3. » “Nicklos Drilling’s Operations Manager Bill Brannan contacted us
when he couldn’t find an available replacement for a failed
diesel generator on one of his Gulf Coast drilling rigs,” said WPP
Vice President Mark Lum.
» “All their rigs were in use, so every minute of downtime was
costing them money. They needed the generator as soon as
possible.”

4. “Everyone in the oil field is so busy now that it’s hard to find
equipment when you need it,” said Nicklos Drilling President Jim
Nicklos. “We called several Caterpillar dealers and there was no
availability. If we had ordered one from the dealer, it would have
taken six months to arrive.”

5. » WPP, which specializes in Cummins and Caterpillar generators
and engines, has a purpose-built system that gives them real-
time visibility into all available inventory.
» As a result, WPP was able to identify a match to Nicklos’
specifications—a new, surplus Caterpillar 3512C generator set
with the original warranty—and ship it immediately.

6. “We are not a large enough company to physically buy and
maintain extra equipment,” said Nicklos. “To locate that size
engine without ordering one new, a team member could have
worked for months, contacting every Caterpillar dealer in the
country to find out what is available and when we could have it.
Worldwide Power Products does the background work to know
where and what engines are available. It is a big convenience.”
