CAN-K the Company
Under License from CAN-K PME
CAN-K Artificial Lift Systems Inc. was established to focus
exclusively on artificial lift solutions for the oil and gas
industry. CAN-K offers a complete range of industry
recognized pumps and associated products, while also
offering some new leading edge technologies.
Over the years CAN-K PME has developed and patented
several artificial lift technologies that have become standard
industry artificial lift solutions. In the quest to lead the
industry in product development, CAN-K is always looking
to improve and replace existing technology, thus offering
our clients new cost effective solutions for their reservoirs.

The Technology
CAN-Ks surface technology was originally developed by
Can-K PME and is a patented technology which involves
features which are not offered by our competitors. CAN-K
PME which is also involved in twin screw natural gas
compressor manufacturing and has used its combined
knowledge of both compressor and pump know-how to
develop the Surface Twin screw Multiphase Pumps.
