Oil and Gas

The needs of the oil and gas industry are extremely complex and diversified. Applications range from drill heads and fluid ends for upstream oilfield equipment, to transport, downstream hydrocarbon processing, and much more. The demands and extreme working environment equipment operate in can be extraordinary.

Drill bits produce a wellbore to extract crude oil and natural gas. They can produce diameters up to 30 inches and penetrate to 30,000 feet. Subsurface material is broken apart mechanically by cutting elements of the bit by scraping, grinding, or fracking. The cuttings produced by the bit removed from the wellbore and returned to the surface by direct circulation.

Hydraulic fracturing uses frac pumps to transmit fracking fluid into the wellbore. Each frac fleet uses around 18-20 frac pumps. These pumps consist of two major components, the power end and the fluid end. Fluid ends perform the high pressure injection of fluid into the well and are subjected to extreme force.

According to Hydrocarbon Processing, of all the process operations in a refinery or petrochemical plant, heating and cooling streams are perhaps the most pervasive. A typical refinery has anywhere from 200 exchangers, on the low end, to almost 350 for a large, complex refinery.

Manifolds and valves support interruption-free flow diversion in oil and gas production. They are designed to converge multiple junctions into a single channel or diverge a single channel into multiple junctions. Manifolds are used to divert oil or gas from: the separator to crude oil burners for disposal, to surge or gauge tanks for measurement or storage, or direct flow to a production line, maintain flow when testing requires certain equipment be pulled out of service.

TARUS has a number of solutions for equipment providers ranging from our gundrilling and BTA deephole drilling machines for tube sheets to our exciting new UNIMAX Universal series for drill bits, fluid ends and valves/manifolds.
