We Don’t Just Machine Parts.We Invent Them.
Machine Tech is a job shop that spent three decades in the oilfield — and patented the solutions that did not exist yet. These are the inventions behind our products.
US patents are recorded under the inventor’s legal name, John William Angers, Jr. — the founder known as Billy Angers. Search that name, or the patent numbers below, to verify any of this at USPTO.
Modular, Stackable Wellhead System
A modular wellhead built from stackable sections rather than a single fixed assembly, so the configuration can be adapted to conditions found in the field — including damaged-well recovery and diver-assisted work.
Mud Bucket System
An enclosure that surrounds a drill-pipe connection and uses fluid-driven actuators to open and close around it, capturing drilling fluid released when the connection is broken and draining it away.
Pulverizer / Grinder System
A grinder built around a horizontal shaft carrying multiple rotors that reduces rock and drilling cuttings. This invention is the technical lineage behind the cuttings-remediation equipment Machine Tech builds today.
Side Door Hanger System
A hanger system that allows cables, lines and conduits to pass through a wellhead while maintaining a seal — which is what makes it possible to hang an ESP without cutting and splicing the power cable.
Method of Direct Hot Tapping into a Multiple Production String Without Removing Outer Layers of Casing
A method of tapping into the production tubing of a multiple-string well — through the outer casing and into the inner casing — without pulling the outer layers of casing first, so access is obtained on a live well rather than by dismantling it.
Containment Systems for Sealing a Pass-Through in a Well, and Methods Therefore
A family of grants that extends the sealed pass-through concept with interchangeable configurations, so different cables, lines and conduits can pass into a well while containment is maintained.
Every invention above is listed with its US patent number so it can be verified independently. Machine Tech presents specific patents rather than a headline count, and does not claim inventions filed or assigned to other companies.
