Twin Cementer with High Rated Engines and Redundant Hydraulic Systems
Greg’s Equipment Update
Recently deployed Double Cement Pumping Units and more units in production, are equipped with Freemyer Industrial Pressure, L.P. Control System. Our system enables operators to use the intuitive control system in manual or automatic mode. In automatic density mode, the engineered software solution will control the mix water valve, dry cement inlet valve, tub level, and reference desired density setpoints and job design to calculate requirements and automatically adjust.
Real-time adjustments can be made while in automatic mode to density setpoints and overpressure trips. Additionally, real-time data acquisition is configured for wired and wireless remote monitoring. The third parameter exporting capabilities allow for data transfer to third-party system design modeling software or end-user acquisition systems. Post-job reporting, along with cloud sharing, are other features the system has built in.
Please contact us to schedule a demonstration or to discuss how we can install or upgrade your existing equipment with the FIP Control System.

Stick’s Box
"Running to failure" is a term used in equipment, and it has various meanings, all leading to the same results. The goal of the game is to beat the term. Running to failure in a reactive atmosphere happens very quickly; equipment in the field has issues, but it's never communicated and corrected. Upkeep isn't scheduled accordingly with time allotted for proper repairs. Equipment in the yard isn't given the time needed for proper upkeep, and the run-to-failure time narrows.
Practicing maintenance in a proactive environment and using predictive practices is much more beneficial for the complete component's life. The cost per operational hour decreases, and equipment utilization increases. It's not hard to get there; it's practicality.
The levels of maintenance for all the systems can be overwhelming but manageable. Stay on top of sampling all packages on a unit, get the most out of your maintenance for your dollar. Stay proactive; that way, you can concentrate more effort on the things that are costing or hurting the company the most and beat the term. And yes, it's actually very easy. Heston Starkey - Ops Manager
Letter From Len
Tunnels to Towers:
This past Wednesday, I was honored to be invited to the opening event of housing for homeless Veterans, in Houston. I also had the opportunity to meet Frank Siller, the founder of Tunnel to Towers Foundation.
You are probably familiar with them; they pay off mortgages for fallen Veterans and First Responders. Additionally, they build smart homes for those that have been damaged severely on the job or in war and unable to live in a regular house. What a great organization! An impressive 95% of donations go directly to the cause, which is unheard of in our world today.
I wanted to share this with you and also express my gratitude to Tunnels to Towers for making a difference in so many lives. Len Freemyer - President

History:
“Golden Rule” Jones”:
Samuel M. Jones, founder of Acme Sucker Rod Company in 1892, patented a rod design in Toledo, Ohio, solving the issue of broken rods in the oilfield and making him a millionaire. Previously working in various roles in Pennsylvania's oil region, known as "Golden Rule" Jones, he improved workplace conditions and served as Toledo's progressive Republican mayor from 1887 until his on-the-job death in 1904. – AOGHS
Salt-Dome Oilfield discovered in Texas:
In Batson, Texas, a well drilled by W.L. Douglas’ Paraffine Oil Company yielded 600 barrels of oil daily at 790 feet.
Another well, two months later, produced 4,000 barrels a day from 1,000 feet deep.
Together with Spindletop, Sour Lake, and Humble, Batson played a crucial role in establishing the foundation of the Texas oil industry, marking the beginning of Gulf Coast oil exploration. - AOGHS
