Drilling Equipment Inspection

Buttom hole assemly (BHA) inspection consists of inspection of drill collars, heavy weight drill pipe, cross over subs, stabilisers, reamers and bit subs. Equipment required for BHA inspection includes, magnetisting coil, black light, various thread gaguges.

The inspectionof buttom hole assemblies include, wet fluorescent magnetic particle inspection of threads and upset areas, visual inspection of threads for mechanical damage, over torque. Dimensional check of thread components, as well as thread prfile and lead check of threads. BHA inspections will conform to API RP7,T.H.Hill DS1, NS2, or any other Standards nominated by customer. inspection equipment is mobile and inspection can be done at well site or customer’s yard

Used tubling inspection consists of electromagnetic inspection of tube to locateinternal and external pitting, cuts, goufes, localised wall loss which would be detrimental to the intergity of pipe. incorporated with EMI, wall Thickness readings are required to be taken, with the use of compression wave ultresonic thickness gauge.

Vallues for down grading pipe due to wall thickness loss are set by customer of inspected to comply with set standards. The electromagnetic inspection utilises the same unit as used for drill pipe inspection. im addition to tube inspection, thread inspectin is made to establish useability of threads for further use.

Tubing is also drifted to locate any restrictions inside of tube which will not allow passage of tools which may be run inside tubing during production.

Tubing sizes that we capable of inspection are 1.66” up to 6.5/8” casing sizes that we are capable of inspection 41/2“ up to 36”

Specialty tools and fishing tools are inspected to different requirements to standard bottom hole assembly tools as they are specially designed by the manufacturer. The design criteria meets the demands to complete required tasls and to exceed to stree and loads applied to tools. Connectins may be non standard API connections but will still be inspected with traditinal Non-Destructive testing (NDT) techniques or as per manufacturer inspection standards.
