OTC 2019: AFGlobal produces marine control device, variable displacement frac pump

Offshore staff

HOUSTON– AFGlobal has earned two OTC Spotlight Awards.

The first is for the active control device. This provides the prerequisite seal and diversion of annular wellbore returns using a novel, non-rotating device enabled by an actively pressurized, co-molded element.

This purpose-built device eliminates the bearings and rotating components that are a regular source of maintenance and failure in conventional rotating control devices.

The second is for the DuraStim 6,000-HP hydraulic fracturing pump. This is said to be the industry’s first variable displacement frac pump.

Built for the extreme demands of long duration, high-pressure fracturing, the pump dramatically lowers the cost of ownership, improves operational performance and creates many new safety and environmental advantages.

AFGlobal is exhibiting at booths #938 and 10715.
