New Facility Underlines Services for Oil and Gas Industry

A leading global manufacturer of progressing cavity pumps and associated equipment has increased the strength of its offering to customers in the global oil and gas industry with the creation of a new Oil and Gas office in the UK. Working from its new Southampton base, the NOV Mono (UK) Oil & Gas Solutions team will provide dedicated industry expertise and support for customers in many different areas of the oil and gas sector.

“Mono is widely recognised for the many years of experience it has in a whole host of different industries,” comments Group Sales Director, Simon Lambert. “However, customers in a specialised field such as oil and gas demand expert support, and the creation of our new office will underline the fact that we can provide exactly that.

“The NOV Mono team in Southampton has vast experience in delivering technical support to oil and gas customers and is ideally placed to advise on any transfer pump application details for process and separation duties. They can also provide customers with access to the tremendous expertise and problem-solving abilities that lie within the wider NOV Mono organisation.”

The creation of the new office complements NOV Mono’s launch of a new range of API 676-compliant EZstrip progressing cavity (PC) pumps. Mono’s PC technology is ideally suited to arduous oil and gas applications where solids-entrained multiphase fluids, crude oil, drilling muds, drill cuttings and produced waters need to be transferred with a steady flow and low shear.

The new self-priming API 676 pumps provide a practical and reliable solution which helps prevent emulsification and also resists the effects of abrasion. They also feature Mono’s EZstrip technology which allows them to be disassembled and fully maintained  in-place, and are ideal for many types of oil, gas and mud handling duties in drilling, exploration, production, processing and separation operations. They can be manufactured from different materials to suit different applications - ranging from mild steel and stainless steels through to traceable and NACE-certified duplex steels.

Mono’s track record as a supplier of PC pumps to the oil and gas industry is reinforced by its associations with parent company, National Oilwell Varco (NOV), which has been a world-leader in providing advanced technology solutions to this sector since 1841.
