COROD® Continuous Rod

Eliminate rod-tubing friction to extend rod-string and tubing life in deviated wells

With couplings only at the top and bottom of the rod string, COROD continuous rod minimizes the potential for rod-string failures and costly interventions. It is available in various grades and in multiple sizes of round- and semi-elliptical-shaped rod for a wide range of applications.
