Variable Speed Drives

The critical challenge in optimizing wells is to match the rotational speed of the pump to the varying production capacity of the well. Conventional variable speed drives cannot deliver full torque at low speeds, resulting in inefficient production, and stalled wells. What is needed is infinitely variable speed control with constant torque throughout the speed range.

Weatherford has designed and developed unique and cost-effective variable speed drives to optimize production your artificially-lifted wells.
