Stopping Oilfield Lightning Damage

Common oilfield thinking is, "You can't stop lightning." That is absolutely true. Lightning either goes from cloud to cloud or cloud to ground. However, you can stop the damage that lightning does. Although oilfields are a special case, other industries do not have nearly as much lightning damage. An engineering approach can bring the same reliability to the oilfield. PM&D Engineering is dedicated to helping you protect your investment in oilfield equipment and avoid lost production.

Our Products and Services

Lightning protection involves neutralizing direct strikes and dealing with transient voltage surges cause by strikes to the power lines. Effective grounding is common and essential to both.

Our products protect tank batteries, disposal pump motors, electric submersible pumps (ESP) and rod pumps from the ravages of dirty power and lightning strikes. Pump controls and drives are also protected. All products were developed and tested specifically for rugged, oilfield use and are manufactured in the USA. Thus our complete line of products offers superior protection and 100% reliability.

PM&D Engineering offers oilfield surveys to help you determine the right products and installation. With experiences in hundreds of oilfields, a number of common elements have been noted that make engineering report writing easier. Without these reports equipment can be improperly installed and actually cause damage rather than prevent it. Reports are provided free of charge.
