Every year there is 1 Christmas party that outdoes them all… The multi-society Christmas party in West Texas! We were there this year to share a gift to every geoscientist on Earth. RiVa Solutions from GeoComputing, Lenovo, and Nvidia is here to help you model the reservoir faster than ever. With computing time being reduced for seismic inversions some cases taking days to run, with RiVa Solutions, it’s taking just hours. John Creevan CEO of GeoComputing, Brad Violand from Lenovo, and Jason Knudsen from Nvidia tell the story!

Shawn Dawsey is a Petroleum Engineer out of THE Texas A&M University. He developed a passion for rod pumping and oil well optimization. He has studied the Dynomometer and Fluid Echometer in so much detail, he made a 50-hour eCourse on it. You can now learn every detail of how to maximize your pump efficiency and optimize operations and profits. Check out his website for more information.

There is a special place in the universe where a person with passion has the hard work to really make a difference. This is exactly what Shawn Dawsey from Downhole Diagnostic has done!

Downhole Diagnostic diagnoses your downhole!  I use a Fluid Level Gun and a Dynamometer (Dyno) [metaphorically depicted above] to determine the fluid level and measure the downhole pump performance on Rod Pumped Wells.  To be more precise, Dynamometers are only applicable to Rod Pumped wells while Fluid Level Surveys can be used on any type of producing oil or gas well that doesn't have a Packer (Fluid Level Shots can even be taken down the tubing, for example:  if a tubing leak is suspected).   I then submit my findings in a concise report along with any optimization recommendations.
