Abstract: A rod guide for guiding and protecting a sucker rod in a fluid mineral extraction setting. The rod guide comprising a bore shell, and a guide bore, a first end, a second end, one or more glue ports, a plurality of glue dams and a plurality of flutes. The bore shell wraps around the guide bore. The bore shell comprises an outside surface and an inside surface. The plurality of flutes are arranged around the bore shell extending outward from a central axis. The plurality of flutes are configured to prevent the sucker rod from rubbing within a tubing, as the sucker rod is inserted and withdrawn from said tubing the rod guide and the guide bore comprises the central axis.

Abstract: A molded rod guide for guiding and protecting a sucker rod in a fluid mineral extraction setting. Said molded rod guide comprising a two mating portions and a center channel. Said two mating portions comprise a first mating portion and a second mating portion. Said two mating portions are configured to selectively mate with one another and form said center channel. Said two mating portions comprise an assembled configuration and a separated configuration. With said two mating portions in said assembled configuration, said molded rod guide comprises a plurality of flutes, a body portion, a width and a height. Said body portion wraps around said center channel. Said center channel comprises a center axis. Said molded rod guide is configured to selectively surround a portion of a rod by wrapping said center channel around a portion of said rod.
