Core Diagnostic Services
Accurate downhole data to eliminate guesswork and protect operating margins.
Routine Well Monitoring
Establish baseline fluid levels, track casing pressure build-up, and monitor changing reservoir conditions early to prevent pump failures.
Advanced Troubleshooting & TAM
Comprehensive dynamometer surveys and expert TAM interpretation to diagnose pump friction, rod tagging, and unseat issues before calling a rig.
Regulatory Compliance
Defensible acoustic fluid levels and pressure data packages formatted to satisfy AER requirements and verify long-term wellbore integrity.
In-House Testing is a Hidden Cost. We Deliver a Return.
Producers often assume that having internal operators shoot fluid levels saves money. In reality, relying on overstretched staff and low-resolution automation data costs you thousands in hidden production and blind workovers. Here is why outsourcing your diagnostics to Echo Advanced Solutions is the most profitable decision you can make.
- Unmatched Speed & Efficiency: Field operators are stretched thin fighting daily fires. Because our dedicated technicians utilize a fully wireless equipment stack—including remote-fire gas guns, pressure transducers, PRTs, and horseshoe load cells—we acquire accurate data 3 to 4 times faster than internal staff. We let your operators focus on keeping the field running while we handle the diagnostics.
- High-Precision Data vs. VFD/POC Cards: Don't rely on your Pump-Off Controller (POC) or VFD to diagnose complex mechanical failures. Modern controllers typically sample at just 20 to 30 Hz and mathematically smooth out the pump cards. Our wireless Echometer dynamometers capture raw, unfiltered data at 10 times that rate to catch the micro-anomalies and complex gas interference that standard automation equipment completely misses.
- Elite TAM Software Expertise: Collecting field data is only half the battle; interpreting it requires elite training. Our technicians recently completed an intensive, 5-day advanced diagnostic training directly at Echometer’s headquarters in Texas. We leverage the full capabilities of Total Asset Monitor (TAM) software to read the complex downhole signatures that untrained personnel miss.
- The Math is Simple (Immediate ROI): "Analysis Before Action" is a proven economic strategy. If our field-wide well review finds just 0.1 m³ of additional daily production, or definitively delays just one $40,000 workover for a single year, the entire cost of our services is instantly covered.
Echo: The Authority in Production Diagnostics
Decades of Field Expertise
Established in 1999, we are a third-generation well optimization company with decades of verifiable experience across the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin. We have performed tens of thousands of diagnostic surveys, building a reputation for speed, accuracy, and operational reliability.
Premium Wireless Technology
We rely exclusively on advanced Echometer and NR Tec hardware—including fully wireless Polished Rod Transducers (PRT), horseshoe load cells, and high-pressure 5000 PSI remote-fire gas guns and remote access fluid level/pressure loggers. This allows us to capture raw, high-resolution data that standard automation systems cannot detect.
Elite TAM Software Training
Capturing data is only the first step. Our technicians have completed intensive, advanced diagnostic training directly at Echometer’s headquarters in Texas. We leverage the capabilities of Total Asset Monitor (TAM) and CDI software to provide unmatched engineering-level interpretations.
Uncompromising Safety & Compliance
We operate under strict safety standards with active OH&S and Energy Safety Canada (SECOR) certifications to protect your assets and personnel. We also specialize in seamless AER Directive 040 compliance, generating validated PAS files to protect your operations from regulatory risk.
Diagnose Your Well
What are you experiencing in the field?
Don't rely on mathematically smoothed 20-30 Hz pump cards from your VFD or Pump-Off Controller to diagnose complex mechanical failures. We deploy high-resolution, wireless Polished Rod Transducers (PRT) and horseshoe load cells that sample at 10 times that rate. Using advanced TAM software, we perform complete mechanical evaluations, run rod stress analysis (Goodman diagrams), and calculate exact torque imbalances. We can also verify if your permanent load cells have drifted out of calibration, ensuring your automation is acting on accurate data.
Are you dealing with a worn pump barrel, a severe valve leak, or just gas interference? Foamy, gas-cut fluid columns can easily mislead basic fluid level shots. We perform Annular Fluid Depression Tests (AFDT) to calculate the true Gas-Free Liquid Above Pump (GFLAP). Then, leveraging intensive TAM software training, we convert surface data into highly accurate downhole pump cards to quantify exact valve leak rates and distinguish true fluid pound from gas locking—giving you definitive proof before you call a service rig.
Don't pull the entire string just to look for a leak. Through acoustic wellbore integrity mapping, we analyze acoustic traces to find localized anomalies downhole. By firing dual acoustic shots down both the casing and tubing simultaneously, we can pinpoint the exact depth of a tubing leak, unanchored tubing movement, or mechanical restrictions—completely eliminating the guesswork for your workover team.
Unlike rod pumps, flowing gas wells will load up when they drop below critical velocity, creating hydrostatic backpressure that chokes off production. We deploy high-pressure 5000 PSI wireless gas guns and high-frequency acoustic tracking to diagnose liquid loading or track plunger fall velocities (coming soon). We help you perfectly tune your shut-in and flow times, locate tight seating nipples, or validate defoamer/surfactant effectiveness to safely restore lost gas production.
Directive 040 compliance shouldn't tie up your field operators or become an administrative headache. We provide fully compliant data collection ranging from routine Static Bottomhole Pressures (SBHP) and Surface Casing Vent Flow (SCVF) tests to advanced unattended acoustic Pressure Transient Analysis (PTA/PBU). From initial field testing to validated PAS file generation, we deliver complete, high-fidelity reports ready for AER submission.
While standard Pump-Off Controllers (POCs) and VFDs mathematically smooth out downhole data, we use fully wireless Echometer dynamometers that sample at 10 times the rate. We pair this raw, high-resolution data with Total Asset Monitor (TAM) software to accurately diagnose complex mechanical failures, fluid pound, and gas interference that standard automation misses.
Stop treating symptoms. Let's find the root cause.
