Tubing and rods inspection
- Inspection and reconditioning service for tubing and sucker rods
F&G TECHONOLOGIES
Inspection, washing and reconditioning of casing, tubing and rods by Non Destructive Testing methods and the newest technologies in washing systems. Certification and selection according to the pre-established acceptance-rejection criteria.
THE PROBLEM
Most common causes of pipe and sucker rod failures

-
Insufficient inspection of the tube body and thread.
-
Damages during handling and / or transport.
-
Bad practice in lowering the well pipes.
-
Corrosion in the internal and external part of the pipe due to the presence of corrosive fluids.
-
Design and operation failures.
-
Failures in connections and couplings.
-
Rod failures due to deflection and surface damage.
-
Lack of traceability of each piece, identification and improvement of the process.
-
Lack of availability of rods and pipes at the wellhead.
THE SOLUTION
Implementation of Non-Conventional NDT techniques, computerized maintenance management and the washing and recovery process

-
Washing of Tubing and Rods prior to inspection.
-
Visual inspection of the body and ends.
-
Inspection of the pipe body with electromagnetic and UT technique.
-
Placement of couplings with the adequate torque in tubing and rods.
-
Inspection of threads with magnetic particles and Induced Currents.
-
Calibration of the internal diameter of the tube body with Drift Mandrel.
-
Classification of the material according to the grade.
-
Separation and stowage of tubular material and rods.
-
SIGMA (Comprehensive Asset Maintenance Management System).
ADVANTAGES OF THE SERVICE
The final report includes a detailed list of all the tubes, identifying the location of all the flaws detected in the length of the tube.
The list has an easy filtering system that allows you to access the results of each of the tubes, quickly and easily.
- Own plant Located in Escobar and Neuquén Industrial Park, with a storage and storage plant in Zárate.
- Own transportation with delivery scheduled by system within 24 hours of issuing the order by SIGMA.
- 100% ecological system with recovery of solids and liquids, without the need to use light fuels or temperature in the washing process.
- Quality guaranteed with a state-of-the-art inspection system and trained personnel in each of the techniques used
- Permanent Stock per system, guaranteeing type of tubing, level of recovery and online availability control.
- Monitoring and subsequent recovery of parts delivered to the wellhead. Guaranteed traceability.
