ChevronTexaco was recognized with an Application of New Technology Award for the installation of existing lift technology equipped with new computer controls to address surface owner concerns.

Application of New Technology: The DynaPump, a computerized hydraulic driven sucker rod pump, offers many operational benefits over conventional beam pumping units. The DynaPump has a much smaller footprint and possesses a lower profile than a conventional unit having similar lifting capacities. The DynaPump also is quieter due to the operational efficiency that allows for prime movers many times smaller than what would be required by a conventional unit. The use of this lift system reduces the visual and noise impacts associated with beam lift equipment. ChevronTexaco, concerned about the potential public impact of its operation south of Durango, felt that the DynaPump could address many of these concerns.
