CMCE Customer Highlight: Wagner Oil Company in Texas

In the bustling energy hub of Fort Worth, Texas, Wagner Oil Company stands as a trusted name in the petroleum industry. Known for its extensive operations in oil production and storage, Wagner Oil prioritizes safety and innovation to protect its valuable resources and ensure uninterrupted operations. With storage tanks containing highly flammable materials, the company recognizes the critical importance of advanced lightning protection systems to mitigate risks and safeguard their assets. 

Wagner Oil recently addressed one of the most significant threats to its storage infrastructure: lightning strikes. A single lightning strike can potentially ignite a storage tank explosion, causing catastrophic damage to property, personnel, and the surrounding environment. Determined to eliminate this possibility, Wagner Oil installed one CMCE Lightning Suppressor on one of their 20 storage tanks. 

The CMCE Lightning Suppressor offers a groundbreaking approach to lightning protection by preventing lightning formation within its coverage area. Unlike traditional systems that merely redirect lightning strikes, the CMCE device disrupts the lightning formation process altogether, ensuring that strikes do not occur. This technology aligns perfectly with Wagner Oil’s commitment to proactive safety measures and operational reliability. 

Encouraged by the effectiveness of the initial installation and Fort Worth’s dynamic weather patterns, Wagner Oil plans to install more CMCE Lightning Suppressors to protect all 20 of their storage tanks in 2025. Each CMCE device provides comprehensive protection, eliminating the risk of lightning-related incidents and reinforcing Wagner Oil’s reputation as a leader in safety and innovation in the energy sector.
