSH RESTRICTOR
The Sidestream Flush Restrictor (SFR), patent pending, was developed to save energy costs, improve chemical performance, and improve pumping runtimes between failures. This device has been installed in hundreds of wells with over a 100% investment rate of return. Thus, the SFR should be considered on all continuous chemical systems employing a side stream flush (usually on oilwell chemicals injected downhole).
A side stream flush flowline is normally installed in pumping oil wells to continuously inject chemical into a well, while diluting the chemicals with part of the well's production fluids. Normally, a side stream flush line is unmetered and utilizes a 1/4 inch line hooked up to the wellhead with a partially opened valve (which often plugs up) used to restrict the amount of well fluids flowing back down the casing after mixing with chemicals. Normally, only 5 to 15 barrels per day (bpd) is needed for a sufficient flush stream, but one field had 300 wells measured with an average of 75 bpd/well. Installing the SFR on 700 wells saved around 625 kilowatts of electricity by reducing the flush rates to 15 bpd. This action saved even more money on rod pumping repairs by slowing down pump speeds (or could allow some operators to increase production)!
