Stroke Guard
Free pilot for Alberta operators
Rod-pump monitoring for independent operators

Hear the pump before it breaks.

Stroke Guard reads the data your controllers already collect and tells you, in plain words, which wells are drifting toward trouble and what the likely cause is. No new hardware. No changes to your controllers.

Well [WELL ID] · [LOCATION]
CRITICAL
Likely cause: parted rod

Over the last 6 hours the pump card has collapsed to a fraction of its normal area, and motor current fell with it. This pattern usually means a rod has parted.

Suggested next step: confirm at the wellhead before booking a rig.

Every stroke draws a picture

A pumpjack plots load against rod position on every stroke. The shape of that loop is how a good pumper reads the well. Stroke Guard watches that shape, plus motor current and pressures, on every well, every hour.

Healthy
Full, steady loop. The baseline each well is compared with.
Fluid pound
Pump is not filling. Load drops sharply early on the downstroke.
Gas interference
Rounded corners as gas compresses in the barrel and the pump fills partly.
Parted rod
The loop collapses to a thin sliver. Production stops, often before anyone notices.

Three steps. Almost no work on your side.

01

Send one data export

A CSV from your SCADA or historian for 10 to 20 wells, plus the dates of your past workovers. If your system makes that hard, we will sit down and sort it out together.

02

We watch in the background

For 60 to 90 days Stroke Guard runs in shadow mode. It only reads. It never touches a controller, never changes a setpoint, and your crew keeps working exactly as they do today.

03

Get a monthly scorecard

One page: what we flagged, what actually happened, and what we missed. You judge us on your own wells, with your own numbers, before paying anything.

What it does

  • Learns what normal looks like for each individual well
  • Flags slow drift, not just alarms that have already tripped
  • Gives a likely cause in plain language, never a raw score
  • Warns you when a sensor has gone stale or stuck
  • Shows every well on one screen, with export

What it will not do

  • Write to, control or shut in anything in the field
  • Replace your pumpers or your judgement
  • Require new sensors, gateways or a site visit to start
  • Promise a result before it has been tested on your wells

Looking for two or three Alberta operators to test it

Stroke Guard is early. So far it has been tested on simulated wells only, and we make no claim about accuracy on real wells until it has been tried on yours. That is what the pilot is for.

The pilot is free. After it, pricing is a simple per-well monthly fee, agreed with you up front and judged against what one avoided workover is worth to your operation.
