eLynx Technologies Helps Zinke & Trumbo Increase Production, Efficiency
TULSA, Okla. (Dec. 14, 2001) -- Tulsa-based Zinke
& Trumbo began working with eLynx Technologies more than a year ago in
order to automate the collection of its production data on a number of its
operated wells. Prior to involvement with eLynx, the company had to react to
historical production data provided by its Pumpers every eight days to manage
its production. With technology provided by eLynx, Zinke & Trumbo is able
to receive real-time information about its wells and take immediate action to
solve situations (i.e. liquid loading and nomination variances) before they
become problems. "We provide our clients with customized solutions to their
problems," said Chad Miller, director of business development for eLynx
Technologies. "For Zinke & Trumbo, we gave them a way to get information
about their wells on a timely basis so that they could be proactive rather than
reactive in dealing with well production problems." Zinke & Trumbo now has
approximately 15 Red Fork wells automated by eLynx Technologies. These
long-lived wells typically produce from reservoir rock that is considered
�tight." They also have a condensate yeild that can cause significant liquid
loading problems. With real-time information from eLynx, Zinke & Trumbo has
been able to monitor its wells more precisely, deal with problems such as
liquid loading on a more timely basis and thus produce its wells more
efficiently.
"eLynx allows us to monitor our wells on a real-time basis," said Bob Zinke,
President of Zinke & Trumbo. "Since automating our wells, we have improved
efficiency and increased daily production by 20 to 25 percent." eLynx's
Web-based automation technology also has resulted in Zinke & Trumbo being
able to eliminate concerns with respect to tariff penalties initiated by the
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). "We now have constant access to
information about our wells and can make very accurate predictions on how much
gas we will produce each month," Zinke said. "We can adjust our nominations
throughout the month to ensure that they are accurate and avoid fines." Zinke
& Trumbo, located at 1202 East 33rd St. in Tulsa, was founded in 1980. The
company operates, explores, drills and produces wells in Canada, North Dakota,
the Mid-Continent, the Texas Gulf Coast, the Louisiana Gulf Coast, the Ft.
Worth Basin and Gulf of Mexico Offshore. For more information, contact Zinke
