Six wells every operator recognises, run through the SRABS model: where the rods fail, what the stack changes, what it’s worth. The field receipts come next.

S02 / Case grid
Permian · deviated · modelled
The S-curve stripper.
8,200 ft, 14° dogleg, rods parting every 5 months. Tension-only stroke takes compression off the bend.

Bakken · high GOR · modelled
The gas-locked pump.
Gas interference stalls fillage below 60%. Echo reads the fluid level, Brain slows the stroke before it pounds.

Alberta · heavy oil · modelled
The 900 cP drag.
Viscous drag on the downstroke buckles the bottom string. Anti-buckling pump keeps every rod in tension.

Vienna Basin · mature · modelled
The 40-year-old field.
Water cut at 92%, margins at the edge. Fewer pulls turns a shut-in candidate back into cash flow.

Midcontinent · pumped off · modelled
The fluid-pound well.
Timer-run, pounding half of every cycle. Continuous fluid level replaces the timer with a real setpoint.

Appalachia · orphaned · modelled
The well nobody wanted.
Idle for three years. Low-rate restart only works if the pump can't wreck the string doing it.
