: GFCI See residual current device. ) has announced that it plans to produce another 50 Jet Motor units by mid-September. The first production run of 50 Jet Motors has been shipped to clients all over the world and should be in operation, depending on the logistics of their destinations, by the end of this month. Three are currently in operation, generating $15,000 per day in revenues ($5,000 each).

"Several of the major oil and gas companies, as well as large independents, have lined up to utilize this 'one of a kind' tool, knowing that a single Jet Motor will typically enhance oil and gas production 15-25% per well, while saving money on workover costs," stated Jim Dial, president and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board.  of Grifco International. "We anticipate that the rental units will be used continuously and repetitively by clients, shifting from well to well, for the life of the tool. The 50 Jet Motor units will generate approximately $2 million per month in rental fees with 75% utilization."

Coil Tubing Technology Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary Wholly Owned Subsidiary

A subsidiary whose parent company owns 100% of its common stock.

Notes:
In other words, the parent company owns the company outright and there are no minority owners.
 of Grifco International Inc., produces the "Jet Motor," a proprietary product for the oilfield drilling and production workover industry. The oilwell workover industry has long desired a downhole drilling motor that can operate on coiled tubing Coiled tubing refers to metal piping, normally 1" to 2" in diameter, used for interventions in oil and gas wells, which comes spooled on a large drum. The main benefits over wireline are the ability to pump chemicals through the coil and the ability to push it into hole rather than  workover units with fluid or nitrogen wells up to 600 degrees Fahrenheit to effectively clean paraffins, calcium carbonates and barium in tubular production strings.

The design concept behind the Jet Motor was to provide the industry with a rotationally driven tool, independent of the workstring, without elastomers and able to produce sufficient horsepower. The requirements were that the tool needed to operate on fluid or nitrogen and the tool needed to supply sufficient jet velocity and impact force to the nozzle. The Jet Motor solves this riddle by creating horsepower by injection of the fluid or gas used through an offset orifice orifice /or·i·fice/ (or´i-fis)
1. the entrance or outlet of any body cavity.

2. any opening or meatus.orific´ial

 while converting the horsepower to torque with a control tube that maximizes the torque to the drive system and provides usable drilling torque to the bit. There is no other product available in the industry that can hydraulically clean, mechanically drill with torque, utilized in fluid or gas, and is able to operate in 550 degree F hole conditions.

The Jet Motor represents the leading edge of oilfield drilling technology that will revolutionize the way drilling and workover operations are conducted while greatly reducing the cost of workover to the well operator.
