Willis, Texas - R&M Energy Systems recently released a free, updated version of its New EraÂ® Rod Guide catalog. Engineered to prevent rod and tubing wear, New Era Rod Guides feature advanced design characteristics that result in increased production and decreased workover costs. Manufactured from engineered plastics enhanced with performance additives, R&M Energy Systems features the broadest range of rod guides in the industry, including rotating rod guides for use with progressing cavity downhole pumps as well as high-performance, high-temperature and classic rod guides for use with reciprocating beam pumps.

The 20 page, full color catalog offers valuable technical data on the latest rod guide advancements such as:

Pathfinder(TM) - Specifically designed for progressing cavity pumped wells to allow fluid to easily flow through four distinct channels molded directly into the rod guide

Blazer(TM) - Manufactured from proprietary, engineered plastics enhanced with performance additives to withstand high temperature well conditions

FAST(TM) - Engineered for high performance in progressing cavity pumped wells, use of these rod guides eliminates the need to remove sucker rods from the well site

Stealth XL(TM) - Designed for high performance field installation using a proprietary RC material for superior holding power and a high temperature rating

The New Era Rod Guide catalog also provides detailed information on the R&M Energy Systems Tubing Wear Prevention Solutions and the Rod Guide Advisory Program. Through its Rod Guide Advisory Program (RGAP(TM)), R&M Energy Systems applies a systems approach to each application, analyzing wellbore deviations, dynamometer readings, workover histories, well operating conditions, completion information, and production data to determine optimal rod guide design and spacing for each well.
