Megalex has developed novel carbon fiber rods to improve efficiency, throughput, and reliability of rod lift pumps. The rods are lighter, allowing for longer stroke and lower power input, improving efficiency and throughput. The rods are flexible, allowing for use in highly deviated wells, and have higher strength and temperature resistance than fiberglass rods. Megalex also has novel coupling designs, improving reliability and reducing cross sectional area, leading to further reliability and throughput gains.

Improved materials: reduced weight, improved flexibility and durability improves maximum throughput , reduces energy cost and improves reliability

Enhanced coupler: Improved coupler design allows for more streamlined connections, improving pressure drop and flow around connections

Broadened applications: Narrower, lighter, more flexible and corrosion resistant rods allow for use in deeper, narrower, hotter and more deviated environments

Sucker rods: Proprietary sucker rods using carbon fiber to:

• Increase strength: Improvement in lifting capacity
• Increase production: greater production from deeper depths
• Light weight: Reduces load on pumping units; allows longer stroke units
• Small diameter: operate in small diameter tubing (2-3/8” & poly-lined)
• High temperature: Can go in deeper and hotter formations than fiberglass
• Fatigue resistance: improved fatigue properties
• Corrosion resistant: Can be used in environments that are corrosive to steel

Couplings: Novel couplings designed specifically for rods allow for smaller diameter and fewer connection friction faces which are critical to proper rod make-up.
