​
Can using Wamco products save our company money?
​
You bet! This is accomplished by the following:
​
-
Less equipment needed to complete the task. Only 1 Man, depending on Company Policy.
-
Less time required to complete the task - 8 - 12 minutes.
-
Reducing injury claims. Everyone in the "Patch" knows of someone who has lost a finger(s) or a hand, by moving (slipped) clamps, or from other injuries caused by falling off wellheads, ladders, tailgates.
-
No expensive ladders, ramps or Man Lifts required.
-
Reduce wear & tear on down-hole equipment - no more leaving a well on Tap/tag. Only minutes to tag/tap, or re-space pump.
-
Increase ROI - The first time Wamco product is used!
Has the Wamco product line undergone Engineering testing?
-
Yes. Acuren Testing of Edmonton, AB Canada completed the tests. Acuren is ISO certified and well known for their work in the Oil & Gas industry.
What material is used in the making of the Wamco product line?
-
Spacers - Aluminum Alloy. Used because of it's lightweight & strength properties. Spacers are extruded, and heat treated so they will not shatter or "fly" apart on you. Under the worst conditions, the Spacers would simply fold. Again - Safety!
-
Adapter Plates - Mild Steel with Powder Coating
Do I require a Service Rig and/or Man-Lift equipment in order to install the Wamco Spacers?
-
No. Depending on your Company Policies, one Person can install the Wamco Spacers in minutes. Please refer to our Spacer Operational Procedures, located under "Products"
Do I need special Safety equipment to use the Wamco Spacer System?
-
No. Simply follow your Company Policy with regards to PPE requirements.
Why should I use the Wamco Suitcase/Stand-off to support the Rod String while I am installing/removing the Spacers from the Carrier Bar? Why not simply use a lower clamp to support the rod string?
-
The Wamco Suitcase is designed with complete safety in mind and consists of 2 - Adapter Plates & a Spacer or Spacers.
-
No danger of the Suitcase kicking out or spreading. The Plates and the Spacer(s) are locked & pinned in place.
-
Having the ability to add or removing Spacers, this concept gives you the flexibility of height required from well to well.
-
No damage to the Polished Rod from installing & removing the clamp. This relates to no damage to the Stuffing Box Packing. No dimpling of the Polished Rod.
