Gardner Denver Pumps
Acidizing, the process of pumping acid downhole, is one of the most commonly used methods for improving production. This process can be used during the initial stimulation and fracturing process to provide a clean wellbore, to enhance fractures, or as an intervention technique to restore production rates by dissolving materials that are blocking the pathways created in the formation.
Challenge:
In any heavy-duty acidizing treatment (acid frac, matrix acidizing or acid stimulation), success of the acidizing can be linked to the pressure and flow rates associated with the well servicing pump utilized to complete the job. In any pumping service, including acidizing, the operator is reliant upon the equipment to safely, and efficiently complete the job. Unplanned downtime can cause an operator to lose revenue and even lose a customer. The operator has to be able to depend on his equipment.
Solution:
GD Energy Products’ comprehensive line-up of pumps suited for acidizing applications means customers can feel confident their equipment will provide reliable performance as they help their customers ensure optimal well production. Backed by customer service, a Parts on Demand program and unmatched service and repair support, GD Energy Products’ lineup of acidizing pumps are built to get you through the toughest jobs.
Primary cementing is performed on every new well in order to protect underground water tables from contamination and to protect the steel casing from corrosion or collapse. Other oilwell cementing applications include setting kick-off plugs and plug and abandonment.
Whether pumping cement downhole to seal casing into place or sealing a lost circulation zone, cementing is critical in ensuring wellbore integrity. Primary cementing is performed on every new well in order to protect underground water tables from contamination and to protect the steel casing from corrosion or collapse. Other oilwell cementing applications include setting kick-off plugs and plug and abandonment.
Challenge:
In any oilfield cementing application, the cement must be carefully formulated to meet the needs of the wellbore, and the pumps must get the job done before the cement sets. Considering the length and complexity of today’s wells, reliable pumping systems are critical to a cementing application’s success.
Solution:
GD Energy Products’ comprehensive line-up of cement pumps and associated centrifugal charge pumps provide reliable performance in any cementing application. Backed by 24/7 customer service, a Parts on Demand program and unmatched service and repair support, GD Energy Products’ lineup of cementing pumps are built to get you through the toughest jobs.
The tubing arrives on site coiled around a reel and is fed down the wellbore using a mechanically or hydraulically driven injector. Various fluids are pumped through the tubing to complete one or more of the numerous applications.
Challenge:
The continued growth in lateral length in today’s wells has necessitated longer runs of larger tubing and greater pump capability to convey adequate pressure and flow to complete the application at hand. With so much demand placed on the equipment, it’s vital to have pumps that can handle everything the application requires.
Solution:

To keep up with the demand for more fuel efficiency on less capital, pressure pumpers are investing in electric motor and gas turbine fleets. With an 80% fuel savings awarded to operators who opt for natural gas, there is a high incentive for operators to go in this direction.
In addition to fuel efficiency, the use of electric motor and gas turbine fleets have given a pathway to higher horsepower per unit and larger pumps. More horsepower means more flow per unit, and fewer units on-site means less capital equipment.
Along with operating in a more demanding fracturing environment comes a need for more environmentally friendly options due to regulations. Certain firms can only trade stocks with companies that are ESG compliant. As a result, companies will need to approach the future with this growing requirement in mind.
Gas-Powered Pump Installed With Latest Technology
With the new Thunder 5000 pump, companies can now realize the savings of their long-term investment toward their electric motor or gas-turbine fleet. This pump comes designed with an external planetary gearbox allowing pressure pumpers the versatility to drive on their choice of frac fleets.
It’s offset shape brings the crankshaft back to center and makes it easier for installation. It comes available in various gearbox ratios. While the standard gearing inside of the gearbox reduces the speed from 7.5 to 1 ratio, almost every gas-turbine and electric-driven package will use a 11:2:1 ratio.
The Thunder 5000 comes with an 11-inch stroke as opposed to the standard 8-inch pump. It produces the same flow at a 10% slower speed than our competition and accumulates fatigue cycles slower to last longer. The fluid end utilizes GD Energy Products’ latest technology including the NX geometry and the complete line of Redline consumables.
The fluid end is secured with 12 thru-bolts going all the way through the forged bearing rings. Instead of the force focused on the nose plate, it is distributed across more material.
With the right gearbox selection, customers can run at full 5,000 HP and achieve the maximum flow and pressure capability of the pump. Alternatively, customers can run existing drivers, commonly 2250 – 3000 HP, in front of the Thunder Quint. While the engine horsepower limitation will cap the flow capabilities, customers can still experience the benefit of much longer pump life vs traditional pumps.
Trenchless Technology for Underground Construction
Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) is a trenchless method for installing pipes and cables underground. The process involves boring a tunnel beneath the surface where trenching is not practical.
Boring underground requires drilling fluid that combines water and bentonite clay to help remove cuttings, stabilize the bore, cool the cutting tools, and lubricate pipe string. As the process comes to life, the drilling pump rotates the drill bit which then removes the material. As the drill bit is rotating, the pressure and fluid produced by the drill pump helps stabilize the tunnel. The mud extracted from this process is then filtered and reused for drilling fluid.
HDD is a process usually deployed when installing pipes and cables underneath roads, rivers and other types of infrastructure. Therefore, most jobs come with a challenging set of parameters that demand high rates of accuracy, efficiency, and effectiveness. Equipment manufacturers and end-users can trust our +160 years of experience manufacturing pumps for both petroleum and industrial industries.
HDD Pumps
Horizontal directional drilling pumps—also known as drill pumps, HDD mud pumps, and high flow pumps—provide an essential service to the HDD industry.
Our HDD industry pumps offer higher flow rates at slower speeds, ranging from 200 to more than 1000 gpm at pressures exceeding 2000 PSI. Through this more efficient operation, we can help extend the life of our pumps and consumable parts, even in the most demanding HDD projects.
Our lineup of dedicated high pressure HDD pumps come in a lightweight design that eases the burden of transportation and setup while also maximizing their power potential. With max rod loads ratings up to 53,000 and horsepower up to 800 BHP, our HDD high flow pumps can handle tough jobs with ease.
