Only the best materials and processes

All material is of impeccable quality and sourced from well-respected suppliers. Each product component’s lifecycle is individually tracked by Wenzel, reaching back to document the mill certification and material base element composition. Wenzel’s comprehensive manufacturing capability includes state-of-the-art equipment and journeymen machinists and programmers. All tools are subject to 100% inspection.

Full traceability of materials

Wenzel’s proprietary web based lifecycle management tool, InSite, is used to track and maintain detailed run, service and invoice history of individual assets and components.  InSite is used in both Wenzel’s own rental fleet as well as for customer-owned assets where we perform the maintenance. Our staff are highly trained and qualified, adhering to our refined best approach in assembling, inspecting and servicing downhole tools. Cross-training and mentoring initiatives ensure service is consistent, thorough and staff take pride in their work.

Statistical Process Control

The most current statistical methods are used to analyze our processes, assuring the highest quality product is produced and the robust, repeatable manufacturing process chosen remains stable and unchanged. Advanced process planning including Process FMEA and full PPAP submission are available to guarantee a smooth start up to the most difficult projects.

SPC data is recorded into Plex right in every work cell which parametrically links the data to the serial number of the material lot the measurement came from. This provides strong traceability, and the ability to track down issues with 100% certainty.
