As Ghana continues to solidify its position as a major petroleum hub in West Africa, the demand for high-performance drilling rig components, particularly Crown Block Components, has reached an all-time high. With major offshore operations in the Jubilee, TEN, and Sankofa Gye Nyame fields, operators in Ghana require equipment that can withstand the corrosive marine environment and the intense mechanical stress of deep-water drilling.
A Crown Block is the stationary section of a block and tackle that sits at the top of the derrick or mast. In the context of Ghana’s industrial landscape, these components are critical for ensuring the safety and efficiency of hoisting operations. At Baoji Mengtai Petroleum Machinery (MTPM), we understand the technical nuances required for these environments. Our API 8C compliant sheaves and blocks are designed with forged steel, providing superior fatigue resistance compared to traditional cast versions.
Established on July 15, 2003, and headquartered in the industrial heart of Baoji City—the same hub as BOMCO—MTPM has been a pioneer in the petroleum machinery sector for over 20 years. We were among the first Chinese enterprises to export high-end drilling components to international markets, including Africa's rapidly growing energy sectors.
Our commitment to excellence is backed by our API Monogram certifications (API-7K, API-8C, API-11D1). For drilling contractors in Ghana, this means every sheave, block, and pump component we supply meets the highest global standards for safety and performance.

MTPM’s crown block sheaves undergo specialized surface treatments and are manufactured using forged steel that minimizes surface porosity, making them significantly more resistant to the harsh Atlantic climate.
From the Port of Takoradi to the deep-water rigs offshore, our equipment is used in various scenarios:
With the Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC) pushing for increased production, the trend is moving toward automated drilling rigs. Our MT-TC Series Crown Blocks are engineered to integrate with modern electronic monitoring systems, allowing for real-time tracking of load and wear, which is essential for the predictive maintenance strategies being adopted by Ghana’s top-tier operators.
As an approved supplier for giants like BOMCO, LS Group, and Honghua, we have a history of delivering components that do not fail. In Ghana, where rig downtime can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars per day, our reliability is your greatest asset.
We hold 16 proprietary patents. Our R&D team continuously improves the metallurgy of our sheaves and valves to increase their lifespan in high-pressure oil exploration environments.
Our logistical expertise ensures that components reach the Port of Tema or Takoradi efficiently. We provide comprehensive documentation for Ghanaian customs and local content verification.
