HISTORY

The company’s founder, Russ Rutledge is one of the original pioneers in fiberglass sucker rod technology. Mr. Rutledge spear headed the first long-term success of this technology in 1978 with the founding Fiberflex, Inc. Fiberflex experienced significant success and an unfriendly stockholder takeover was implemented in 1983, which resulted in Mr. Rutledge being bought out. He then founded Fiberglass Technologies, Inc. in 1985. This company began by refurbishing and selling existing fiberglass rods, which were refitted with a newly developed, patented end fitting. Fiberglass Technologies, Inc. acquired Fiberflex, Inc. in 2003 and formed the company known as FIBEROD. FIBEROD was a very successful manufacturer and seller of fiberglass sucker rods for eight years utilizing the innovative end fitting design developed by Mr. Rutledge at Fiberglass Technologies, Inc. FIBEROD was sold in May of 2008 to the Smith Group, an international company and was then acquired by Endurance Production Solutions, Inc. in 2016.

Because of the demand from former customers and the long-term relationships developed from over 30 years of innovation in the industry, Mr. Rutledge began developing and testing a new, cutting edge end-fitting design in late 2010. With the successful development of the new end-fitting design, Mr. Rutledge formed R2 R and D, LLC. in 2011, with the first rods being produced in the new Big Spring facility later that year. R2 R and D, LLC chose to brand the new rod, ”SUPEROD®” because its quality, strength, and durability far exceeded any other rod in the market. SUPEROD® is the most technologically advanced fiberglass sucker rod on the planet and is supported by the most experienced team in the industry. SUPEROD® is committed to building the finest product possible while offering the best service in the industry.

SUCKERODS

SUPEROD® suckerods™ can be used in multiple artificial lift applications of oil and gas wells. Suckerods™ are connected together by either a standard or slim-hole coupling, to create a “rod string”. Suckerods™ strings can be thousands of feet long end to end, connecting the downhole pump to the production unit at the surface. We have three sizes and two temperature ranges for you to choose from – depending on the depth and volume of your well – to best fit your application.

COUPLINGS & CROSS OVER COUPLINGS

Class T and Spray Metal couplings in standard full size and slim-hole size. Combination couplings and sub couplings are also available upon customer’s request. Thread rolling process to produce couplings. It creates a compressive stress at the root of the threads, overcome the traditional weak point of cut-thread couplings.

ROD GUIDES & GUIDED RODS

SUPEROD® Rod Guides are placed on the fiberglass Rod body to the customers specification. These Rod guides are produced and installed in our plant using a process unique to SUPEROD®.

Testing proves that SUPEROD® guides handle a greater side load than smaller molded on Rod guides used by the competitors. If you need to stabilize your Rod string then you need SUPEROD® Rod Guides.

We carry 1.25″ with 6 guides or 10 guides for 2 7/8″ tubing. We carry 1″ with 6 guides for 2 7/8″ tubing or 2 3/8″ tubing. We also have high temp guided rods.
