unit was audited before pumping began.
Using this approach to ensure thorough
in-field maintenance practices of the advanced fluid end technology, each fluid
end has lasted for more than 3,000 hours
of service time.
Because the QEM 3000 is designed for
continuous operation, uptime has been dramatically increased compared with legacy
equipment. The power end is rated to last
more than 15,000 hours with proper maintenance. This longevity is made possible
thanks to the real-world factors behind
frac pump failures being purposefully addressed in the equipment's design. With
the pump playing the critical role of moving
the fluid and proppant slurry during a frac
job, the pump's lubrication system is crucial
for maximizing pump efficiency and power
end life. Protecting the bearing and gear
components of the lubrication system are
paramount for drastically reducing equipment failures (and NPT) in the field.
The dual-line lubrication system, onboard
filtration, oversized 25-inch frac pump
bearing, continuous-duty gearbox, structural
rigidity and stress-reducing fluid end design
work together to allow significantly greater
uptime while lowering operating costs.
These advances have enabled REV to maximize pumping hours, even when pumping
at higher pressures with more aggressive

fluid/proppant intensities.
Beyond reducing total cost of ownership
and creating a competitive advantage, the
new high-horsepower fleets are helping
REV to achieve its safety and environmental
goals. The company takes its total recordable incident rate (TRIR) very seriously.
Safety is a key performance indicator that
is prioritized and communicated throughout
the organization.
Achieving a 95%+ ready-to-pump time
improves site safety because of the increased reliability and helps keep the
crew out of the " red zone, " defined as
on-site situations that have the highest
potential for loss of life or equipment
damage if a pressure-related iron failure
occurs. A good TRIR score is considered
to be 3.0 or less. REV is very pleased to
maintain a TRIR of 0.0. This safety record
honors the people and the communities
in which the company operates.
Even as so much has changed in the
industry, two barometers for success remain the same: NPT and operating costs.
Despite challenging times, optimizing reliability to add pumping hours and improve
safety remains vitally important. Building
a fleet on equipment components that
make it possible to achieve near-zero
downtime is a powerful investment that
pays dividends in any market.
