Joint integrity specialist Hydratight said it has deployed all offshore equipment to its facility in Gonzales, Louisiana to improve flexibility for customers.
The decision to move its stock from Deer Park, Texas means it will be closer to the centre of the oil and gas industry’s current activity in the Gulf of Mexico.
It comes as the company has invested $500,000 in new equipment for its rental service fleet and announced a new recruit in a sales management role.
Leonard Brasseaux joins as product account manager and will be responsible for the upstream market in Louisiana, Alabama and Mississippi, focussing on all offshore activity.
Chad Brooks , product market leader – Upstream, Hydratight, said: “We’re delighted with the three streams of operational investment and are particularly glad that Leonard has chosen to join us as we expand operations in the Gulf of Mexico region.
“It’s vital we are prepared to meet any demands. We have a reliable, experienced team and a large stock of sales and rental equipment poised for use in offshore markets. We’ve refreshed our fleet and from Gonzales will have faster access to all key coastal locations for rental and service.”
