Oil Production
ROTOMAC progressive cavity pumps serve many applications in onshore oil exploration, including drilling waste management, produced water treatment, water injection, condensate handling, enhanced oil recovery, custody transfer, fracking chemical and water handling, and crude oil transfer.

Still Needs Bringing To The Surface
Formed over millions of years, crude oil remains one of the main drivers of economic growth and still needs to be brought to the surface. Despite finite resources and a global push toward renewables, demand continues to rise. Oil is far from limited to use as fuel — it is an ingredient across a wide range of other products and industries.
The familiar image of pumpjacks with their distinctive ‘donkey’ heads is still common on oil fields worldwide, but they are steadily being replaced by a less spectacular, more efficient alternative — the progressive cavity pump.
Why the switch is happening. A progressive cavity pump displaces a fixed volume per revolution, handles solids without blocking, and conveys with low shear and minimal pulsation. On a well site that means steadier output, less emulsification and measurement accurate enough for custody transfer.
Where The Pump Earns Its Place
From the mud pit to the custody transfer meter, the same technology covers duties that would otherwise need several different pump types.
Waste & Water Management
Drilling waste, produced water and fracking water all carry solids and resist clean separation. Low-shear handling is what makes downstream treatment work.
- Drilling waste management
- Produced water treatment
- Water injection
- Fracking chemical and water handling
Production & Recovery
Crude and condensate must move reliably from wells whose conditions change over the life of the field, at high suction and discharge pressures.
- Condensate handling
- Enhanced oil recovery
- Crude oil transfer
- Custody transfer measurement support
ROTOMAC Pumps For Oil Production
Six duties on the field, and the pump range specified for each.
Drilling Waste Management And Cuttings Transfer
Our pumps feed decanter centrifuges, vertical dryers and other processing equipment with minimal shear and pulsation, and transport heavy cuttings or clean mud pits.
Produced Water Treatment
Our low-shear pumps feed oil/water mixtures into induced gas flotation units and de-oiling hydrocyclones without damaging the oil droplet.
Sewage Removal And Treatment
Our pump ranges are used across a variety of applications to handle sewage and wastewater.
Lease Automatic Custody Transfer
Our pumps handle varying crude oil viscosities at high suction and discharge pressures. Minimal pulsation supports precise flow measurement for accurate compensation between well owners during custody transfer.
Fraccing
Our pumps handle products of varying viscosity with suspended solids. Low-shear action reduces emulsification, allowing fracking water to be treated before reuse or disposal.
Crude Oil Transfer
ROTOMAC pumps support reliable crude oil transfer from wells, engineered to perform under challenging and changing well conditions.
Pump Ranges For Oil Production
The ranges most often specified for this sector. Send us your duty and our engineers will confirm the model.
S Range
Robust all-round progressive cavity pumps conveying low to highly viscous products, with or without solids.
W Range
Open hopper pumps with integrated auger feed for highly viscous, semi-solid and non-flowable products.
