REDA PUMPS ARE BUILT IN TIJLSA FOR

GREATER PRODUCTION IN OIL FIELDS

DURING WORLD WAR I, Russian-born

Armais Arutunoff developed anelectric submergible motor to drive adrill as a military tool. Then, after thewar, the inventor designed and built asingle stage pump to be driven by thismotor for dewatering mines and ships.

A little later, he adapted a multistagecentrifugal pump to the submergiblemotor and the predecessor of the Redaoil pumping system of today was born.

The name Reda was derived from thecable address of Arutunoff’s companywhich was established in Germanyoriginally. The name comes from thefirst leter of each word in the com-pany’s name, Russian Electro Dynamoof Arutunoff.

After successful prototype pump testsin Cailfornia oil wells in the mid 1920’s,Reda’s first manufacturing facility wasestablished in 1927 in Bartlesville, Okla-homa. The first units manufactured inBartlesville were installed in oil wellsnear Russell, Kansas.

Today Reda pumps are shipped to themajor oil producing areas all over theworld, principally through the Port ofHouston.

The Reda submergible pumping unitwas ideal for oil well applications be-cause it could produce more fluid fromgreater depths in limited casing sizesthan any other type of equipment.

As waterfloods and other pressuremaintenance methods became essentialfurther to deplete petroleum reserves,the Reda pumping system increased inimportance. The Reda pumping unit isunique in that it operates as a singleunit with both pump and motor at thebottom of the well. The motor-pump as-sembly may be many feet in length andonly a few inches in diameter andcan be lowered below the fluid level inthe well, lifting from greater depths andwith larger flow rates than ever beforeattainable.

IN EARLY 1969, Reda Pump Companymerged with Thompson, Ramo,

Wooldridge, Inc. (TRW, Inc.) and be-came part of TRW’s Industrial Opera-tions Group. TRW Inc. is a diversifiedinternational company specializing inhigh-technology products and servicesfor electronics, vehicle components,aerospace, and industrial markets.

REDA has made use of TRW’s vastresources of modern technology withcooperation on various research and de-velopment projects as well as the devel-opment of COMPSEL (a computerizedsystems approach to selecting the mostcost-effective pumping system).

Recently, as another of Reda’s inno-vative concepts to meet the petroleumindustry needs, its engineers have devel-

oped a unique tubingless pump installa-tion technique which allows the pump-ing system to be suspended from thepower cable.

This system produces directly throughthe casing and eliminates the need fordischarging tubing, thereby cutting ser-vicing costs and installation time. Thedesign is particularly economical inhard-to-reach mountainous terrain andoffshore installations where workoverequipment is expensive.

Today, more than 1,100 people areemployed by Reda. The main plant inBartlesville produces virtually all of thequality components required for its pre-cision products.

To support the oil industry whereservice and availability of equipmentare vital to efficient operation, Reda hasestablished factory branch repair andservice facilities at Midhmd, Texas;Thermopolis, Wyoming; South Gate,California; Swift Current, Saskatche-wan; Tripoli, Libya, and Singapore.

Reda submergible pumps will befound working in nearly every majoroil-producing area in the world. Its sub-mergible pumping systems also pumpwater for homes, farms, industry andmunicipalities, jet fuel and aviationgasoline at service stations and bulkpetroleum at depots.

BUREAU WILL SUPPORT MOTOR CARRIER:The Bureau will support applications ofEagle Trucking Co., J. H. Rose, Inc.,B. F. Walker, Inc. and Leonard BrothersTrucking Co. for operating authority tohandle intermodal containers betweenHouston and a large portion of the UnitedStates.

BUREAU URGES SUSPENSION: In a telegraphicpetition dated July 5, the Bureau urgedthe Interstate Commerce Commission tosuspend and place under investigationreduced multiple-car grain rates publishedby the Chicago and North Western Transpor-tation Company from C&NW origins in theMidwest to the ports of Beaumont and PortArthur, Texas and Lake Charles, BatonRouge and New Orleans, Louisiana. TheBureau’s petition pointed out that therates would be non-compensatory to therailroads and contained several otherprovisions that would result in otherviolations of the Interstate Commerce Act.The protested tariff, C&NW Tariff 17194,was scheduled to become effective July 15.

TEXAS PORT RAILROADS TO WITHDRAW: TheTexas-Louisiana Freight Bureau has noti-fied the Interstate Commerce Commissionthat they will withdraw and cancel thepublication of reduced handling chargeabsorptions at Texas ports. Acting on apetition filed by the Bureau, the I.C.C.had earlier suspended the publication andset the proceeding for modified procedure.This represents a significant victory forthe Port of Houston and the Bureau.

RAIL RATE OFFICIALS SUBMIT: After the June8, 1972, public hearing on the railroads’joint proposal to reduce export free time,rail rate officials decided to submit theproposal to top rail executives for adecision. These top executives met inChicago, July 26, 1972. The submission ofthe proposad to top executives can beviewed as a promising development, sincerail rate officials present at the hearingcould have approved the proposal.

State Representative Ray Lemmon ofHouston was elected chairman of thenew Texas Council on Marine RelatedAffairs at the organizational meetingheld in Houston.

The Council was created by an Actof the 62nd Legislature, written byRep. Lcmmon. Its purpose is to providestate government with a source of ex-perienced judgement and expert advicein the assessment and planning of marinerelated affairs in Texas, and their re-lationship to national and internationalmarine activities.

The twelve members of the Councilare evenly divided between representa-tives of government, education, com-merce, and the general public. The ap-pointments were made by the Governor,Lt. Governor, and Speaker of theHouse.

Rep. Lemmon said that the Council’sfirst meeting was the culmination of fouryear’s work and he predicted that "theCouncil will he the catalyst wherebyTexas assumes its rightful role of leader-ship in coastal and ocean development."

"Without a doubt," Lemmon con-tinued, "Texas has the potential; it re-mains only for us to exercise our talentsto make the dreams of Texas citizenscome true."

Land use planning and management,land subsidence, and deep draft off shoreport facilities are just three of the manyproblems affecting the Texas coastal

zone, that the Council expects to con-sider.

State Senator S. R. "Babe" Schwartzof Galveston was elected vice chairmanand Joe B. Harris of Austin, represent-ing the Governors office, division ofplanning co-ordination, was elected sec-retary of the Council.
