Gas lift mandrels are under attack from the time they are run downhole, often being impacted by residual frac fluids and other elements found in the wellbore environment. In many applications, BLAZE®-treated gas lift mandrels are proving themselves better able to withstand a wide range of downhole conditions and provide significantly longer life than conventional […]

An ESP is only as reliable as its weakest component, and in many cases that “weakest component” is the AR Bearing. Conventional AR Bearings are made of Tungsten Carbide, which is highly abrasion resistant. However, these bearings are also prone to fracture when subjected to extreme temperature variations, vibrations, or impact during installation. Fractured bearings […]

Now proven in thousands of wells, BLAZE® metal-surface treatment technology is setting new standards for endurance and overall performance. Across all oil and gas producing regions, BLAZE is dramatically increasing the run life of pumps, plungers, valves, guides, couplings, trim kits, and other artificial lift components. BLAZE metal treatment technology enhances the run life of […]

BLAZE® treated parts are helping operators achieve dramatic run-life improvements in rod lift. BLAZE allows operators to minimize tubing wear, reduce friction, combat corrosion and mitigate abrasion in high sand environments. The bottom line? Extended time between replacement, reduced production losses from downtime, and lower equipment and repair costs. Nearly 3x more run life for […]

“…B4C treatment more than tripled plunger run life.” BLAZE®-treated plungers were put to the test on 8 wells in the Pinedale Anticline, and the results are reported in the June edition of The American Oil and Gas Reporter. PureWest Energy conducted the test in conjunction with Endurance Lift Solutions. Find the full article here.                           […]

With up to 3x run life and lower coefficient of friction, BLAZE® couplings help reduce tubing wear
