Water Transfer Equipment in North Dakota
Bakken and Three Forks crews sourcing North Dakota water transfer equipment can request a quote for Gusher Gear's 12-inch and 16-inch hydraulic layflat pinchers. Each model uses external hose compression for flow restriction on compatible layflat. Include the operating and storage temperatures expected for your deployment when confirming the configuration.

North Dakota equipment FAQs
Which model fits the hose on a Bakken or Three Forks spread?
Gusher Gear offers a 12-inch model for compatible 12-inch layflat and a 16-inch model for compatible 16-inch layflat. Send the actual hose manufacturer and model with the operating conditions. Include expected operating and storage temperatures for the North Dakota deployment so component requirements can be reviewed.
What should I specify when ordering hose cutoff equipment?
Describe the flow restriction or shutoff duty required at the proposed pincher location, together with the hose, line pressure and hydraulic setup. Include deployment temperatures for a North Dakota job so the team can review the full application and component requirements.
Can I request pinchers for a pad with both Bakken and Three Forks wells?
Yes. List each pincher installation with its line identifier, hose specification and quantity. Identify shared supply lines once, even if they serve more than one target. Submit the request through the inquiry form or the relevant product page.
How do I check pricing and delivery to North Dakota?
Send the required sizes, unit quantities, receiving address and requested deployment date. The team can confirm current pricing, availability and delivery arrangements. For a staged completion program, include the dates for each pad so the quote identifies the units assigned to each job.

- Provide hose specifications and line operating conditions.
Order pinchers for Bakken and Three Forks water lines
Western North Dakota's Williston Basin contains Middle Bakken and Three Forks reservoir targets. Middle Bakken lies between organic-rich shale intervals, above the older Three Forks. A pad can include wells in both formations while sharing parts of its water system, so unit quantities should follow the hose layout and installation points.
Three Forks development can target different intervals or benches. When purchasing for a multi-target pad, use the operator's well and line identifiers to distinguish shared supply lines from separate connections. Include the deployment dates and expected operating and storage temperatures when asking the team to confirm a configuration.

Middle Bakken completion supply
Specify the pincher size and quantity for the supply line, storage connection or interconnection serving the pad. Include the completion schedule and receiving contact with the order inquiry.
Three Forks multi-target pads
A water line may serve wells in more than one Three Forks bench, so the number of reservoir targets does not determine the pincher quantity. Base the order on the actual hose connections that need flow restriction, with separate specifications where the hose or operating conditions differ.
Water service and deployment conditions
For produced-water or reuse lines, include available fluid information and upstream treatment or blending details. Add expected temperatures so the team can review the proposed hose and hydraulic configuration.
North Dakota water transfer equipment options
Compare the 12-inch and 16-inch pinchers against the hose used at each installation. Ask for the applicable component limits with your quote, including a review of the operating and storage temperatures expected on the North Dakota job.
Check the hose diameter, manufacturer and model.
12-inch hydraulic layflat pincher
For compatible 12-inch layflat hose.
- Nominal hose: 12-inch layflat
- Control: hydraulic compression
- Confirm hose construction, dimensions and operating conditions
16-inch hydraulic layflat pincher
For compatible 16-inch layflat hose.
- Nominal hose: 16-inch layflat
- Control: hydraulic compression
- Confirm hose construction, dimensions and operating conditions
Confirm hose compatibility, operating limits and any shutoff requirements with Gusher Gear before ordering. See the hydraulic layflat pincher guide for product information.
Buying for several North Dakota installations?
