Blue Springs, MO, October 6, 2008 – Fike has announced reductions on lead times for Oilfield Products.

Oilfield customers require strict lead times on Oilfield Products. During drilling, completion, and production processes, schedules can not be compromised and on time delivery is critical. The Fike Oilfield Product team has created a delivery program that meets, and in many cases, exceeds customer-defined criteria. This program includes plant process improvements, and dedicated machines and experienced operators exclusively to Oilfield Products. All this has been accomplished while maintaining Fike’s high quality standards and workmanship. Moving forward, the team will continue to monitor results and address opportunities for improvement.

POGAM, the largest oil and gas show on the east coast, displays the very latest in equipment and services available to oil and gas exploration and production companies. Fike will be showcasing its engineered pressure relief devices that have made significant improvements to drilling, completion and production operations. In addition, Fike will be hosting a product showcase on "The Advantages of Rupture Disc Technologies in Tubing Drains and Upstream Tool Applications".
