Testimonials

“We have been purchasing all of our pump skids and pigging equipment from UMC for the last 6 years, and not only has the service been excellent, but the people at UMC have been a joy to deal with.“
- Engineering Manager for Mid-Size Midstream Company; Tulsa, OK

“Coming from a gas background, when I first reached out to UMC to bid on some LACT packages I was frustrated by the lack of assistance and the inability to find a company to listen to what I wanted instead of them telling me what I needed. UMC’s staff was knowledgeable and assisted us through every step of the process. 5 years later, our company not only looks at UMC as a vendor but as a partner too.”
- Measurement Director for Large E&P Company; Oklahoma City, OK

“We have over a large number of LACT units in the field and UMC’s Field Service is second to none. Whether it is their meter proving or field service on our LACT skids I always refer to them as the most responsive vendor we have. Their technicians are knowledgeable and always willing to answer my call and help day or night.”
- Production Supervisor; Artesia, New Mexico

“Our company recently had some issues on a piece of equipment during start-up as we integrated it with our SCADA system. I called and informed UMC of our problem at 6:00 P.M. Monday night and by Tuesday morning they had flown a programmer to my location to make sure all of our needs were met. Their responsiveness and quick response to make sure our start-up went off without a hitch was extremely impressive and appreciated.”
- Production Engineer; Alexander, ND
