Twin Cementer with High Rated Engines and Redundant Hydraulic Systems
Greg’s Equipment Update
The need to improve underutilized equipment is still ongoing and will continue as operations demand more power, and increasing efficiencies are a necessity.
We are currently in the final stages of completing several Double Cement Pumping Units. This project involved existing legacy equipment that is now considered underpowered and was underutilized. This deep restoration included utilizing the existing chassis and triplex pump assemblies. Our engineered solution, similar to what was previously mentioned in April, was an ideal fit.
These units are now equipped with two (2) higher-rated diesel engines. Each engine has a redundant hydraulic system to help eliminate interruptions to mixing operations and increase efficiencies. Other upgrades included plumbing redundancies, an additional centrifugal pump, two (2) densitometers (mixing densitometer and downhole densitometer).
A new operating system has been installed - the FIP Control System with mixing water valve control, dry cement inlet valve control, tub level, and real-time data acquisition for remote monitoring; and parameter exporting for third-party system design modeling software.
These Double Cement Pumping Unit fleets will be deployed soon after completing endurance testing.
Please contact us to learn more about how we can be your equipment solutions provider for your current and future operational requirements. Greg Leos - VP
Letter From Len
Help Others Become Successful:
Success is not too complicated; you have "to get things done." Do it yourself or ask for help or give help; these are the three ways to get it done.
Obviously, doing everything yourself produces less than getting help or giving help. You can only become successful as your own time and efforts allow.
Outstanding success comes through expanding efforts through others. Have you heard the saying "to have a friend, you must be a friend"? This is sort of the concept.
Helping others be successful, and then they help you when you need it. It may sound corny, but it sure makes life more enjoyable. A fellow named Clint, whom I worked with early on in my oilfield life, helped me with everything. I did my best to help him back, but I always felt he did more for me. He was so talented at fixing things and so confident at work, and I grew stronger just by associating with him.
In a company, the boss should help those working for him, and all those should help the customer be successful.
Just help them. Len Freemyer - President
QUICK HITS
History:
Snake Hollow Gusher:
The “Snake Hollow Gusher” of McKeesport, Pennsylvania, revealed a natural gas field that soon attracted hundreds of exploration companies. Drilled near the Monongahela River southeast of Pittsburgh, the discovery well produced 60 million cubic feet of gas a day. The drilling frenzy it inspired resulted in $35 million invested in a nine-square-mile area. “Many residents signed leases for drilling on their land,” the local newspaper reported. “They bought and sold gas company stock on street corners and in barbershops transformed into brokerage houses.” AOGHS
The Father of Route 66:
Cyrus Avery, the "Father of Route 66," arrived in Oklahoma in 1897, initially selling life insurance in Oklahoma City. In 1908, during the Tulsa oil boom, he founded the Avery Oil and Gas Company. By 1916, after calling Tulsa a "little town without lights" with "pigs running loose in the streets," he played a key role in creating Route 66, championing the state road plan and national highway numbering system for the iconic Chicago to Los Angeles route.- AOGHS
