NNW

What NNW does

NNW, Inc. is a privately held Louisiana corporation founded in 1984 that provides specialized surface wellhead services to oil and gas operators across the Gulf of America, Gulf South, and Pacific Ocean regions. The company's core offering spans the wellhead lifecycle — installation, maintenance, repair, and decommissioning support — including gate valve drilling (up to 4 inches at 15K rating), hot tapping and fluid recovery (up to 48 inches without service interruption), hydrostatic testing (100–15,000 PSI), slot recovery (2-3/8 inch to 48 inch diameter), valve repair, torquing, wellsite surveys, and workovers. NNW supplements its service operations with a rental equipment inventory (adapter flanges, lubricators, back pressure valves, gate valves, cold cutting devices, torque equipment) and product sales (valves, studs and nuts, seal ring gaskets, pressure gauges, wellheads, production trees), and holds exclusive installer rights to the proprietary ULTRA SEAL WELL BOND wellhead sealing system.

The business operates through three revenue streams: professional services (project-based engagements), equipment rental (usage-based), and product sales (one-time transactions), with quote-based pricing given the customized nature of wellhead work. The company is a federally certified Women's Business Enterprise (WBE), a certified Woman-Owned Small Business (WOSB) through WBECSOUTH, and a WBENC member, with active compliance registrations on ISNetworld, Veriforce, Avetta (2024 Diversity Leader), DISA, NCMS, and Alert — gating pre-qualifications for major operator engagements. NNW is led by a four-person executive team — CEO Sommer Williams, COO Brad Williams, President Chelsea Schexnaildre, and CFO/General Counsel Beau Schexnaildre — and operates with a headcount of 11–50 employees from its Gonzales, Louisiana headquarters.

Customer-side data is limited: no specific operator logos are publicly disclosed and revenue is not reported. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales to upstream oil and gas operators, supported by the company website and contractor compliance platforms rather than outbound demand generation. With no disclosed financial data, NNW presents as a small, relationship-driven, woman-owned specialty services provider whose revenue trajectory is tied to Gulf of Mexico upstream activity, plug-and-abandonment cycles, and the structural tailwind of supplier-diversity procurement mandates.
