Lubricants for oil & gas operations in Northwest & Central PA
I supply natural gas engine oils, compressor oils, hydraulic oils, gear oils and greases to producers, compression operators and oilfield service companies across Northwest and Central PA, from the conventional fields in Venango, Warren and McKean counties to the gas operations in Clearfield and Elk. I also help set up oil analysis on compressors and engines, where an unplanned shutdown costs the most.
Local context
The U.S. oil industry started here: Drake's well near Titusville came in in 1859. Northwest PA still has many conventional wells, along with Pennsylvania-grade crude refining in the region. Central counties like Clearfield and Elk have natural gas production and compression. The equipment varies, but it always means remote sites, long run times and cold winters.
Where I help
- Natural gas engines: Mobil Pegasus low-ash gas engine oils, matched to the engine maker's spec and the fuel gas, with oil analysis to set drain intervals.
- Gas compressors: compressor cylinder and frame oils, including Mobil Pegasus and Mobil SHC synthetics, matched to gas composition and pressure.
- Pumping units and gearboxes: gear oils and greases that handle cold starts and long intervals between visits.
- Service rigs and trucks: heavy-duty engine oils, hydraulic fluids and greases. See fleet lubricants.
Remote sites and cold weather
Equipment that's visited weekly or less needs lubricants and intervals that hold up between visits. Synthetic oils, good breathers and a sampling schedule tied to your route help keep remote equipment running.
