Core offering

Apergy (operating as ChampionX) designs, manufactures, and distributes engineered equipment, specialty chemicals, and digital monitoring/optimization solutions for upstream and midstream oil and gas operators. Its portfolio spans the industry's only full complement of artificial lift technologies (ESP, gas lift, jet lift, plunger lift, rod lift, progressing cavity pumping), production and midstream chemicals, valves and flow control, chemical injection systems, and emissions monitoring technologies. Distribution is conducted through direct enterprise sales and technical specialists to oil and gas operators globally, supported by brands including Norriseal Wellmark, Wellmark, Harbison-Fischer, UNBRIDLED, PCS Ferguson, Theta, and Windrock.

Product overview

ChampionX (formerly Apergy) is a leading provider of oilfield and gas technology solutions organized into six core product categories: Chemical Technologies (production chemicals, well construction/completion, enhanced oil recovery, water solutions, digitized operations), Artificial Lift Technologies (the industry's only full complement of ESP, gas lift, jet lift, plunger lift, rod lift, progressing cavity pumping, and production optimization software), Digital Monitoring and Optimization (cloud-based AI and IoT solutions including XSPOC software, Quartzdyne sensors, and Windrock monitoring), Valves and Flow Control (Norriseal Wellmark control valves and regulators), Chemical Injection Products (Wellmark pumps and skids), Emissions Technologies (AURA OGI cameras, SOOFIE continuous monitoring, LDAR surveys, drone surveys). The portfolio is supported by numerous specialized sub-brands including Ace Downhole, Alberta Oil Tool, Harbison-Fischer, Norriseal Wellmark, PCS Ferguson, UNBRIDLED ESP Systems, and Theta Automation. ChampionX operates as part of SLB following the 2025 acquisition.

Direct peers

• Innospec: Innospec's Performance Chemicals segment supplies oilfield specialty chemicals for production, midstream, and downstream applications. It competes directly with ChampionX's Chemical Technologies business for production chemistry and asset integrity contracts.
• Halliburton: Halliburton is a global oilfield services major with directly overlapping product lines in ESP systems, gas lift, rod lift, and oilfield specialty chemicals (Multi-Chem). It competes head-to-head with ChampionX for upstream well optimization contracts across both North America and international markets.
• Weatherford International: Weatherford is a long-established oilfield services company with a strong artificial lift portfolio (ESP, gas lift, plunger lift) and production chemicals, making it one of the most direct peers to ChampionX's lift-agnostic model.
• Baker Hughes: Baker Hughes is a global oilfield services major that offers Centrilift ESP systems, artificial lift services, and an oilfield specialty chemicals portfolio. It is one of the closest direct competitors to ChampionX's artificial lift and chemical technologies offering.
• Flowserve: Flowserve is a leading manufacturer of pumps, valves, seals, and flow control automation for the oil & gas, power, and chemical industries. It is directly comparable to ChampionX's Norriseal-Wellmark valves, Jet Lift pump solutions, and ESP pump components.

Emerging players

• RPC Inc. RPC provides a range of oilfield services including pressure pumping, coiled tubing, and well intervention. It is a smaller, U.S.-focused oilfield services peer with partial overlap to ChampionX's well intervention and production optimization services.
• Newpark Resources: Newpark Resources supplies drilling fluids, completion fluids, and oilfield mats to E&P operators. While smaller and more focused than ChampionX, it overlaps with ChampionX's well construction chemistry and drilling fluid additives offerings.
• Oceaneering International: Oceaneering provides offshore oilfield intervention, subsea robotics, and energy services. While more offshore-weighted than ChampionX, it overlaps in well intervention, downhole tooling, and production-support services for upstream operators.

Broad incumbents

• National Oilwell Varco (NOV): NOV is a large, diversified oilfield equipment manufacturer covering drilling rigs, downhole tools, and production equipment. It is a broader incumbent that overlaps with ChampionX on artificial lift hardware and surface equipment for upstream operators.
• SLB (Schlumberger): SLB is now ChampionX's parent and the world's largest oilfield services company. Pre-acquisition, SLB's REDA ESP systems, production chemistry, and digital production platforms directly competed with ChampionX; today SLB is the broader incumbent in which ChampionX is embedded.
