PCP and Artificial Lift Specialists
Richardson Pump Service Inc. specializes in Progressing Cavity Pump systems for oil and gas operators across the Permian Basin and beyond, and when a well goes down, operators all over Texas know to call (325) 668-2226 before the production losses stack up. Based in Abilene, TX, RPS has been running PC Pump Systems in the field since 1985.
Sam Richardson and the RPS team work across the full artificial lift system, downhole PCPs, wellhead drives, VFD automation, electric motors, fluid level diagnostics, and failure analysis. When a pump fails, we can tell you why it failed, not just swap it out. We carry and service brands including PCM, Artemis, Weatherford, NETCO, SLB - Oil Lift, Martin, and SPOC, so the answer to your pump problem isn't driven by what one manufacturer happens to have on the shelf.
What We Do
Artificial Lift Services from a Specialist Shop
Every service below is something RPS has performed in the field for 40-plus years, not a line item added to look broader.
Downhole Progressing Cavity Pumps
Pump selection, sizing, and installation for oil and gas production. RPS works across PCM, Artemis, and Weatherford, to custom design systems based on your volume, depth, fluid properties, natural gas, bottom hole temperature, and solids. Details make the difference to maximizing your run time and efficiency.
Wellhead Drives
PCM wellhead drives are the main go to for RPS installations. From the PCM CD30, CD60, CD100 are all state of the art and proven wellhead drives for safety, strength, design, and environmental needs.
Automation & VFD Controls
Variable frequency drive installation and automation retrofits using PCM, SPOC, and Martin VFD-controlled PCPs run at optimal speed, reduce shock loads on startup, and give operators real-time production visibility. The software in these VFD's can operate, PC Pumps, Pumping Units, ESP's, Injection pumps, and Compressors.
Electric Motors
Electric Motor sales and service for wellhead drives and surface pump applications. Properly spec'd motors are the part that operators often undersize until a failure proves why it matters.
Fluid Level Services
Acoustic fluid level testing to determine pump submergence, fluid load, and inflow performance. This data drives pump sizing decisions and catches reservoir issues before they become workover costs.
Failure Analysis
When a failed pump comes out of the hole, RPS begins with a visual inspection of the rotor and stator, then scope the stator to see the damage and what caused it, and what to change on the next run. Repeat failures are expensive, one good analysis often pays for itself inside the next pump run.
Why RPS
40 Years Running PCPs in the Field
Richardson Pump Service has been in the field since 1985. That's not a marketing number. It means Sam Richardson has pulled pumps from wells that weren't even drilled when most artificial lift vendors opened their doors. The oilfield has changed. PCP technology has evolved. The core problem hasn't: operators need their wells producing, and they need someone who can diagnose and fix an artificial lift system, not just swap the same part back in.
RPS is an owner-operated shop. When you call (325) 668-2226, you reach the person with 40 years of PCP experience, not a dispatcher routing you to a technician whose background is general pump service. That distinction matters when the answer to your failure isn't obvious.
Operators with acreage across the broader West Texas corridor have relied on RPS because the alternative, a large vendor with a call center and a parts catalog, doesn't have the failure analysis depth to tell you why the same pump keeps coming out of the hole on short time runs.
