Fluid Ends Engineered for the Oilfield Deliver a Competitive Advantage
Well services equipment must endure the toughest environments. Pressure pumping operators need reliable solutions and know their fleet is only as strong as its most sensitive components. Critical pump consumables such as fluid ends must be built to last no matter the operating conditions.
Answering the call for material durability and reliability, the SPM™ EXL Fluid End is engineered for continuous duty and designed to withstand extreme operating requirements. With streamlined manufacturing processes and upgraded components, EXL fluid ends are field proven to last more than 2,500 hours – up to 50% more than the industry average fluid end lifespan of 1,600 hours. This enhanced performance helps lengthen service intervals, boost operational efficiency and lower total cost of ownership (TCO).
The EXL Fluid End’s extended design life delivers consistent results from controlled manufacturing processes. Designed for longer intervals, the EXL Fluid End eliminates manual processes such as hand blending in the cross-bore, resolves a leading cause of stress fracture and minimizes the risk of improper installation. EXL fluid ends are also engineered to resist packing wear and wash.1 The rugged design features the patented SPM Everbore™ hardened steel packing bore, which safeguards fluid end life by reducing the likelihood of washboarding or its effects while resleeving to keep the fluid ends running - even in harsh conditions.2
Enhanced serviceability makes a fluid end easier to own. Design attributes that simplify maintenance and remove personnel from the red zone are attractive to today’s well service companies. The EXL Fluid End supports these needs with a design and tooling that supports quick, efficient and safe maintenance. Additionally, the EXL Fluid End ‘s compatibility with multiple SPM frac pumps affords flexibility while enabling maintenance synergies.
Investing in a fluid end that promotes pump longevity and operational efficiency can provide sitewide benefits. A purpose-built fluid end can help ensure critical equipment performs reliably, which helps reduce pump-related NPT as well as lower TCO in an increasingly competitive industry sector.

SPM™ EXL Fluid End
SPM EXL Fluid Ends are engineered to help reduce the total cost of ownership by withstanding extreme pressure pumping conditions, accommodating longer service intervals, and minimizing downtime. Combined, SPM Oil & Gas’ streamlined manufacturing processes, upgraded components, optimized geometry, and advanced materials simplify service so there is minimal NPT. The EXL fluid end design features patented technology that combat the most common and critical fluid end challenges such as reducing washboarding by 3X. This allows customers to pump for more hours with less unplanned maintenance.

SPM™ EXL Frac Pump
A service provider wanted to reduce pump-related NPT during hydraulic fracturing treatments in the Haynesville Shale. With extended pumping hours, 13,000-psi treating pressure, and poor sand quality, the company’s pumping equipment required above-average maintenance and downtime. Bringing the highest rod load in its class, the SPM® EXL Frac Pump delivered zero NPT and enabled the operator to increase pumping hours despite the Haynesville’s harsh fracing conditions. With a fleet of SPM® EXL Frac Pumps, the company is estimated to save an hour of pumping time per day—generating a cost savings of more than $1 million per fleet.
