CASE STUDY
How Chamco Helped a Major Oil and Gas Company Standardize Air Packages Across Multiple Locations
Project Background
In 2013, one of Canada’s largest crude oil and natural gas producers faced challenges with consistency in its air compressor systems across its oil pad fields due to varying engineering preferences and site-specific requirements.
The company needed to develop a standardized air compressor package to streamline operations, reduce engineering time, and reduce spare parts inventory across multiple locations.
The Challenge
Why the Oil and Gas Company Chose Chamco
As a long-time customer, the company knew they could rely on Chamco for our expertise, experience, and ability to provide high-quality engineered air compressor systems. Chamco’s willingness to collaborate and customize solutions to meet their specific needs further ensured we were the go-to partner for all their air compressor needs.
The company wanted the Sullair ES-6 air compressor. The ES-6 is the only direct-drive compressor of its size on the market, capable of up to 10 horsepower, and known for its high reliability, incredible uptime, and low maintenance. Chamco, as the exclusive supplier of the Sullair ES-6 in Western Canada, was the logical choice to work with.
The Solution
The Results
Since the collaboration began in 2013, Chamco has built around 35 standardized compressor packages for the oil and gas company.
The standardized packages have reduced the variety of spare parts needed, simplifying maintenance and inventory management. The robust ES-6 compressors have ensured high uptime and low maintenance, critical for the company’s unmanned well pad sites.
“By focusing on a collaborative partnership and understanding the company’s specific needs, Chamco provided a reliable and cost-effective standardized air solution.”
