Geographically positioned between The Fayetteville Shelf, Western Oklahoma and Northeast Texas, BCI offers 24/7/365 oilfield expertise and service to many of the industries leading drillers and wellhead service companies. With over 140 years combined oilfield experience, BCI offers one of the most complete and qualified machine shops in the region. Until now, Eastern Oklahoma, Western Arkansas drillers and oilfield service companies seeking an API certified shop often traveled to OKC, Dallas, Houston or Lafayette to fulfill their requirements.

Keeping up with increasing demands, BCI has added new CNC machines, welding and fabrication equipment as well as the hiring of new experienced machinist, welders and fabricators. This growth has positioned BCI as a shop of choice by many industrial and oil & gas companies from the Ark-La-Tex to international ports. For example, the acquisition of a new vertical CNC milling machine has resulted in a 50% increase in a particular customer’s product.

BCI is pleased to announce the recent hiring of Milton Atkinson as Project Manager. Milton comes to BCI with a background in CNC machining for the steel, wind power and railroad industries. Milton's responsibilities will include CNC training for new hires as well as expanding the knowledge and expertise of existing personnel.

The use of CNC technology has the benefits of increased productivity with no compromise to the high precision and quality of our work.

Three Haas TL-4 CNC horizontal machining centers arranged in a "cell" allows BCI to machine the most difficult jobs, decreasing cycle time and eliminating the possibility for operator error. The three machines (cell) are designed with project specific tools and fixtures that drasticially improce production time and eliminate human error. 

Meet Wesley Lynch, new Quality Control Manager and API/ISO management representative.

Wesley is responsible for ensuring that processes needed for quality management are established, implemented and properly maintained. A part of Wesley’s job duties is to perform an internal audit of our quality control program and to work closely with the outside auditors when they are at our facilities.

We were notified this past week that we once again have passed our API / ISO certification. This is an important part of our commitment to our customers of providing the best products and services possible; and having these certifications represents an independent source of assurance to our customers of that commitment.

Almost there! BCI is in the final stages of going online! Working with Kirkham Systems, BCI is launching a site that will be an industry show piece enabling users’ easy access to departmental capabilities, BCI standards of quality and safety as well as information on its day to day operations.
