Shurjoint taking center stage in Taylor Sheridan’s TV series Landman
In the high-stakes world of crude oil production, every component of a system plays a critical role in ensuring efficiency, safety, and long-term performance. That’s why it was no surprise when our Shurjoint product line – specifically the XH1000, 7120, and 7180 – was naturally featured in Taylor Sheridan’s show Landman. Unlike staged placements, these products were already in use on real crude oil production headers, demonstrating their reliability in real-world conditions.
understanding the system: how oil gets to the header
Before our Shurjoint products even come into play, the journey of crude oil extraction begins long before the pipes are installed:
1. exploration & drilling – oil must first be located through geological surveys. Once identified, wells are drilled deep into the earth.
2. extraction – the extracted material is not just crude oil – it includes natural gas, saltwater, and other gases that must be separated before further processing.
3. collection & flow – whether there’s one well or 30, they all pump extracted materials to a centralized production facility where separation occurs. This is where pipeline infrastructure, like the one seen in Landman, comes into play.

choosing Shurjoint for crude oil Production Headers
Once the crude oil and associated materials flow to the production header, the infrastructure must be built to handle high pressures, fluctuating flow rates, and the demands of long-term operation. That’s where Shurjoint’s grooved technology makes all the difference.
Shurjoint XH1000 – extra heavy rigid coupling
used in high-pressure applications, including commercial, industrial, and energy markets.
designed for working pressures up to 70 bar, ensuring the structural integrity of the crude oil header.
the grooved technology eliminates the need for open flames or welding, reducing safety risks in volatile environments.
Shurjoint 7120 – grooved-end fittings for essential connections
- made of ASTM A536 ductile iron, providing durability in extreme conditions.
- ensures secure connections for various system applications, including compressed air and cooling – both of which play roles in the oil extraction and processing cycle.
- conforms to Model 7707 coupling pressure ratings, ensuring consistent reliability within the production header.
designed to mate with multiple flange types (ANSI 125/150, PN10, PN16, JIS 10K, BS-10E), offering flexibility in system design.
reduces the need for custom components, making maintenance and retrofitting more efficient.
ensures compatibility with grooved piping, simplifying the transition between different system elements.
why grooved technology was the right choice
In Landman, the production system featured 6” piping, the ideal size for managing the high flow rates necessary in an oil field production header. Shurjoint’s grooved piping solutions provide key advantages in environments like these:
- faster installation – no special tools or welding are required, meaning crews can assemble and modify the system quickly.
- increased safety – without live flames or fumes, installation is safer and more compliant with strict industry regulations.
- cost savings – decreased labor costs and reduced downtime mean more efficient project execution and long-term operational benefits.
