The Weir Oil & Gas Services Deer Park team has been awarded a contract from Kinder Morgan Energy Partners, the largest transporter of petroleum products and liquid C02 in the United States. The company is the second largest oil producer in Texas and the largest independent terminal operator in the United States, operating more than 37,000 pipelines in North America. Weir Oil & Gas repaired a critical Peerless 48” vertical turbine booster pump located at the KMP pipeline station in Pasadena, Texas, where product is transported from the KMP tank farm to the main pipeline. Kinder Morgan would have failed delivery obligations to their customers and limit the ability to take vital product deliveries into the terminal if downtime was extended in excess of 4-6 days. Weir Oil & Gas Services provided technical guidance and project management around the clock in order to limit the delivery cycle. The unit repairs were complete in the specified timeline and the unit returned to operation without any lost opportunities for Kinder Morgan.
