While most of the industry tends to recruit service technicians from experi-enced rig crews, we have followed a different path by recruiting directly from vocational schools and the military services. Technician candidates recruited from these two major sources of talent are already comfortable with formal training courses, have a disciplined approach to following procedures and have great attitudes: they are proud of their company, their skills and their commitment to safety and enjoy helping customers by providing superior service.

Before joining our service team as a full-fledged FMC wellhead technician, every recruit must complete a comprehensive 26-week training program. The curricu-lum includes classroom study in drilling technology and FMC Surface Wellhead products, hands-on lab and field instruc-tion, as well as a rotation through many functional areas of the business. Above all, our service trainees have the FMC Surface Wellhead safety culture ingrained into every aspect of their thinking, planning and job performance. Before graduating, each apprentice must pass a written competency examination.

G a t e V a l v e L u b r i c a t i o n S e r v i c e s Regular lubrication and maintenance of gate valves can substantially prolong the life of your wellhead system. An ongoing program of valve lubrication is simply good business, as it can reduce the frequency and cost of repairs and well shutdowns. Our technicians flush treating fluids, lubricate bearings and fill the valve body with grease for a single well (for instance, after the equipment has been exposed to corrosive chemicals) or on a routine basis as part of a total field lubrication program.
On your valve lubrication maintenance calls, our highly trained and experienced technicians follow a strict schedule of procedures step-by-step to assure thoroughness and uniform service throughout the life cycle of the equipment. They are also guided by detailed reports (including photographs and schematics) that document the size, working pressure, serial numbers and manufacture of each piece of equipment on each wellhead.

R e p a i r a n d A s s e t M a n a g e m e n t The useful life of your surface wellhead components often exceeds the life of your wells. Managing and utilizing these assets throughout their life cycle can yield significant savings by reducing or eliminating the need to purchase new equipment.
FMC Surface Wellhead technicians help you extend the life of your wellhead equipment in two ways: (1) by a regular schedule of maintenance and prompt repairs for all the components of your wellhead and keeping them in top working order, or
you in the active management of the life cycles of your wellhead equipment inventories. With FMC Surface Wellhead’s “cradle to grave” information management system, you can track every wellhead asset from invoice to repair history to the asset’s life and whereabouts after it is removed from the wellsite and placed in customer property (CP) or on to a new wellsite to sell or scrap. With our asset-tracking system, you can track and manage every component of every installed wellhead system or CP inventory on your laptop from anywhere in the world.

S e r v i c e A well workover is no time to discover problems with the wellhead. Your FMC Surface Wellhead technicians can help prevent costly workover rig and crew downtime by identifying and documenting the installed equipment and verifying the proper functioning of all wellhead components before the rig arrives. This inspection includes tests for pressure leaks, valve inspection to assure proper functioning, prepping the bolts for fast and easy removal and any necessary repairs. Our technicians also provide test results and documentation for each wellhead as the units are scheduled for workover or moving.
