Empowering oil and gas engineers with cutting-edge gas lift software, surveillance tools, and production optimization solutions — trusted by operators worldwide for over 30 years.
PIONEER in Gas Surveillance WellTracer®
The only patented WellTracer® Surveillance
30+ years of leadership in Gas Lift
5000+ surveyed run Globally








In 1993, AppSmiths® was founded in Houston to develop a gas-lift design and optimization software tool for Shell Oil Company. Five years later, this solution (WinGLUE®) became commercially available outside of their primary client and was introduced to the marketplace.
The company’s petroleum engineering software tools enable oil and gas operators and engineers to design, model, and optimize an integrated production system. Oil and gas companies globally have adopted the software and many standardized on the technology. Fast forward to today, other cutting-edge technologies have been successfully commercialized with new technologies and research and development as a top business strategy.
WellTracer® creates a snapshot of the well performance by injecting the gas into the gas lift injection line and its concentration
is recorded at the well head
Is an injection point surveillance and monitoring tool for gas lift wells that uses patented technology. With it you can measure your operations, check performance and discover problems without risky interventions or loss of production.
WellTracer® is suitable for horizontal, deviated or dual-completion wells where pressure lifting is not feasible.
Testing the valves allows you to know what and how many of the valves are still in operation.
