The company’s 90k and 180k nitrogen pumps will provide operators with rental products that can be used across multiple applications including purging, well bore cleanouts, well fracturing and nitrogen perforation.

Prior Power Solutions says it is the first British OEM to rent its own nitrogen units.

With an investment of £1 million - and continued investment planned for the foreseeable future - the service provides customers with not only the latest state of the art pumping equipment but also with the training and access to manpower to support operators out in the field.

The service - which has been launched specifically to provide a non-capex option – enables owner operators to benefit from the product without the cost of purchase.

“The launch of this service comes as a direct response to market demand for the availability of this product in a rental form and the industry’s need for significantly more availability,” said James Rix, MD at Prior Power Solutions. “Since Covid, capex has been less available to customers but the demand for high quality nitrogen pump products underpinned by increased productivity, reduced operational costs and enhanced safety, all whilst minimising environmental impact, has continued to surge.

“By launching this offering we are responding to this customer demand, providing the market with new equipment that has been designed with ease of maintenance and operation in mind combined with the technical support and back up of a team that has been manufacturing these for over 30 years.”

Prior Power Solutions has already secured its first order, prior to launch, and is expecting demand for the service to increase quickly.

Norfolk-based Prior Power Solutions designs and manufactures nitrogen pumps, fluid pumps, hydraulic power units, coiled tubing equipment, compressors, and generator sets for use in hazardous areas. The business also provides extensive equipment repair, overhaul, parts and maintenance services to the offshore oil & gas, renewables, marine, agriculture and construction sectors around the world.
