PCS 4000 Controller® Single or Multi-Well
The PCS 4000 Controller® empowers you with state-of-the art automated management of up to eight wells and utilization of pressure data as well as flow rates to make optimization decisions.
Like the PCS 3000, the PCS 4000 Controller® Single Well can manage production of a single well using pressure data. Additionally, it can integrate with an EFM (electronic flow meter). This allows the operator to utilize flow rates to optimize production. The PCS 4000 Controller® Multi-Well has the same functionality of a PCS 4000 Single Well. It has the added ability to manage production of up to eight wells into one separator or as many as eight separators, while accurately allocating produced gas. Through wireless communication with a remote controller at the well head, it obtains real-time data from each well to synchronize and maximize production.
Applications
- Central management of remote access wells
- Synchronized, automatic control of up to eight wells feeding to one or as many as eight separators
- Both single well and multiple well locations where flow rate based decision-making is desired
Advantages
- All features of the PCS 3000 Controller®
- Maximum operator efficiency
- Wireless communications with up to eight remote wells
- Upgradeable and scaleable to full SCADA automation
- Modbus compatible and open architecture hosting
- CSA-approved version is available
- Accurate allocation of produced gas for each well
- Optional wireless end devices available

PCS WellVision™ for the PCS 4000
PCS WellVision™ is an easy-to-use diagnostic reporting application that supports the PCS 4000. It performs automatically scheduled data collection from your wells and delivers graphics and analysis of well performance that enable you to fine-tune optimization and production. Its remote diagnostics help you trouble-shoot and correct problems faster and more efficiently, lowering your operating costs.
Applications
- Delivers real-time remote well diagnostics for faster response to production issues
- Supports both single and multi-well installations
- Provides an economical and easy-to-use PCS 4000 hosting solution for a limited number of wells
Advantages
- Increased production and lower operating costs due to real-time data that enables well operators to more quickly and efficiently troubleshoot production issues
- Automatically uploads data from your wells based on schedules that you set
- Easy to use reports that can be exported into Microsoft Excel; well set-up and data upload schedules are quickly established with common templates
PCS 3000 Controller®
The PCS 3000 Controller® is a self-managing controller that delivers real-time data on a well's casing, tubing and line pressures. It uses this pressure data—as opposed to historical information or time-based settings—to make automatic adjustments to improve well production.
Applications
- Wells with fluctuating sales line pressure
- Wells with high sales line pressure
- Remote location single wells
- Wells with packers
Advantages
- All features of the PCS 1000 Controller® and PCS 2000 Controller®
- Improved operator efficiency
- More consistent production
- Better performance and productivity than is possible with time-based control
- Self-manages using casing and sales line calculations
- Displays real-time data well pressures
- History reports: plunger trips, total open-close time, valve count, plunger travel speed, battery status
- CSA-approved version available
- Optional wireless end devices available
PCS 1000 Controller®
The PCS 1000 Controller® is an economical, single-valve, time-based controller that's ideal for intermitting a well's sales time. The PCS 1000 is easy-to-use and has been proven in over two decades of field-testing and service.
Applications
- Wells with stable production levels
- Unloading liquids from gas wells
Advantages
- Battery status
- Arrival Sensor On/Off
- Delay/sales time
- Plunger and valve counts
- Safety shut-ins (high line pressure, high tank levels)
- CSA-approved version is available
PCS 1000J Controller®
The PCS 1000J Controller™ is a time-based controller that offers the same features as a PCS 1000 Controller with the addition of useful functions like mandatory shut-in, plunger trip history reports and well synchronization.
Applications
- Wells with stable production levels
- Wells with consistent line pressure
Advantages
- All features of the PCS 1000 Controller
- Plunger trip history reports
- Mandatory shut-in
- Total open time
- Well synchronization
- CSA-approved version is available
PCS 2000 Controller®
PCS also offers the 2000 Controller®, combining the features of a PCS 1000 Controller with the addition of wireless capabilities, a B-Valve option and fast trip safety shut-in feature.
PCS High-Low Controller®
The PCS High-Low Controller® is ideal for protecting downstream equipment and the environment from extreme pressure changes. The PCS High-Low Controller® monitors well pressure and opens or closes the motor valve based on high and low pressure spikes from downstream or upstream. It's an eco-friendly 'no bleed' controller that is more flexible and reliable than a continuous bleed bourdon-tube type controller. It offers optional safety shut-in features.
Applications
- Separator high-low control
- Compressor by-pass control
- Safety On-Off control
Advantages
- Economical safety control
- Programmable deadband
- 'No-bleed' controls
- Three modes:
- Close High / Close Low
- Open High / Close Low
- Close High / Open Low
PCS High-Low Timer Controller®
The PCS High-Low Timer Controller™ is a time-based controller (similar to the PCS 1000 Controller®) with the added safety features of the PCS High- Low Controller. It allows the operator to manage production using time-based calculations, while also protecting surface equipment and preventing environmental damage in the event of overpressure or loss of pressure.
Applications
- Time controlled wells where additional pressure safety measures are desired
Advantages
- Economical solution for combining time control with pressure safety control
- History reports: valve counts, total open/close times, battery status
- Most of the features of a PCS 1000 Controller combined with the features of a PCS High-Low Controller
