Dynamometer
A dynamometer analysis allows an operator
to determine the loadings and performance
of a beam pump system. Rod loadings,
beam loadings, gear box loadings, pump
performance and downhole gas separator
performance can be determined. An easyto-install compact polished rod transducer
is attached to the polished rod below the
carrier bar in a few seconds. The polished rod
transducer offers safe and easy acquisition of
load and position data with sufficient accuracy
for most  analysis. A quantitative horseshoe
load cell that is installed between the carrier
bar and the polished rod clamp allows the
acquisition of load with precise accuracy. An
accelerometer within the transducers provides
a reliable technique to determine polished rod
position. With both dynamometers, a surface
dynamometer card and a downhole pump card
are calculated and displayed. Traveling valve
and standing valve tests can be performed.
When using a horseshoe transducer, a
permissible load diagram and torque analysis
are available. A motor current sensor allows
acquisition of motor current data with the
dynamometer data for balancing motor size and
motor performance analysis.

Acoustic Liquid
Level Tests
The Acoustic Well Analyzer is used in conjunction
with a gas gun/microphone assembly to
determine the liquid level depth in a well.
Normally, the liquid level depth is determined
in the casing annulus, but also, the liquid level
depth can be measured inside tubing in gas
wells. An acoustic pulse is generated at the
surface of the well. The acoustic pulse travels
through the gas and is reflected by changes
in area including tubing collars and the liquid
level. The software automatically processes this
acoustic data to determine liquid level depth.
Concurrent with the acoustic liquid level depth
measurement, an initial and fifteen minute buildup casing pressure tests are performed. The
casing pressure build-up measurement allows
calculation of the casing annulus gas flow rate
and the gradient of the gaseous liquid column, to
determine if free gas is bubbling up through the
liquid. Software calculates the producing bottom
hole pressure, maximum production rates, pump
intake pressure, casing annulus gas flow rate
and other parameters. This single-shot acoustic
liquid level depth test is displayed as shown so
the operator can visualize and understand the
performance of the well.

Commander Controllers are designed and
tested to handle the harshest environments
while drawing as little power as possible.
Commanders are protected by a watertight
steel enclosure with a locking door latch,
and several pre-punched ports to provide
a variety of options for solenoid and wiring
connector locations.
OPERATION
The Commander Controllers can be configured
as a simple well intermitter or used in
conjunction with a plunger arrival sensor. The
operator sets a combination of Close Time,
Rise Time, and Afterflow Time to get the most
out of your well.
Protect your well by using a Line Pressure
device to shut in on high line pressure, or
enable the Fast Trip feature to prevent
repetitive fast plungers.
OPTIONS
Velocity Optimization
This feature allows the controller to react
to average velocity of the plunger and make
changes to the amount of Close and Afterflow
time for the well. The user specifies a Target
Rise Time, which the controller attempts to
achieve.

VERSATILE
For utmost accuracy,
Cyclops™ allows you to specify sensitivity levels
with a built-in 7 setting dial. Lower the sensitivity
to eliminate false detects; raise the sensitivity
to pick up well movements when using non-steel
plungers. Cyclops™ operates over a wide range of
voltages, simplifying inventory management.
INTUITIVE
Cyclops™ is enclosed in a rugged
watertight aluminum case filled with hardened
epoxy. Built-in mounting supports a standard
hose clamp. Cyclops™ features a ½” NPT port
that enables the use of either a Teck connector
and armoured cable or a standard cable gland
and instrumentation cable. Captive screws
ensure no lost time searching for fallen screws in
snow or mud.
LOW POWER
Cyclops™ is designed to be
extremely low power – on average drawing less
than 700 uA of current, fitting into all power
budgets.
OPERATION
Cyclops™ operates as a normally
open dry contact. Simply connect the 3 wire interface
to power, ground, and signal and Cyclops™ is ready
to detect a plunger. Our design uses a magnetic
sensor as opposed to a traditional coil. This means
that Cyclops™ can detect slow moving or
even static plungers. As well, the plunger
does not have to fully travel past the sensor,
allowing for a wider range of mounting
locations. Additional advantages include the
ability to control the sensitivity and provide a
clean 2 second switch closure.
INSTALLATION Using a standard hose
clamp, Cyclops™ is fixed to the well. The
sensor may be left in its default sensitivity
position or adjusted for well- specific
conditions.

The Definitive Valve Rod Plungers
(VRP) are ideal for wells requiring
little or no shut in time and wells
that are flowing at or near critical
rate producing high volumes of
gas and fluid.
Benefits
The unique design allow the user
to utilize any lubricator/catcher
assembly without the addition of
a triggering rod: As well as any
standard down-hole equipment.
The engineered one piece design
facilitates simplistic operations.
Advantages
The design allows for the
plunger to fall against flow in a
continuous flow application or
allows for minimal shut in time
when required. Plunger is able to

Plungers
Definitive Optimization’s Development Team, complimented by
Shell-Ryn Machining, has researched, engineered, tested, and
fielded an innovated solution to problem plungers, enhancing
our traditional plunger line. Our desire to solve client concerns
has been instrumental in the creation and success of our “next
generation” plunger line. Definitive is determined to set the
industry standard, continuously developing and optimizing our
equipment line.
Canadian made for Canadian environments.
ALL Definitive equipment is
manufactured in Brooks, Alberta.
ALL Definitive Plungers are machined with an engineered stepdown fishing neck design to prevent impact sheering during dry
fast runs. Solid, Bar-stock, Solid Ribbed, and Helix Plungers
are all equipped with an upper and lower 20 thousands wear
indicator rings, allowing operators to inspect and identify wear
at a glance. Padded Plungers are equipped with a (per pad) 15
thousands wear indicator for the same purpose.
Definitive Plungers are available in 2 3/8”, 2 7/8” and 3 ½” – we
offer our plungers in L80 material, suitable for all applications.
Plungers are all stamped with Part Number, Batch numbers,
as well as Heat Trace number where applicable. This allows for
tracking, trending and improved quality control.
DEFINITIVE PADDED
PLUNGER
The Definitive Padded Plunger
was designed to solve the
problems plaguing inferior
padded plungers throughout
the industry. (Weight and
Separation). Padded Plungers
in circulation are traditionally
heavy and are constructed with
as many as 4 individual body
pieces and 20 or more moving
or pinned pieces.
The Definitive Design has
a unique advanced weight
reducing construction that
DOES NOT compromise
the plungers durability.
This proven engineering
achievement allows for a solid
body construction from fishing
neck to absorption plate.
Since the plunger mandrel is
machined from a solid piece
of steel, NO PINS are needed
to connect the plunger fishing
neck or bottom absorption
cone, as seen in other designs.
Solid Plunger
Extended width and depth grooves
with larger sealing surfaces, cut
specifically to enhance “turbulent
seal”, also extend the plunger’s life in
harsh environments. “The Mule” of the
industry, the solid or clean-out plunger
is ideal in high gas/liquid ratio wells.
12 www.defopt.com
Padded Plunger
Superior sealing
characteristics with a unique
interlocking pad design,
increases production in
marginal flowing wells.
Advanced weight reducing
construction. Will cycle in
most cases where heavier
plungers fail.
DEFINITIVE
SOLID RING SPIRAL
(HELIX) PLUNGER 
DEFINITIVE
FIBER SEAL
PLUNGER
The Helix Plunger is a
one piece, hardened
steel, solid design that
makes this plunger
both durable and
economical. Deep
external grooves trap
gas to help create
turbulent seal. Upper
and lower helix (triple
axis spiral grooves)
allow the plunger to
pass through wax,
paraffins, light sand
and emulsion. Upon
surfacing, well flow
will cause a rotational
effect, freeing the
plunger of any debris
built up. Ideal for wells
with high gas to liquid
ratios, containing wax,
scale, and emulsion.
The helix plunger has
been proven in a wide
range of wells including
those that produce
formation and frac
sand.

Light weight
construction with a
nylon sealing element
for extended life in
sandy wells – this
element has proven
very durable in H2S
wells and has superior
sealing characteristics.
• Flexible nylon element
allows for use in
irregular tubing IDs.
• Good for coal fines
and sand production.
• Minimal damage to
tubing.
• Good for high bottom
hole temperature.

BOTTOM HOLE
SPRING ASSEMBLY
INNOVATIONS
Durability - Definitive assemblies
are designed to maintain free
length for 100,000 normal plunger
runs. High strength characteristics
are engineered into all components
to achieve extended service life
intervals.
Flow – Enlarged “directional” flow
path ports, facilitate maximum
production and minimize down hole
restriction; a three port flow cage,
with an outlet Cross sectional area
larger than the entry, allows for
increased unrestricted production.
Construction – Engineered for
maximum durability the API
threaded connections are machined
with Stub Acme threads to ease
in disassembly during field service
and repair. This box type thread
design allows for a friction lock
assembly, requiring NO lock tight.
As an added security the lower
mandrel is machined with an 1/8inch pin groove that aligns with a
machined port; once assembled
a roll pin is installed to guarantee
no down hole separation. Solving
the issues of premature cage wear
caused by “ball rattle”, Definitive
springs are constructed with a ball
seat above the cage. This coupled
with an engineered directional flow
path clears the ball from the cage,
allowing for unrestricted flow, but
14 www.defopt.com
more importantly providing the ball
with a trap to rest against during
flow, eliminating “rattle”.
Relief Valve/Seat – All Definitive
BHSA come standard with an
internal pressure relief valve
and dual seat construction. The
secondary seat machined into the
lower mandrel allows for relief valve
removal if desired. Both seats are
functional in deviated wells up
to 55 degrees. The relief valve
assembly consists of the ball,
primary disk seat, and Inconel coil
spring. The primary disk seat has
a unique design that alleviates
problems that can occur with traces
of sand, scale and debris. This also
allows for the relief valve assembly
to be an internal component, not
an added connection.
Mandrel – The BHSA lower mandrel
is designed after a traditional pump
seating hold down configuration
that facilitates a three seating cup
assembly. This design ensures
complete contact within the PSN
seating/sealing surface and
allows for maximum flow through
capability. The complete assembly
secured with a double nut locking
mechanism is achieved through
the use of a HR cup, HR cups are
available in a rubber composite and
fiber.
Bottom Hole Spring Assembly
Available in 2 3/8” – 2 3/8” – 3 ½”: Phosphate Coated
L80 Dual Service and 17.4 Stainless Steel for use in
corrosive (H2S and CO2) environments. Absorption
Springs are available in 17-7 SS, X750 Inconel, and
MP35N for extremely corrosive environments.
Bottom Hole Spring Assembly (BHSA) – landed or set
in the tubing string, are often forgotten and overlooked
during routine maintenance. As a result, keeping safety in
the forefront, Definitive BHSA are engineered to withstand
the extreme temperatures, corrosive agents, gas flow
erosion, and impact abuse that all occur down hole.
Although the most commonly forgotten component of an
artificial lift system, the BHSA serves the critical role of a
protection.
The typical function of the BHSA is to protect the tubing,
seating nipple, and plunger from impact abuse when
fluid is not present. The secondary purpose is to act
as retainer, trapping production fluid in the tubing to be
removed during consecutive cycles.
A Definitive Bottom Hole Spring Assembly is engineered
not only to trap fluids during flow, preventing fluid “fall
back” into the formation during an off cycle, but also
to allow fluid “fall back” during a “loaded” situation in
which the plunger, and pressure build is unable to lift the
accumulated fluids to the surface.
This feet is accomplished through the Relief valve/seat
assembly built into every Definitive BHSA. The same
assembly designed to trap fluids, can also be used to
release them. This engineered valve operates under a
pressure differential that is activated by the weight of
the fluid column coupled with an applied back pressure,
or “U-Tubing”. Once the differential is reached the relief
valve opens, allowing trapped fluids to be recycled into
the formation to limit the need for wire line or swab rig
recovery.

plungers in the past. They are as follows:
• Completely redesigned cup sealing process and
design
• Designed for the casing plunger to be below drift
in size to allow for quicker and more efficient fall
times
• Sealing cups last longer due to them not wearing
on the down cycle
• Centralizers added to maintain proper fall
position, also allows operator to hear the plunger
on up and down cycles
• Newly innovated shifting rod and seal assembly,
moved from the bottom of the tool to the top of
the tool.This allows the tool to operate more
efficiently in environments where solids are
present
