Founder Anatesco Inc. Doug Densha. He his in the oil fields in 1966 as an engineering assistant for Chevron.
"I noticed right Off it tough to do a good job making these oil wells pro-duce because there wasn't a good handle on the sorts of things a person really needed to know to make intelligent decisions. For example, it's hard to tell if a pump is bad. The only way to tell is to watch production going down." But there may be other reasons production drops, such as bad gauges, tubing leaks, perforations, or even the well going dry. "A lot Of money was being wasted pulling pumps and putting them back in."
