Alkhorayef is the first ESP manufacturer in the Middle East. National oil companies and independents are pleased to have the choice of doing business with a local entity that competes technically and commercially with the well-known major oil field service companies. We realize that we deserve and earn valuable business only if we are competitive on a total package basis. We have positioned ourselves as a top-quality manufacturer with a strong emphasis on research, development, and product integrity.

We do not believe we are the lowest-cost provider out there but we strive to offer the best value for money to our customers. Reduced manufacturing lead times – as low as two weeks – together with fast field service response have been instrumental in our success in penetrating into new markets.

APC has been in the ESP business since 1982, with operations, repair and maintenance facilities that were originally established in the Saudi capital, Riyadh. The Riyadh ESP facility evolved and expanded from being a teardown and repair shop in the early days to a full-scale service, test, and manufacturing facility certified with ISO 9001-2000. Complete manufacturing of ESP down-hole equipment was added to the Riyadh facility late in 2002, with the first WSP brand equipment delivered to customers in 2003.

To support its rapidly expanding business, APC decided to invest in new manufacturing and repair facilities to replace the Riyadh operation, and strategically relocate them in the Eastern Province 2nd industrial city of Dammam. Skilled staff and technology was transferred from Riyadh to Dammam prior to commissioning the new manufacturing plant in 2006. The new repair facility was completed twelve months later. A full range of WSP equipment and components are produced in Dammam including Pumps, Motors, Protectors, Gas Separators, Gas Processors, Intakes, Motor Controllers, Variable Speed Drives, Fixed Speed Drives and MLE’s.

All WSP equipment and components are manufactured and tested to API standards. Our manufacturing and repair plants are furnished with a full range of test equipment including horizontal benches, vibration testing, vertical full string, and full load surface equipment test equipment. With over 15,000 square meters of manufacturing and repair floor space, APC has the capability and capacity to deliver large quantities of high quality equipment.

Recently APC has opened a new R & D facility in Shanghai China where down-hole product development and testing is conducted to ensure that WSP are at the forefront of ESP technological development for the future of the industry and the benefit of our customers.

WSP equipment has rapidly gained a very high level of acceptance from our customers with very competitive reliability records in all applications. The WSP brand is giving users high utilization rates supported by the unrivalled APC customer support network throughout the Middle East, Africa, Russia, and Asia.
