LIFTING THE FLUIDS
THAT POWER THE WORLD
In the operation of equipment, the quality of the manufactured product is of paramount importance. The final and one of the most critical stages of quality assurance is the testing of installation components at service bases before they begin operation in a well. Each Novomet pumping unit undergoes a complete set of acceptance tests before shipment.
Testing stands are used for this purpose. Their main function is to confirm the suitability of products and their characteristics (electrical, hydraulic, mechanical) in accordance with the technical requirements of the customer. Typically, this is the last stage of equipment verification.
Novomet manufactures stands for both acceptance testing and periodic testing. In the first case, it involves checking serially produced equipment. Such stands are located at production sites in each assembly shop and in every separate division of the company. In the second case, the stand equipment is designed by Novomet specialists according to the individual requirements of the customer, after which it is manufactured and delivered to the production area for assembly, calibration, and commissioning.
"We can conduct extended tests with the measurement of additional parameters based on a specialized technical assignment," explains Mikhail Politov, head of non-standard equipment production at Novomet. "The main advantage of our stands is the ability to meet individual customer requirements under specific conditions. The company has separate teams of developers for automated control systems, software, mechanics, hydraulics, and pneumatics, who are ready and capable of addressing various requirements."
Each stand is designed for testing a specific type of equipment. The main types of stand equipment at Novomet include:
"This results in low errors in measured parameters, implemented with first-class accuracy, allowing for a more precise determination of equipment characteristics," adds Mikhail Politov. "The uniqueness lies precisely in the selection of such precise equipment and, most importantly, in the ability to work with it, measure parameters, convert them into software, and ultimately produce an automatic test protocol."
Moreover, Novomet's testing stands represent a fully proprietary assembly production, offering a wide range capable of testing the entire spectrum of submersible and surface equipment from measurement engine blocks to control stations, as well as associated technological equipment for assembly productions and service centers designed to ensure service and operation of submersible and surface equipment.

Novomet artificial lift services
Lifting the fluids that power the world
The path forward for responsible oil and gas production is to always look for new ways to reduce the cost required to find, tap, and produce a barrel of oil or a cubic meter of gas. Most oilfield services companies are heavily focused on exploration and drilling.
By contrast, Novomet is hyper-focused on completions and artificial lift. More specifically, Novomet is a leader among oilfield service companies with superior technologies that produce higher volumes of hydrocarbons while helping lower the overall cost of production.
The goal is to continuously make more oil and gas with less effort, cost, and environmental impact. The next great breakthroughs in the oil and gas industry will not come from new exploration, drilling, pipeline, or refining technology. Rather, they will come from advances in our ability to economically produce more hydrocarbons from the wells we are already drilling. They will come from artificial lift technologies.
Our purpose is simple and straight-forward: We lift the fluids that power the world. Our mission is to harvest what other oilfield service companies leave behind, reduce the power and cost required to produce hydrocarbons, and develop viable green energy solutions.

Oilfield services and the energy industry
People, businesses, and economies have more opportunities to grow when they have access to safe, affordable sources of energy. Electricity keeps us warm, helps us stay healthy, and drives speed and agility in commerce. The goal of the energy industry is to provide power for as low a cost and with as little environmental impact as possible.
Renewable energy sources remain a priority. As costs come down for geothermal, solar, wind, hydro-electric, and other alternative forms of energy, there will be less dependence and need for oil and gas. Until that happens, the most economical and environmentally responsible path forward is to continue to find and produce enough hydrocarbons to meet the world’s energy demands.
Novomet remains dedicated to helping energy companies harvest the hydrocarbons they need to power the world—for as low an environmental and economic impact as possible. When you think artificial lift (oil and gas, geothermal, mine dewatering, etc.) think Novomet.
