Double M Electric, Inc. in Watford City, ND is finalizing the testing of its Oilwell Power Controller (OPC) Prototype Unit. This device can be used as a rod pump controller and it can also monitor, record and store power usage, temperature and pressure data. The unit also has the capability to measure the rod string weight, therefore it can be used as a dynamometer. A total of 10 OPC Units were assembled and installed on oilwells pumped with rod pumps in the Central and Western United States. Data from these wells was analyzed and forwarded to the participating oil companies.
