TorqMax

Enhanced-geometry pumping unit

Reduce lifting costs through lower torque and horsepower requirements in conventional oil wells and unconventional shale reservoirs.

FlexLift

Low-profile pumping unit

Reduce operating height for wells in agricultural areas using overhead irrigation or wells near developed areas.

REDA Continuum

Extended-life ESP pump

Improve lift, efficiency, and reliability in challenging unconventional and conventional oil wells.

DesignRite

Artificial lift design and optimization software

Simplify the design process of ESP and gas lift systems using intuitive, user-friendly workflows for individual wells.
