Energy Weldfab

What Energy Weldfab does

Energy Weldfab Inc. is a privately held custom manufacturer of oil and gas production and process equipment, founded in 1990 and headquartered on a 40-acre campus in White Oak, Texas. The company designs, engineers, and fabricates pressure vessels and process skids including two- and three-phase separators (vertical, horizontal, spherical, heated, and filter configurations), indirect-fired line heaters using a water-bath design, sand management systems including the proprietary Sand Genie high-efficiency separator, glycol dehydration and BTEX recovery units, slug catchers, vapor recovery towers, fuel gas skids, and piping skids. Fabrication is performed in four manufacturing shops totaling over 130,000 square feet, supported by approximately 20,000 square feet of warehousing and 20,000 square feet of offices, with vessel capability up to 132-inch diameter and 100,000 lbs. All equipment is built to ASME Section VIII Division 1 with U, R, PP, and S stamps, plus ASME B31.1/B31.3 piping compliance, API 12J separator sizing, and NACE MRO175 where applicable.

The business operates a sales-led, direct-to-operator model targeting oil and gas producers across major US basins (Permian, Eagle Ford, Marcellus, Utica, Bakken, Anadarko, Delaware, Powder River) and internationally in Turkey, Colombia, Trinidad, and Argentina. Revenue is generated through project-based, quote-driven custom fabrication with no resellers or distributors; a small ancillary revenue stream comes from U-1A documentation services priced at $55 per serial number for vessels issued 2016-present and $105 for pre-2016 vessels, with expedited processing for an additional $100. The sales team carries over 350 years of combined experience supporting vessel sizing and specification work, while broader workforce experience exceeds a century in vessel manufacturing. The company is independently owned with Mike Clements as President and Founder, with no disclosed institutional investment or external capital structure.

Functional benefit

Brands

• The Sand Genie™: A uniquely designed, high-efficiency production sand separator that removes finer particles of sand that typically escape through traditional sand traps. Has an MAWP of 1440 PSI and is built to NACE MRO175.

Products and services

• Separators Oil and gas separators designed to separate well fluids into gaseous and liquid components, available in vertical, horizontal, and spherical configurations with two or three-phase separation capabilities for oil, gas, and water. Sized using the Souders-Brown equation with appropriate K factors per API 12J.
• Heated Separators Indirect-fired separators using a heated water bath design to reduce oil surface tension and viscosity, improving gas release and foam removal from crude oil.
• Filter Separators Off-line coalescing oil filtration systems combining fine filtration with integrated circulating pumps for applications containing hydraulic oil, diesel fuel, and lubrication oil.
• Indirect Line Heaters Water bath design indirect-fired heaters where heat transfers from a submerged fire-tube wall into a bath fluid, then to process coils via convection, achieving up to 70% efficiency without an economizer; stock units range from 500,000 to 1,500,000 Btu/Hr. Designed for hazardous area classifications meeting CSA, NFPA, and UL recommendations.
• Sandtraps Sand separators that remove sand and particulates after drilling or hydro-fracking, available in gravity and centrifugal designs to protect downstream equipment from abrasive damage.
• The Sand Genie Proprietary high-efficiency production sand separator with an MAWP of 1440 PSI that removes finer sand particles that escape traditional sand traps, built to NACE MRO175; reduces wear on downstream equipment. Available in multiple sizes with corrosion allowance.
• Piping Skids Custom piping fabrication including header skids, spool pieces, manifolds, and process piping for pipe sizes 1 inch to 24 inches in diameter, built to ASME B31.1 and B31.3 standards.
• Specialty Vessels Custom fabrication including slug catchers, vapor recovery towers, JT units, SulfaTreat towers, passive dehydration units, enclosed production units, and modular skid designs; capabilities up to 132 inches in diameter and 100,000 lbs.
• Glycol Dehydrators and BTEX Units Glycol dehydration systems including Packed, Bubble Cap Tray, and Structured Packed Towers for removing water vapor from natural gas streams, plus BTEX units for capturing benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene compounds.
• Fuel Gas Skids Pre-packaged fuel gas delivery systems integrating ASME pressure vessels, filters, regulators, and safety devices for reliable delivery of clean, regulated fuel gas to compressors, turbines, and process heaters.

Broad incumbents

• Sulzer: Swiss-based industrial engineering company providing pumps, separation, and process equipment including custom-engineered pressure vessels for energy applications. Overlap with Energy Weldfab in oil and gas process and production equipment at much greater scale and geographic breadth.
• TETRA Technologies: Diversified oilfield services and equipment company providing production equipment, water management, and well-site services to oil and gas operators. Comparable in serving upstream production needs with both equipment and service offerings.
• GEA Group: Global industrial equipment manufacturer providing separation, homogenization, and processing technology across food, dairy, chemical, and energy sectors. Competes in separator and process equipment technology relevant to oil and gas dehydration and gas processing.
• EXTERRAN: Large publicly listed provider of natural gas processing, treating, and compression equipment and services. Competes with Energy Weldfab in gas processing skids, dehydrators, and separators but operates at much greater scale and includes aftermarket services.
• Forum Energy Technologies: Diversified oilfield equipment manufacturer serving drilling, completions, production, and subsea markets. Overlaps with Energy Weldfab in production and processing equipment but offers a much broader portfolio across the upstream value chain.
• Curtiss-Wright: Industrial manufacturer with engineered products including pressure vessels and process equipment serving energy, defense, and process industries. ASME-coded fabrication overlaps significantly, though its scale and breadth dwarf Energy Weldfab's focused oil and gas business.
