New fluid cleaning system for drilling rigs
The new Enviro-Pur fluid cleaning system helps increase equipment uptime and lower overall maintenance costs by maintaining the quality of lubricating fluids used by all types of drilling rig equipment, and by reducing the overall consumption of those fluids.
The system was developed in a collaborative project with Felderhoff Bros. Drilling, Gainesville, Tex.
Gear lube is cleaned while the rig is running, helping maximize uptime and reduce equipment breakdown. To ensure that oil is running clean, the firm works with an independent third party lab to provide written analysis of lubrication sample results on all rigs equipped with the system.

New gauge available for sour gas service
This new National Association of Corrosion Engineers-compliant gauge promises instrumentation safety and reliable performance in sour gas uses.
Meeting NACE International Standards MR0175-2002, gauges come standard with a pressure release disk, so that in case of failure, release of pressure may be discharged out the back of the gauge. It features a standard laminated safety glass lens for added protection.
The gauge meets the industry’s minimum hardness requirements and is warrantied for 5 years.

New cementing service designed to increase well life
The new WellLife III cementing service is designed to increase the economic life of wells.
The solution incorporates diagnostics tools, engineered cement systems, and zonal isolation assurance tool.
The service is an interventionless react-and-respond solution designed to help address the industry-wide challenge of the loss of zonal isolation due to changes in the wellbore that can stress the cement sheath and lead to destabilization at any point during the life of the well.
WellLife III enables zonal isolation over time, even when the well is subjected to various stresses. The cementing service is designed to stop the flow of unwanted fluid and gas in the annulus at any time during the life of the well, preserving production while reducing or even eliminating remediation.
