RMSpumptools

What RMSpumptools does

RMSpumptools Limited, founded in 1990 and headquartered in Dyce, Aberdeen, designs and manufactures highly engineered mechanical and electrical solutions for ESP (Electrical Submersible Pump) artificial lift and subsea connector systems used in upstream oil and gas production. The company's product portfolio spans four core categories: electrical penetrators and connector systems (wellhead and packer penetrators, CAN/POD penetrators, The SWITCH dual-ESP power switching device, SPEEDFiT field-attachable connectors); completion systems and intervention tools (Y-Tool systems, Y-Chek automatic Y-Tool, motor shrouds, ADV diverter valves, NRVs, Stealth Clamp); subsea connector and sensor systems (WellConnect, SeaConnect, WellPower, OceanPower wet-mate and dry-mate connectors, temperature/pressure sensors); and artificial lift monitoring (ESP gauges, surface display units). Multiple products are protected by granted patents (The SWITCH, Y-Chek, Stealth Clamp) and the company is the only supplier with PR2 and V0 (API 11D1) accredited products, with additional ATEX, IECEx, FM, ISO 9001, and ISO 14001 certifications supporting deployment in hazardous HP/HT and High H2S environments.

The company operates a direct enterprise field sales model with field service engineers and regional manufacturing/support facilities in the UK, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE, serving major IOC and NOC customers including Saudi Aramco, Chevron, Shell, BP, ExxonMobil, ENI, Equinor, Petronas, CNOOC, and TotalEnergies. Revenue is generated from hardware sales of specialized equipment, professional services (field installation, troubleshooting, training), with quote-based pricing for bespoke engineered systems. Following the July 2024 acquisition by ChampionX Corporation (NASDAQ: CHX), RMSpumptools operates as a standalone business unit within ChampionX's Production & Automation Technologies (PAT) segment, with Doug Harwell serving as Managing Director. The company has near-exclusive market share for Packer Penetrators and Wellhead Connectors in the North Sea and serves customers in 15+ countries across the UK, Europe, Africa, the Americas, the Middle East, and Asia Pacific.
