Throughout Canada there are oil fields that require the maintenance of flushby equipment to keep them operational.
While drilling platforms are designed to reach deep down into the core of the earth and siphon out the oil deposits that are buried deep in the ground, there are times when the pumping equipment becomes clogged and the pipeline that is servicing the fossil fuel deposit is unable to extract the black gold from the ground.
Cluttered up with sand or other debris that makes its way into the pipe and congests the suction that draws the oil to the surface, oil pumping platforms regularly need to be flushed out.
Freeing the small deposits of rock and sand that build up and congested oil pipeline the use of a flushby truck takes on the task of clearing out any blockages.
Like using a gigantic plunger to unblock a stopped drain, the flushby trucks are brought in to clear out the blockages that prevent the oil from reaching the surface.
Able to reach deep into the small drilled openings in the earth the extendable mast of the flushby can reach 72 feet from its pinnacle to the ground.
Pumping out the debris that is causing a slow flow of oil from the earth the flushby is a highly prized piece of equipment that is used periodically to open up the flow of oil and make sure that the production of crude oil does not slow down.
With a growing need to supply oil to gas stations and drivers throughout the world there is a need to keep the oil flowing from the rigs that are found throughout Canada.
