What Global Production Solutions does

Global Production Solutions (GPS) is a privately held, US-based manufacturer and service provider specializing in artificial lift and surface pumping solutions for the upstream and midstream oil and gas industry. Founded in 2010 and headquartered in Shawnee, Oklahoma, the company operates five facilities across Oklahoma and Texas (Shawnee, Tecumseh, Midland, Breckenridge, and Kilgore) totaling more than 120,000 square feet of manufacturing and service capacity plus 18 acres of inventory and yard space, and reports 51-100 employees. GPS manufactures Electric Submersible Pumps (ESPs) in-house across multiple pump and motor series (338-950 pumps, 375-562 motors, up to 780 HP single motors and systems up to 1,500 HP), submersible motors rated to 300-350F, protectors, the proprietary Informer 2 high-performance sensor (rated to 320F continuous), and the Gas Wedge gas-separation device. The product line extends to permanent-magnet PMESP and PMPCP systems, the Tornado F-1/F-3/F-5 motor controller series, Variable Speed Drives, PLC systems, a cloud-based SCADA monitoring platform, custom switchboards, the MONEY expert-system well modeling engine, and the Aquasphere frac water recycling system, complemented by Horizontal Pumping Systems and Automated Pumping Systems (APS) for surface fluid handling from 15-1,500 HP. The company is controlled by the Newell family (CEO Derek Newell and President Bryan S. Newell, both former executives of Electric Submersible Service), with a wholly-owned subsidiary, Solid State Controls (SSC), anchoring its electronics and field-automation capability.

The business model combines hardware sales (ESPs, motors, protectors, controllers, switchboards, APS, HPS, Aquasphere), professional services (installation and commissioning, ESP and surface-pump repair, cable spooling, VSD repair, well testing), and engineering/custom design services, all delivered through direct enterprise field sales and inside-sales quote requests on a quote-based B2B model with multi-year contracts. GPS targets oil and gas producers (its primary segment) plus municipal water wells, government contracts, and factory automation as secondary verticals, and claims worldwide customer reach including the Middle East, Latin America, Europe, and Southeast Asia. GTM emphasizes consultative, problem-solving sales, a one-source solution positioning (it services and tests its own and competitors' brands such as Goulds, NOV, Flowserve, and Baker Hughes-era equipment), in-house engineering, and 24-hour field support. Leadership is heavily staffed with ESP industry veterans from Schlumberger, Baker Hughes, Wood Group (now GE), Weatherford, and Borets-Weatherford, with 20-36+ years of industry experience across the management team.
