OKLAHOMA CITY -- Wood Group ESP has opened a new service facility in Bogota, Colombia dedicated to the overhaul, assembly and testing of electric submersible pumps (ESPs). The facility is the first of its kind for Wood Group in the country.

The facility is expected to decrease turnaround time and provide additional service options for local clients, including equipment dismantling and failure analysis, new equipment assembly, spare parts inventory management, surface pumping system (SPS) assembly and repair, variable speed drive (VSD) testing and repair, and power and cable repair.

Clients will also have the option to inspect, repair, and test units after they have been pulled from wells, the company says.
