letourneau mud pump factory

Houston, Texas -- To eliminate equipment compatibility issues and the prospect of additional spare-parts inventories for drilling contractors, the LeTourneau Ellis Williams Company (LEWCO) can factory-equip its heavy-duty W-Series and general-duty WH-Series mud pumps with virtually any major brand of fluid end module. Customers not specifying a particular brand receive LEWCO"s standard one-piece or two-piece fluid end modules made of quenched and tempered forged steel, featuring "off the shelf" expendables readily available from domestic and international sources.

LEWCO mud pumps are in-house manufactured. For maximum quality assurance -- with job-ready performance verified in advance -- every pump is tested under full load prior to shipment, in the company"s fully equipped, million-dollar "mud pump laboratory." LEWCO pumps provide input ratings of 300 to 3,000 horsepower (224 kW to 2,237 kW) and deep-drilling discharge pressures as great as 7,500 pounds per square inch (527 kg/cm2). Their premium components include a pressurized lubrication system that force-feeds lubricant to all power-end bearings including upper and lower crosshead slides; a balanced forged steel crankshaft that reduces noise and vibration and helps extend component life throughout the pump; and a robust frame of double-wall, welded-steel, mounted on a heavy-duty oilfield skid.

The LeTourneau Ellis Williams Company builds high-performance mud pumps for oil and gas drilling (on land and offshore), petroleum production and processing, well-servicing, and horizontal directional drilling; as well as ancillary drilling products including pulsation dampeners; drawworks; rotary tables, transmissions, and drives; and swivels. Located in Houston, Texas, LEWCO is a wholly owned subsidiary of LeTourneau Incorporated, a leading manufacturer of self-elevating offshore drilling rigs, forestry equipment, and wheel loaders.

Continental Emsco Drilling Products, Inc., which consisted of Emsco drilling machinery and Wilson mobile rigs, was purchased by National-Oilwell, Inc on July 7, 1999. To our knowledge, no pumps have been manufactured and sold under the Emsco brand name since National-Oilwell acquired them.

Fairbanks Morse pumps are currently manufactured in Kansas City, Kansas. Fairbanks Morse is a division of Pentair ever since August, 1997 when Pentair purchased the General Signal Pump Group.

Gaso pumps are manufactured by National Oilwell Varco. Gaso was acquired as "Wheatley Gaso" by National-Oilwell in the year 2000. At the time, Wheatley Gaso was owned by Halliburton.

Skytop Brewster pumps are no longer available as new pumps. Skytop Brewster(Cnsld Gold), a unit of Hansen PLC"s Consolidated Gold Fields subsidiary, was acquired while in bankruptcy by National-Oilwell, Inc. in November, 1999.

The Ellis Williams Company, Inc. (EWCO), Houston, Texas, is a manufacturer of premium reciprocating mud pumps, which are used in oilfield drilling and workover operations. The founder, Mr. Ellis Williams, is a pioneer in mud pump design and manufacture. EWCO was owned by Michael and Shirley Williams, and Bob and Ken Gibbs. The owners engaged DAG to find a buyer with two objectives in mind – shareholder liquidity and the ability to expand the EWCO pump line. After an extensive search, DAG negotiated the sale of EWCO to Rowan Companies, Inc. (NYSE:RDC) subsidiary LeTourneau, Inc. EWCO was sold at an attractive multiple which was well received by each shareholder. Management stayed in place through a transition period.

The Company has been renamed LEWCO and has greatly expanded in its operations under the Rowan/LeTourneau ownership. Mr. Ellis Williams still serves as a consultant to LEWCO and realized one of his career dreams when the first EWCO 3,000 horsepower pump was completed in early 2002.

Manufacturing utilizes the latest technologies to produce accurate and uniform parts. All products offered are either OEM or completely interchangeable. All fluid end accessories are available for most triplex and duplex mud pumps.

The 2,200-hp mud pump for offshore applications is a single-acting reciprocating triplex mud pump designed for high fluid flow rates, even at low operating speeds, and with a long stroke design. These features reduce the number of load reversals in critical components and increase the life of fluid end parts.

The pump’s critical components are strategically placed to make maintenance and inspection far easier and safer. The two-piece, quick-release piston rod lets you remove the piston without disturbing the liner, minimizing downtime when you’re replacing fluid parts.
