Our Products and Services
Hoover Oilfield Supply is a manufacturer's Distributor
for numerous products and equipment.
It also supplies a wide range of tubular products, including
OCTG (Oil Country Tubular Goods), Line Pipe for hookups, gathering,
transportation and distribution (both coated & plain) and our newest
line of Flexible Pipe.
Hoover Oilfield Supply carries an inventory of OCTG from
both domestic (USA) and foreign mills.
In an International Market, Hoover has found that certain
reputable foreign manufacturers tend to be more cost effective for
deliveries straight from the mill.
However, if timing is an issue and longer delivery times are
unacceptable, then Hoover can be highly competitive with "in-stock"
inventories shipped directly from the United States, within a four-week
delivery time.

The Flexible Pipe market is now a proven
industry for oil and gas, which has seen the development of
newer high-pressure and high-temperature products, with maximum
operating pressures up to 4,000 psi and maximum temperatures
exceeding 250F. These
products are based on the manufacturing principals for
"Thermoplastics" (material which is easy to mold and shape when
heated and will melt with a high enough temperature). In
addition to being flexible, each pipe is produced in rolls of up
to 3,800ft lengths and is resistant to corrosion. |
| Polyethylene's use as a piping material was
first developed in the mid 1950's. In North America, its
original use was in oil field production where a flexible, tough
and lightweight piping product was needed to fulfill the needs
of a rapidly developing oil and gas production industry. The
success of polyethylene pipe in these installations quickly led
to its use in natural gas distribution where a coilable,
corrosion-free piping material could be fusion joined in the
field to assure a "leakfree" method of transporting natural gas
to homes and businesses. Polyethylene's success in this critical
application has not gone without notice and today it is the
material of choice for the natural gas distribution industry.
Sources now estimate that nearly 95% of all new gas distribution
pipe installations in North America that are 12" in diameter or
smaller are polyethylene piping.(2) |

Hoover Oilfield Supply is a
distributor and certified installer of a number of these
products, beginning with the most common, low-pressure
polyethylene Performance Pipe's DriscoPlex(r) piping
products (manufactured by Chevron Phillips Chemical
Company LP, a joint venture company between Chevron
Corporation and Phillips Petroleum Company). This
product is widely used across the globe, but with
limited operating pressures and temperatures.
|
| In addition to the DriscoPlex(r)
products, Hoover is also a distributor and certified
installer for Flexsteel(r), a new high-pressure, steel
reinforced polyethylene product which comes in various
sizes from 2" OD to 6"OD, and with maximum operating
pressures up to 2,250 psi. |
 |
 |
Our newest line of thermoplastic pipe
is called Thermoflex(r). This product utilizes advanced
polymers with nylons and kevlar materials, which are
lighter and stronger than steel reinforcing and give
higher Tensile Strength properties. Also, the
elimination of the polyethylene allows for maximum
operating temperatures to exceed 250F. |
Although an important component of the company,
Hoover Oilfield Supply does not rely entirely on tubular
products to support the industry. Hoover also carries an
extensive line of products for both drilling and production
operations. To date, Hoover has furnished equipment and
services to assist in the rigging out of six, completely
refurbished drilling rigs that have been restored to service.
Hoover Oilfield Supply carries a complete inventory of valves
and piping for mud systems, water systems and high-pressure
choke/kill systems. Hoover has the ability to quickly source
and ship those difficult to find parts, weather they are
replacement parts for older model equipment or OEM parts that
have long delivery times

Supply furnished all drilling support items, including
Mud System, BOP's, Drill Pipe and all Handling Tools,
etc. |

| Often overlooked by other
service companies, the stocking of necessary parts and
equipment for the Production and Lease Maintenance phase of
the oil & gas industry is Hoover's core business. We stock
thousands of different items at our field stores to satisfy
the needs of our customers, insuring minimum "down time".
Hoover makes every effort to communicate with our customers
so that we will have the necessary replacement equipment or
parts "on-the-shelf" when the time comes, thus reducing the
amount of inventory each operator must carry in the field.
You will find most everything, from a wide assortment of
valves and fittings, pressure gauges and instrumentation to
tools, wrenches and support equipment. |

Included in Hoover's production line are
the normal Safety and Environmental Products, necessary
in today's modern oil & gas industry. The normal
everyday items, such as hard hats, steel toed shoes,
safety glasses to the more unusual, such as helipad
safety landing lights and windsocks. For environmental
protection and clean-up, every field operation must have
ready-access to oil pollution booms and oil absorbent
pads, microorganisms that will bio-remediate absorbed
hydrocarbons, and bio-degradable washes and detergents.
Hoover carries a complete line of Oil Gator(r) products,
Peat Sorb (r) and Ken-Gro Bio Sorb(r) products.
