just for perspective. here the top end off a Halliburton Frac pump 4000 series Detroit/MTU. I did a headgasket fire ring update on. very similar in size to the 3500 series Cats.

 

I broke out on GMV'S and GMX's the plant they were in was 142 degrees on a cool day.. they had 5 Solar Turbines turning the Bingham pumps as well

 

The pic I posted is of a Halliburton HQ-2000. My yard does not have any of the high horse detroits. We just have a few of the old v12s on some of our smaller twin pumps, all the old Crown built pumps with 4000's left long ago for canada. We have been getting a lot of v16 cummins engines on our new trucks. We have some pumps with 2 c32 cats pumping out 1500 hp a piece 2 9800's and 2 triplex pumps. It weighs in at 110,000 lbs.

I wish we still had a few 4000's. I have never seen one pump, but I hear they do a little talking.

I'll post some pics of some of our units. I have a few good ones...

 

I used to build hydraulics at Crown in Calgary years ago. on all the service equipment, fracs, coil tubers, N2s, chem vans, blenders........lots of custom stuff too.

actually we built a custom Blender for Sanjel that moved more water per miute on our test stand than the Elbow river that flows through Calgary moves in summer. it was awesome.

 

Oh hows the patch down there running full steam ahead still or major slowdown? if it lows donw much more here I'll be looking for work



......say you know anyone needs an oilfield experienced journeyman HD mechanic? Redseal from Alberta

 

That 4000 looks brand new, I assume that is a crown? What yard is still buying those? All we run are Halliburton built pumps here.

 

We have slowed down a little. Just enough to catch a break every now and then. My boss would hire you... We need all the experiance we can get. We are hurting bad for quality mechanics.

 

That Halli 4000 is a high hour unit. it is in for refurbishing. we've got 20 Halliburton 4000 to update the engines on and overhaul the 9800s. and another outfit is doing the trailers and pumps.

 

that sounds like a funn job
whats easyer to work on those big motors or our little ones ?

 

I may just have to give you guys a look if I need a new job in the future. What is the yearly pay for a new guy with OTR truck experience? If you dn't mind my asking.

I hear ya on the heat It gets pretty hot in that building especially in the summer. Its nice though in the winter.


Well, in the 3 weeks worth of winter we get down here!

 

I made $58,000 my first year, and I had no diesel or ort experiance.

 

Wish i would have caught a picture of the Schlumbeger pump blowin flames the other da when it was -40 It was pretty sweet to watch a pumper blowing 6' flames.

 

Trican Well Services is more then likely looking for a Journeyman HD especially expierance with pumps and coil units.

 

Where are they out of? I may think about it if it works for me.
