SUPPLYING

YOU WITH THE

VERY BEST

Briefly introduce me to the business. E.g., a brief overview of your main products and services, locations, client base, number of employees.

Brazos Pump and Hose Supply is a supply and fabrication company headquartered in Midland, TX. Our main services include pump rental, generator rental, hose inventory and custom fabrication. Although the company is young, the management team has decades of experience in water management, fleet management and custom fabrication. Our client base consists of several large water transfer companies and upstream oil and gas companies.

What are some of the ongoing or recent projects that you are most interested in showcasing?

Our most recent project is the expansion of our Tier 3 engine pump fleet. Our fleet is custom designed with 600 hp engines and Gorman Rupp pump ends with stainless steel impellers. Our pumps also contain our custom manifolds making it easy to set any pump up as a main pump, or a booster.

These were truly designed with customer satisfaction and flexibility in mind. We anticipate continuing to expand our fleet to better serve our clients.

What, for you, differentiates your business from the competition?

Brazos has custom designed its rental fleet using Tier 3 engines that require no DEF, low maintenance and less downtime than our competitors. Our entire fleet is less than 1 year old and it is complemented with an industry leading preventative maintenance program. Brazos has in-house service response teams with mechanics throughout the Basin to serve our clients quickly and effectively.

The primary differentiator for Brazos is that its management has built the company on high-quality equipment and service for our clients. We treat each job we work on as if it were our own project with a keen eye for detail on all aspects. Our reputation is our most valued asset.

Could you tell us about some of the major challenges faced within the industry and the business itself, and then detail how these have been overcome?

There are many challenges facing the industry today. Lower oil prices due to uncertain economic times and tariffs, coupled with constrained capital, both for

upstream and midstream companies. Brazos is well positioned with a team of industry veterans to overcome these challenges through our top-tier equipment and existing relationships within the industry.

What do the next 12 months look like for the company?

The next twelve months will be continued growth of our rental fleet with a continued focus on relationships and customer service.

We expect great things from Brazos and want to thank all of our clients for putting their trust in us to provide them with a high quality product and service.
