Abstract:  
Industry Spotlight TRC Rod Services of Oklahoma TRC Rod Services of Oklahoma is shot peening oil well sucker rods to reduce costs and prevent downtime for domestic oil companies. Sucker rods are one of the most critical elements in a working oil well, connecting the pump jack at the surface of the well to a down-hole pump. The twenty-five foot steel rods are joined by threaded couplings. The pump jack rotates and forces the rod string up and down, in turn driving the downhole pump.
