When it comes to Calgary’s oil and gas sector, efficiency is everything. With the growing demand for production and the constant pressure to reduce costs, downtime is simply not an option. But no matter how well-maintained your equipment is, breakdowns are inevitable.
And when they happen, the clock starts ticking. That’s where industrial repair services come in—they’re not just a backup plan; they’re a critical part of ensuring your operations keep moving forward without costly interruptions.
Industrial repair services are a cornerstone for Calgary’s oil and gas companies. From custom machining to hydraulic repairs, these services are essential for getting the most out of your equipment and minimizing unexpected downtime.
Why Industrial Repair Services Matter in the Oil and Gas Industry
It’s no secret that the oil and gas sector operates under intense pressure. Whether it’s the need for constant production or the high costs of repairs and replacements, companies in Calgary can’t afford to fall behind. That’s where industrial repair services become vital. These services not only address immediate breakdowns but help prevent them before they even happen.
Humfrey Industrial Repairs specializes in providing timely and tailored solutions—whether it’s rapid repairs to get machinery back up and running, or custom machining services to create components that extend the life of your equipment. The goal is simple: to keep operations running smoothly, efficiently, and without any unnecessary delays.
The High Cost of Downtime in Oil and Gas
Downtime is the enemy of any operation in the oil and gas industry. When equipment fails, the impact isn’t just measured in lost time; it’s measured in lost revenue, safety risks, and increased operational costs. Whether it’s drilling rigs, hydraulic pumps, or refinery machinery, a breakdown can bring operations to a halt.
That’s why preventative maintenance and timely repairs are critical. Humfrey’s industrial repair services provide rapid response times to address equipment failures quickly, minimizing downtime and ensuring that your operations stay on track. The faster your equipment is back in action, the less disruption it causes—and that translates into cost savings.
Custom Machining: Keeping Your Equipment Running Smoothly
Custom machining is often the key to keeping complex oilfield machinery running smoothly. Over time, parts wear out, and off-the-shelf replacements may not be enough. That’s where precision machining steps in.
Humfrey Industrial Repairs has a long history of providing custom machining solutions for the oil and gas industry. Whether you need a custom part to fit your specific equipment or a one-off repair to prevent breakdowns, we’ve got you covered. We utilize advanced technology like the Alpha 400 Plus, known for its precision and efficiency. This cutting-edge machinery allows us to create parts that perfectly fit your equipment, ensuring minimal disruption to your operations.

This isn’t just about replacing worn-out parts; it’s about precision—ensuring that every component performs to the highest standard, even in the harshest conditions.
Preventative Maintenance: The Smart Way to Avoid Costly Repairs
The best way to avoid costly repairs is to prevent them from happening in the first place. With Humfrey’s preventative maintenance services, your equipment can stay in top condition year-round. Regular inspections, proactive repairs, and early detection of potential issues are all part of a strategy to keep your equipment working when you need it most.
For oil and gas companies, the goal is to catch problems early, before they escalate into expensive emergencies. Humfrey works with you to create a maintenance schedule tailored to your equipment and needs. This proactive approach not only saves money but also reduces the risk of unplanned downtime that can throw off your entire operation.
A study in the petroleum sector has found that maintenance optimization strategies are key to maximizing profitability, improving production safety, enhancing equipment reliability, and minimizing costs .

Hydraulic Systems & Steel Fabrication: Two Critical Services for Oil and Gas
