Knight Oil Tools' new Hobbs, N.M., facility

Knight Oil Tools has relocated to a new facility to expand its Hobbs, N.M., operations.

The new complex, located at 4120 West Carlsbad Highway, houses the company’s Rental Tool Services and Fishing Services units and will serve Knight Oil Tools customers in the Mid-Continent Region and the Permian Basin in New Mexico and W. Texas, the company said in an April 27 press release announcing the expansion.

Knight Oil Tools’ larger Hobbs facility includes an office and warehouse building covering approximately 27,083 square feet. The facility provides inventory and maintenance operations for fishing tools and rental tools equipment. An 8,228-square- foot wash facility at the site includes a closed-loop environmental system to capture and handle waste from cleaning operations.

“Knight Oil Tools continues to grow and diversify through the acquisition of new inventory, product lines and expansion into new areas,” CEO Earl Blackwell said in the release.

The company plans to sell its old facility, located at 1718 S. Dal Paso.

Knight Oil Tools is the largest privately held rental and fishing tools business in the oil and gas industry, operating from more than 50 locations across 11 oil-producing states and internationally.
