Wellmaster is a leading North American manufacturer and wholesaler of products for the groundwater, oil and gas, nursery and greenhouse sectors. Established in 1987, Wellmaster's 60,000 square foot facility is located on nine acres in Tillsonburg, Ontario. Recently, Wellmaster produced a 4" variant of the Press X Press coupling specifically for the Florida market, where it received significant interest from local drillers as a more optimal solution to connect casing rather than just an option to address specific challenges. However, for Wellmaster to expand the product to a larger North American distribution network, they need to design a 6" variant that will meet provincial and state statutory/regulatory requirements, as well as provide superior performance and net costs compared to current market options. Thus, this collaborative project with Lambton College will focus on redesigning and optimizing Wellmaster's Press X Press 4" variant coupling to develop and test a new Press X Press 6" coupling product. The success of this project will enable Wellmaster to produce and bring to market a new product with a substantial and sustainable competitive advantage over existing options. From 2021 to 2025, it is forecasted that this new product will produce up to 35,000 units for sale in Canada and internationally, as well as provide a total of $2.4 million in additional national and export-related revenue. It is also estimated that this production will lead to the creation of 7-12 full-time positions. The development of this system will provide an option for repairing existing well infrastructure that has been neglected or ignored, as well as providing a better solution for new water wells. In Ontario, a significant portion of the population derives their drinking water from well-based sources. If the infrastructure is not maintained properly, this can lead to water shortages and/or quality issues that can have lethal consequences. Therefore, the Press X Press system will be an elegant and efficient method for repairing and maintaining well systems.

Wellmaster 是北美领先的地下水、石油和天然气、苗圃和温室产品制造商和批发商。 Wellmaster 工厂成立于 1987 年，占地 60,000 平方英尺，位于安大略省蒂尔森堡，占地 9 英亩。最近，Wellmaster 专门针对佛罗里达市场生产了 4" 版本的 Press X Press 接头，当地钻井公司对它产生了浓厚的兴趣，因为它是连接套管的更佳解决方案，而不仅仅是解决特定挑战的选项。但是，为了将产品扩展到更大的北美分销网络，他们需要设计一款 6" 版本，以满足省和州的法定/监管要求，并提供比当前市场选项更优越的性能和净成本。因此，与兰姆顿学院的合作项目将重点重新设计和优化 Wellmaster 的 Press X Press 4" 变型联轴器，以开发和测试新的 Press X Press 6" 联轴器产品。 该项目的成功将使 Wellmaster 能够生产并将其推向市场的新产品，与现有产品相比，该产品具有实质性且可持续的竞争优势。预计从 2021 年到 2025 年，这款新产品将生产多达 35,000 台，在加拿大和国际上销售，并带来总计 240 万美元的额外国家和出口相关收入。据估计，这一生产将导致创建 7-12 个全职职位。该系统的开发将为修复被忽视或忽视的现有水井基础设施提供一种选择，并为新水井提供更好的解决方案。在安大略省，很大一部分人口的饮用水来自水源。如果基础设施维护不当，可能会导致水资源短缺和/或质量问题，从而造成致命后果。因此，Press X Press 系统将成为修复和维护油井系统的一种优雅且高效的方法。
