SPM™ WS 335 Frac Pumps Can Consistently Pump 20 Hours Per Day Across Multiple Fleets
Rugged Pump Resists Frame Cracking for Reliable, Near-Continuous-Duty Performance
Downtime and non-productive time (NPT) are the enemies of pressure pumping companies across every basin. Conventional frac pumps can crack as companies push equipment to near-continuous duty, increasing capital and operating expenses. SPM™ Oil & Gas engineers designed the SPM™ WS 335 Frac Pump to eliminate a leading cause of pump failure and resulting NPT to meet companies’ uptime demands.
Our WS 335 features an exceptionally heavy-duty, single-piece cast frame that eliminates failure points to help ensure long-lasting performance compared to traditional welded frac pumps. An optimized lubrication system featuring an integrated relief valve, as well as on-board pressure regulation and filtration, delivers consistent oil pressure across critical components to mitigate lubrication-related failures. An enhanced drivetrain and soft bearings, along with forged bull gears and crankshaft, increase the pump’s run life and reliability. This design allows the standardization of parts to support field serviceability, reducing the number of part variations that must be kept in stock.
Pairing the formidable strength of the WS 335 with the Pump Electronic Monitoring System (PEMS) provides valuable insight into the health and performance of the pump. PEMS continuously monitors power ends and fluid ends. It sends notifications to personnel before failure modes for such concerns as cavitation and leaking can be triggered so that catastrophic equipment losses can be prevented.
SPM Oil & Gas has enabled pressure pumping operators to optimize their pumping performance to exceed 5,000 horsepower, and the company can provide specially designed pump trailers that support project needs. With the integrity of the WS 335 pump’s frame ensured, and the typical minor and major maintenance concerns with traditional pumps avoided, internal components can be fine-tuned to further enhance performance and lower total cost of ownership (TCO).
The durable WS 335 with PEMS has been proven to operate optimally for 20 hours a day for 30 days at a time with just four hours of planned downtime for maintenance. This helps oilfield service providers to attain performance levels that are not commonly experienced in the field.
In addition to the insight PEMS provides to make predictable maintenance intervals possible, operators can benefit from skilled technicians and local engineering experts. SPM Oil & Gas service centers are no more than three hours from every U.S. basin for aftermarket repairs, if needed, and digital empowerment tools for its crews.
