Incredibly User Friendly

RODSTAR
RODSTAR has an improved user interface that
™
is very easy to use. It contains help for each input
parameter and for all program features. It displays
recommendations and warnings to help you avoid
mistakes or to improve system design. With RODSTAR
you can enter everything yourself or have the soft-
ware do most of the hard work for you.

User Customizable Defaults

RODSTAR allows you to select English, SI (Metric),
or Canadian (mix of English and Metric) units. You
can save time by specifying values that usually do not
change such as: your company name, electricity cost,
standard sucker rod length, tubing size and pump
type, rod and pumping unit costs, etc.
Also, you can specify different types of sucker rod
guides and how much side load is recommended per
guide. The program uses this information to recom-
mend rod guide placement.

Sophisticated 3-D Wellbore Plot

After you enter (or import) your deviation
survey you can select to see a 3D plot of the
wellbore, spin it around to look at different
views, zoom in, etc.. The program shows the
different sections in the rod string with different
colors and also shows the rest of the wellbore in
black. This shows where the pump is located.
