The Leader in Artificial Lift Systems

Developer of award winning, patent protected, artificial lift systems, KUDU is an industry leader in the manufacture of dewatering pumps and other oilfield equipment. No other company performs more research and development of artificial lift systems using PCPs, dewatering pumps, and other oilfield equipment components than KUDU Industries Inc. Our diversity allows us to be of indispensable value to companies involved in oil extraction and places us as one of the largest providers of oilfield equipment in Alberta and across Canada! Recently, KUDU was selected by Shell Oil’s research department in The Hague to develop an artificial lift system for use in their wells in the Middle East.

PCPs and advanced dewatering pumps were first installed in Canada in 1979 to pump heavy, sand-laden crude oil. Since then, KUDU’s pumps and other oilfield equipment have been used extensively in Canada, which is where all of the subsequent development of our artificial lift systems took place. Canada accounts for the majority of the world market for PCP technology and KUDU is the second largest supplier of PCPs and advanced dewatering pumps in the world and we are now the only supplier of PCP’s that manufactures all of the components of a PCP system.

KUDU’s founders originally distributed oilfield equipment which was invented and manufactured by in Europe. Once the market for high volume PCPs and dewatering pumps iin the high water-cut, medium crude oil wells of central Alberta, KUDU led the way in developing higher capacity artifical lift systems. As an oilfield equipment provider to Alberta’s crude oil extraction industry, KUDU’s vision has expanded to the point where close to 40% of all Canadian oil wells use PCP’s for artificial lift.

Robert Mills began investigating artificial lift systems for crude oil extraction the late 70s. He and his son, Ray Mills, founded Kudu Industries Inc.a decade later to commercially distribute oilfield equipment throughout Alberta, such as PCPs and dewatering pumps for heavy oil wells. Mills’ contributions to and direct contact with our customers and their needs led to innovations which significantly increased the economic life of marginal medium and light gravity oil fields in natural water drive reservoirs.
