Incredibly User Friendly

RODSTAR-D ™
RODSTAR-D for Windows 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
for Windows™
RODSTAR-D for Windows you can enter everything
yourself, or have the program do most of the hard
work for you.

User Customizable Defaults

RODSTAR-D allows you to select English, SI (Met-
ric), 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, electric-
ity 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 3-D plot of the
wellbore, spin it around to look at different
views, zoom in, etc.. The program shows the
different sections in the rodstring with different
colors and also shows the rest of the wellbore in
black. This shows where the pump is located.
