ELS video featuring BlazeELS has a video that highlights the advantages of their Blaze boron coated couplings. Of course this is a natural upgrade for RPC's high angle lift pumps, so, one would think ELS will be the owner of RPC's patents. The question remains whether ELS wants to be a public company or remain private. If they simply want to remain private, it will be interesting to see how they proceed with their negotiations. It would seem that all they have to do is nothing and RPC will drift down in share price and have no other options but hat in hand to ask ELS to be gentle with them.
