LUFKIN Well Manager™ 2.0 with NOVAWAVE™
Revolutionizing production automation with the industry’s only advance wave equation for deviated wells.
Built for what’s below. Engineered for what’s next.
For decades, the industry has relied on legacy automation algorithms designed for vertical wells. But today, 86% of wells drilled are deviated or horizontal rendering yesterday’s software inaccurate, inefficient, and costly for deviated wells.
LWM 2.0 with NOVAWAVE™ is the first and only automation system purpose-built to optimize performance in today’s well designs. With a patent-pending waveform equation developed by the same experts behind the original algorithm, NOVAWAVE delivers the precision, control, and insight required to unlock new levels of efficiency in rod lift operations.
ROI Drivers
Smarter Decisions, Powered by Real Physics
Legacy vertical well designed software struggles in deviated wells misinterpreting card downhole behavior. NOVAWAVE corrects this by accounting for angle, friction, and gravitational forces giving operators true visibility into subsurface conditions.
More Accurate Diagnostics
Improved diagnostic accuracy enables more confident decisions about pump fillage, stroke efficiency, and equipment health.
Proactive Failure Mitigation
With NOVAWAVE, you can identify true failure risks before they happen, reducing downtime and workover costs while protecting equipment from avoidable damage.
Enhanced Control. Greater Flexibility.
NOVAWAVE unlocks powerful new capabilities in your existing LWM 2.0 hardware:
Variable Speed Pump Fill Control
Fluid Pound Avoidance & Torque Management
Expanded Communications Modules for Field Flexibility
Compatible with SROD (coming soon)
Seamless Upgrade. Immediate Value.
Already running LWM 2.0? Adding NOVAWAVE is fast, simple, and requires no system overhaul. Our field technicians can activate NOVAWAVE in one site visit giving you instant access to its advanced control features and well-specific insights.
The Bottom Line
NOVAWAVE isn’t just more accurate, it’s more profitable.
By extending equipment life, reducing unplanned failures, and improving well performance, LWM 2.0 with NOVAWAVE™ delivers real ROI, faster payback, and more barrels to the bottom line.
