WeldFit Corporation

What WeldFit Corporation does

WeldFit Corporation is a Houston-headquartered, privately held manufacturer and service provider founded in 1970 that designs and produces equipment for oil and gas pipeline operators, transmission companies, and midstream operators across North America. The company operates across three product/service lines: Pipeline Intervention (hot tapping, line stopping, in-service welding, and pipeline fittings); Flow Assurance (launchers and receivers, slug catchers, pigging services, and pipeline pigs under the SLp brand); and Emissions Management, anchored by the proprietary ReCAP cross compression technology for methane recapture.

The company's competitive position rests on patented and patent-pending proprietary technology. ReCAP cross compression (U.S. Patent No. 11,890,574) transfers natural gas from isolated pipeline sections to adjacent pressurized systems at a predictable rate down to 1440 PSIG, eliminating voluntary methane emissions during pigging and tie-in projects. SureLaunch automated multi-pig launching systems, the Dually double block & bleed line stop system (patent pending), SureLoc fittings, the SLp single-piece polyurethane pig, and the OnSITE cellular remote monitoring app collectively form an integrated product stack. Manufacturing is consolidated at a state-of-the-art Houston facility opened in October 2023 and operates under ISO 9001:2015, ASME S/U, NBBI R, and ISO/IEC 17025 certifications.

WeldFit generates revenue through both hardware sales (pipeline fittings, ReCAP equipment models including XR150/XR300/XR300HP/XR900/HP-1/LP-1, SureLaunch systems, SLp consumables) and professional services (hot tap, line stop, cross compression crews, pigging services). Pricing is quote-based on multi-year enterprise contracts sold directly through a field sales organization. Customers include large interstate gas pipeline operators (Iowa), Crestwood (Delaware Basin), Bakken gathering operators, a Marcellus midstream company (Pennsylvania), a Colorado-based midstream operator, the City of Santa Monica, and West Coast pipeline operators. The company expanded operations into Western Canada in May 2026 with a new service center in Edmonton, Alberta.

• CrestwoodnotableStrategic or Co-development Partner · 21 September 2021WeldFit utilized ReCAP technology to support Crestwood's ESG and sustainability strategy and ongoing commitment to emissions reductions. Project involved depressurization of 2.5-mile section of 8-inch gathering pipeline in southern Eddy County, New Mexico for Willow Lake System tie-in. ReCAP quickly depressurized and recompressed gas to keep it in the pipeline rather than releasing GHG emissions associated with blowdown. Less than 2 hours after hooking up, nearly 52,000 SCF of methane was transferred into adjacent pressurized pipeline.
