Title:: Oil well supply company

Collection:: Economics Books

years 1900 and 1901 the Imperial Works of the Oil Well Supply Company was built at Qil City for the manufacture of general oil well supplies. It began with a working force of 800 men and at the present time employs 1,100 men. This is the company’s largest factory and covers 45 acres. At this plant are manufactured “Oilwell” drilling engines, “Black Bear” gas engines, Imperial “Mud Hog” and Im- perial “Giant Mud Hog” pumps, “Oilwell” pumping powers and pumping equipment, “Oilwell”’ rotary drilling equipment and other miscellaneous supplies. This factory is the home of the famous “Imperial Rotary,” which a few years ago quite revolutionized rotary drilling—a rotary which “makes up” (screws together) and “breaks out” (unserews) drill pipe, casing and tool joints without manual labor and in less than half the usual time required for this work. In 1900 the first boiler factory was opened at Oswego, N. Y., with a working force of 30 men. The present boiler factory employs 800 men and covers five acres. Here all types of oil country boilers are made—*“A. S. M.. E.” Code and Non-Code, “A. P. I.,” Canadian and British Burma in locomotive type, and horizontal tubular in “A. S. M. E.” rode type. In 1908 a factory was built at Bradford for the manu- facture of all types of packers. In order to take care of the Pacific Coast trade, a Los Angeles factory was started in 1908, and at the present time covers five acres. In addition to the factories named, the company maintains over 100 branches, located in the various oil fields of the United States, 20 of which are branch machine shops, and the re- mainder branch stores, with complete stocks of oil field equip- ment. Frequently special tools must be made for special cases, or immediate repair work is required to save time and expense on a well. With “Oilwell” shops right in the field. prompt service can be given. Most of the employees of the company are veterans in the business and their accurate knowledge is a most valuable factor. Its engineers are constantly studying various con- ditions and perfecting suitable equipment to meet them. The company has exhibited and taken first prizes at the World’s Fair in Paris, in 1900. and at Turin, Italy, in 1911.
