SAL supplies the petroleum industry with the state-of-the-art sucker rod pumping system optimization software. Our user-friendly software helps oil production engineers to design and analyze the performance of sucker rod pumping systems in vertical, inclined and directional wells. Recently released SRPUMP 3D (three-dimensional) program performs true calculations for the directional wells. It is based on the three-dimensional geometry of the rod string and two-wave equations: longitudinal and lateral. This feature allows for the prediction of the friction and normal forces between the rod and the tubing in the deviated well. The software also calculates the production rate loss due to lateral and helical buckling. SRPUMP has been used by oil producing companies in Canada, USA, UK, France, Argentina and Libya.

SAL provides also engineering consulting in the areas of the mechanical and structural engineering, failure analysis, dynamics, optimization and identification of structures and systems. The analysis of inflatable shelters and structures is one of the interests of SAL.

Company profile:

SAL Engineering and Software Ltd. established in Calgary in 1983 is an engineering consulting company undertaking high-tech R & D projects and software development aimed at addressing problems faced by modern industries. SAL also provides consulting in the area of design and optimization of sucker rod pumping systems. In the late 1980s SAL was the first company to develop sucker rod optimization software for inclined wells (SRPUMP 2D). In 1999 SAL developed a new version of SRPUMP, SRPUMP 3D that performs calculations for directional wells basing on three dimensions of the geometry of the well. SAL's president and founder, Dr. Stanislaw Lukasiewicz, a long-time professor of mechanical engineering at Warsaw Technical University and the University of Calgary and research consultant for oil companies in Calgary is the author of the mathematical model for SRPUMP. He teaches a course on oil and gas production at the University of Calgary.
