Oil & Gas CNC Machining

Precision machining for API 6A wellhead, frac pump plungers, downhole tools, wireline hardware, and subsea assemblies. Exotic-alloy fluency (Inconel, Super Duplex 2507, 17-4 PH) is weekly work — not a special project we hope goes right. Full traceability on every part.

Oil & Gas CNC Machining at B&R Productions

One Bad Part Can Shut Down the Entire Operation

Frac season doesn't wait six weeks for parts. Rig-down doesn't respect your production schedule. Oil & gas operators call B&R because we ship the right part the first time, at the tolerance the print specifies, with the material traceability the field demands.

Machines we run for oil & gas customers

Every machine has a dedicated capability paper — click through for full specs, alloys, and typical parts.

Typical oil & gas parts

  • API 6A wellhead spools and adapters
  • Frac pump fluid ends and plungers
  • Downhole tool bodies (drilling and completion)
  • Wireline running and pulling tools
  • Valve internals — gate, ball, plug
  • Subsea manifold components
  • Reverse-engineered discontinued OEM parts

Frequently asked questions

Do you machine API 6A wellhead and completion components?

Yes. We machine to API 6A tolerances routinely — bodies, bonnets, adapters, hangers, valve internals, and mating surfaces — in materials from 4130/4140/4340 through 17-4 PH, Inconel 718 and 625, and Super Duplex. Full material traceability, heat/lot documentation, first-article inspection with CMM data.

What exotic alloys do you work in for oil & gas parts?

Inconel 718 and 625, Hastelloy C-276, 17-4 PH (all conditions), Super Duplex 2507, Duplex 2205, Titanium Grade 5, Monel K-500, 4140/4340 pre-hard, and high-chrome tool steels. Sharp tooling and proven feeds/speeds for each — we're not learning on your part.

How fast can you turn around emergency frac / rig-down repair work?

For existing customers with stocked material: same-day to next-day is realistic. New customers with stocked alloy: 2–5 days including material verification. Rush emergency work gets prioritized on the schedule.

Do you reverse-engineer discontinued oilfield parts from samples?

Yes. Send a worn or discontinued part; we CMM-measure it, PMI-verify the alloy, hardness-test to infer heat treat condition, and produce replacements with full traceability. Standard sustainment work for downhole tools, wireline tools, and API-adjacent hardware.

What tolerances do you hold on critical oil & gas features?

±0.0005" routine on critical dimensions, tighter with careful setup. Every critical feature gets first-article CMM verification and in-process gauging. Certified gauges and granite plates. Documented via first-article inspection reports.

Do you serve operators in the Permian, Eagle Ford, and Haynesville?

Yes. We ship parts daily to operators and service companies across all three plays. Nationwide ground and freight from New Waverly. Local pickup available for Montgomery County / Walker County customers.

Oil & Gas CNC Machining — What Buyers Get With B&R

Materials we work in every week

Inconel 718 and 625, Hastelloy C-276, 17-4 PH, Super Duplex 2507, Duplex 2205, titanium Grade 5, 4130 / 4140 / 4340 pre-hard, Monel, and high-chrome tool steels. Sharp tooling and proven feeds and speeds for each — your part is not the one we learn on.

Parts we make for the oilfield

Frac pump fluid ends, plungers, valve bodies and seats, packing bores, wellhead bodies and bonnets, adapters, hangers, valve internals, downhole tool bodies, mandrels, subs, crossovers, mud motor rotors and stators, wireline components, artificial-lift assemblies, and API 6A / 6D mating hardware.

Tolerances, inspection, and traceability

±0.0005" routine on critical features, tighter on request. First-article layout and CMM verification on every job. Documented material traceability by heat and lot. Customer-specific ITPs and quality plans supported.

Emergency and rig-down work

Frac fleets, workover rigs, and completion crews call when equipment is offline and burning revenue. Same-week is realistic for most emergency parts; same-day and next-day when the material is on the shelf. Call (936) 291-7827 and we’ll tell you the truth about the schedule.

Serving the whole Texas oilfield

New Waverly is one hour north of Houston, with daily shipping to the Permian Basin, Eagle Ford, Haynesville, Gulf Coast, and East Texas. Also serving operators and service companies in Louisiana, Oklahoma, and New Mexico.

Common questions from buyers

Do you machine API 6A wellhead and completion components?

Yes. We machine to API 6A tolerances routinely — bodies, bonnets, adapters, hangers, valve internals and mating surfaces — in materials from 4130/4140/4340 through 17-4 PH, Inconel 718 and 625, and Duplex/Super Duplex stainless.

What exotic alloys do you work in for oil & gas parts?

Inconel 718 and 625, Hastelloy C-276, 17-4 PH, super duplex (2507), duplex (2205), titanium Grade 5, 4140/4340 pre-hard, Monel, and high-chrome tool steels. We keep sharp tooling and proven feeds/speeds for each, so we're not learning on your part.

Can you turn frac pump and completion tool components?

Yes. Frac pump fluid ends, packing bores, plungers, valve seats, valve bodies, downhole tool bodies, mandrels, subs, crossovers, and mud motor rotors/stators are all within our envelope. We have the swing, bed length, and horsepower to handle large-diameter and long parts other job shops turn away.

What tolerances do you hold on precision oil & gas components?

We routinely hold ±0.0005" on critical features, tighter on request. Certified gauges, granite surface plates, and calibrated CMMs back every dimension. Every critical dimension gets 100% inspection with a first-article layout.

How fast can you turn around emergency frac / downhole repair work?

Emergency and rig-down jobs are our specialty. When your equipment is offline and burning revenue, we prioritize your part on the schedule — same-week is realistic for many jobs; same-day and next-day when the material is on the shelf. Call (936) 291-7827 and we'll tell you honestly.

Do you build to customer prints, or offer reverse-engineering from samples?

Both. Send a print (PDF, STEP, IGES, DWG) or a physical sample. We reverse-engineer worn-out or discontinued OEM parts regularly for operators keeping legacy equipment in service. NDAs on request.

Are you a Texas-based CNC shop that can ship to the Permian, Eagle Ford, and Haynesville?

Yes. Our shop is in New Waverly, TX — one hour north of Houston. We ship daily to operators and service companies across the Permian Basin, Eagle Ford, Haynesville, Gulf Coast, and East Texas.

What certifications or quality processes do you follow?

We work to customer-specific quality plans. Standard practice includes documented material traceability (heat/lot), first-article inspection, in-process gauging, and final CMM verification, with a certificate of conformance on delivery. B&R is not ITAR- or AS9100-registered — if your program requires either, you need a registered shop and we'll say so up front.
