Along with the teaching aids that OTC provides we are excited about the possibilities of using this facility for research. Several companies have already contacted us about our potential research or testing capabilities. Our combination shop/classroom/office building has been completed and the first lab session was held there on August 30, 2017. This facility provides space for students to view cut-away displays of oilfield equipment such as treating vessels, control valves, artificial lift and drilling equipment. Also inside is a forty foot long cut away model of a wellbore showing all of the components of a well from the pumping tee to the bottom hole sucker rod pump including the surface and production casing and the tubing and rod string.
