HOUSTON, April 30, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Weir Oil & Gas, a leading upstream provider of pressure pumping and pressure control equipment and services, today introduced Weir Edge, its newly-branded aftermarket services program, at OTC 2018. Weir Edge builds on the company’s strength in services to extend equipment life and reduce total cost of ownership. Weir Edge provides a three-pronged offering: engineers to diagnose the root cause of downtime, specialized field experts to provide repairs and strategically located service centers to offer support, parts, service and customer training. All together, Weir Edge delivers a comprehensive, advanced level of aftermarket services globally.
Providing highly trained engineers who are specialists in their field offers a distinct advantage for oil and gas operators. Weir Edge’s experts look beyond acute problems with equipment to identify and address the cause, preventing future downtime and extending equipment life. Weir’s service model focuses on training engineers and field-service technicians as specialists to ensure operators have access to dedicated expertise – ensuring uptime, all the time.
Weir Edge engineered-repair services return equipment to the field in like-new condition, backed by a guarantee. Repairs can be performed at customer sites or at Weir Oil & Gas service centers located in every North American basin and across the globe. Field operations installation experts receive rigorous training to deliver equipment on time and ensure proper, safe installation. Weir Edge also provides aftermarket parts specifically designed for longer life compared to other OEM parts.
Weir Edge avoids bundling service unnecessarily, focusing instead on delivering customized solutions that address each operator’s unique needs to maximize productivity. Weir Edge field teams also support operators with insights on industry trends and new safety protocols to ensure they stay current and compliant.
“Operators need more than limited aftermarket solutions that focus solely on the symptoms while ignoring the source – more than a dispensary of parts and repairs,” said Bill Marshall, Vice President and General Manager of U.S. Service Centers for Weir Oil & Gas. “Operators need the power of far-reaching expertise and specialized service teams to look further and dig deeper to expand what’s possible and create competitive advantages.”
Today’s announcement is part of Weir’s participation in the 2018 Offshore Technology Conference at NRG Park. Throughout the conference, Weir is demonstrating its innovations to improve reliability and efficiency for oil and gas operations in Booth 3438.
