Wyo-Ben announced the acquisition of the Thunderstorm line of mud-mixing and cleaning systems from Sharewell HDD Drilling Products. The new division of Wyo-Ben, Thunder Products, will continue manufacturing and operations at the Ponder, Texas, manufacturing facility. Industry veteran Dan Sharpe will remain as president. The Thunderstorm name will be retained, as will the HDD distribution through Vermeer Dealers.
The Thunderstorm line includes the Thunderstorm I and Thunderstorm II and the soon to be released Thunderstorm III. These units are designed to go with HDD rigs from 250,000 lb. drills and down, as well as various sizes of water well and geo-thermal drills. Each unit has a corresponding Pit Pump designed and built in Ponder, Texas, ranging from 1,000 gpm down to 150 gpm. Each system is designed to be the best mud recycler in its class.
“We are pleased to have the Thunderstorm team join Wyo-Ben under the Thunder Products Division," says David Brown, president and CEO of Wyo-Ben. "We are committed to continuing and expanding the innovative mud systems solutions that Thunderstorm is known for in the HDD drilling industry.”
