Extreme conditions.
Smarter engineering.

Downhole friction costs more than energy. It wears tubing, shortens equipment life and interrupts production.

COBALT brings advanced hydrodynamic design and high-performance polymers together to improve the way your well performs.

Inside our technology
01

Protect the tubing

Rod guides centralise the sucker rod string to minimise costly metal-to-metal contact.

02

Reduce downhole friction

Self-lubricating ARPMAX polymers are engineered for demanding operating environments.

03

Keep the well working

Product and service innovations help extend equipment life and reduce workover frequency.

Innovation that performs.™

The difference
is in the material.

ARPMAX engineered polymers retain mechanical, thermal and chemical properties in high-temperature, high-vibration and abrasive environments.

Paired with patented hydrodynamic designs, they are the foundation of COBALT rod guide technology.
