Brightway Solids Control Company (Xi'an Brightway Energy Machinery Equipment Co., Ltd)

What Brightway Solids Control Company (Xi'an Brightway Energy Machinery Equipment Co., Ltd) does

Brightway Solids Control Company, legally Xi'an Brightway Energy Machinery Equipment Co., Ltd, is a privately held Chinese manufacturer founded in 2012 and headquartered in Xi'an, Shaanxi. The company designs and supplies solids control equipment — shale shakers, mud cleaners, desanders, desilters, decanting centrifuges, vacuum degassers, mud gas separators, agitators, and pumps — plus integrated fluid treatment systems, drilling waste management systems, HDD mud recycling units, and, since December 2025, a full line of workover and oil drilling rigs ranging from 350HP to 4500HP. Core technology centers on vibrating-separation theory, hydrocyclone-based sand/silt isolation, ANSYS-designed desilter geometry, and a proprietary triple-deck shale shaker architecture that consolidates separation stages into an all-in-one module.

The business model is project-based enterprise sales: Brightway manufactures and ships customized drilling fluid treatment packages built to customer specifications (Saudi Aramco and ADNOC standards explicitly cited), with revenue generated from one-time equipment sales augmented by spare parts (shaker screens, hydrocyclones, valves) and on-site commissioning services. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales supported by international trade shows (NOG Energy Week, TrenchlessAsia, CIPPE, OTC, MIOGE), a 10-language website, a Moscow sales office, and live-streamed factory tours during exhibitions. The customer base spans national oil companies (Saudi Aramco, ADNOC, KDC Kuwait, Sinopec), drilling contractors and partners across the Middle East, West Africa, Russia, South Asia, Southeast Asia, and South Africa, with stated coverage in more than 70 countries.
