VARIABLE SPEED DRIVE

Speed Control and Well Monitoring Package for

Rod Pump Applications Key Features

For wells that require the next level in pump control,
Lufkin’s Variable Speed Drive unites pump-off control
with the ability to fluctuate pump speed for enhanced
productivity on every stroke. Fully integrated Lufkin
Well Manager™ technology provides accurate and
immediate downhole information the Drive uses to
match pump rate to the well’s inflow in real time.
Even as conditions change, the Variable Speed Drive
ensures your pump runs at an optimal speed for peak
production.
