TABLE 1: Case History of 25 Wells installed with the TSR for 4 years
.
THEREFORE, THE TUBING SAVER ROTATOR (TSR) IS APPLICABLE FOR THE AVERAGE WELL AND NOT JUST PROBLEM WELLS.
The average run time between failures was improved from
1.5 months (8 month average) to 6.1 months per well (48
month average) with further improvement to 9 months per
well 1 year after installation.

This improvement yielded a 100% rate of return and a 3
month payout. In addition, this 76% reduction (4.1 times the
life) is for all failure types (not just wear-related, but also
includes rod parts, stuck pumps, etc.).

One could assume that the TSR could extend the life
between failure repairs by 4 to 6 times. The savings generate
around 40% to 100% rate of returns for wells that fail at least
once every two years or more often (assuming the TSR cost
is equal to one repair cost).
Experiment was performed in a large oil field comprised of 1200 rod-pumping oil producers with the objective to reduce failure frequency. We picked twenty-five of the worst
performing wells and installed them with the TSR/SJ equipment from 1996 to 1998. Results indicating significant improvements can be seen in Table 1 below.
