Lubricant Selection and Equipment Reliability: Is There a Connection?

From Royal Purple, Ltd.
 

 
Tesco Services U. S. Division sells, leases and operates top drives for drilling rigs. The major components of a top drive are the diesel engine, the pump drive gear box, multiple gear driven pumps, and the top drive gear box. The competitive nature of our business demands that we provide highly efficient and totally reliable equipment at competitive prices. Additionally, the monetary penalties associated with unscheduled downtime on a drilling rig due to equipment failure can be substantial. This has not only fueled the development of many new and innovative products at Tesco but has also forced us to look for ways to improve reliability and lower operating costs. We recently found a way to accomplish both in a most unexpected way.
