The World’s Largest Pumpjack will be debuting for the first time on Canadian soil at the Peace Region Energy Show May 15th and 16th in Grande Prairie.
The monstrous pumpjack stands taller than a five-story building at more than 50 feet in height at the top of its stroke (double the height of the Great Wall of China) and weighs over 160K pounds.
The jack was manufactured by Alberta-based Artificial lift company, Redhead, and installation of the jack for the show will be completed by local oilfield operator, Peace Country Industries.
Officials say the jack is industry-ready and can be used for “record-breaking” oil production and Redhead representatives say they would love to stick a “sold” sign on the gargantuan machine by the end of the show.
The show runs from 10 a.m. t0 7 a.m. on May 15th, and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on May 16th. Visitor registration for the Peace Region Energy Show is free, and you can find more information on the official website.
