Water Well Drilling
In the water well drilling operation, there is a very large list of various equipment types with varying lubricant requirements. Over the years, Lubrication Engineers have achieved good success in this industry. The very harsh & rugged environment within which the water well drilling operation is done mean that Lubrication Engineers products can prevent downtime, excessive wear and lessen fuel usage, saving customers a substantial amount of money.
Water well drilling is found all over the world. Company sizes can range from one rig to a large number of rigs and small shallow rigs to large big hole deeper rigs. There are over 8,000 drilling companies operating in the United States alone!
Engines will be used to power rig trucks, crane carriers, water trucks, winch trucks, pickups, power for mud pumps and air compressors. Engines are used in environments that range from very hot to very cold, dry to wet, and long running intervals. Recommended LE products include:
Transmissions will be found in the rig trucks, crane carriers, water trucks, draw-works, mud pumps, and pickups. Both torque converters and manual transmissions are found in this equipment. Due to the heavy loads, sometimes more than the recommended weights over very rough terrain, the equipment can be severely tested. We recommend the following products:
Lubrication Engineers also has products for gears, hydraulics, chains and air compressors.
