In the oil industry, automation and control of a well are gaining prominence, since it is applied to several methods of artificial elevation, mainly to Sucker-rod pump (SPM), the predominant method in number of wells when compared to other methods. Given this context, in order to improve the monitoring of SPM-equipped wells using traditional production tests, and to reduce costs with infrastructure, human resources and improve the accuracy to determine production, a technique was developed that well production. In this sense, this work presents a method of calculating volume pumped from the area of the pump card. The method calculates the area, establishing premises such as: leakage, tubing anchored or not, and filling of the pump. The validation of this method, as a calculation of the volume produced, was made by comparing the volume pumped by the area technique and the volume calculated by a Sucker-rod pump Simulator. From the results, it was observed that the strategy developed was an important tool when it came to the monitoring and follow-up of SPM production, since the method provides to monitor the well individually for possible interventions, problem solving, validation of results and details of production. In addition, it can be noted that conventional production tests can be reduced by using production calculation techniques from the pump card, following production in real time, economically reflecting a reduction in costs with the production test
