Used Tubulars Services

Defects shorten your Tubulars life :

Erosion of the pipe walls, threads or couplings is caused by the abrasive action of sand or other unconsolidated material in the production stream. Found most often in high-pressure / high-velocity wells, erosion is accelerated by simultaneous corrosion pitting of the tube's ID. Erosion can also occur in the stand-off areas of the threaded coupling and- when combined with severe pitting - results in leaks or string separation.

One established method by Tuboscope has been to design a used Tubular Inspection program. This helps to return potentially reusable tubulars to service. Instead of incurring substantial capital costs to purchase new ones. Or waiting for a Tubing Failure to disrupt production and send your production costs soaring out of control.

A used tubing refurbishment program also reduces warehousing costs for used tubing that's serviceable and helps you to gain valuable information on preventive practices that can save you even more money down the road.

Our used Tubular Refurbishment Services are the most comprehensive. In Indonesia , we offer the following services :

Visual Inspection to determine the extent of corrosion or physical damage and to reject those tubulars that are obviously unserviceable.

Clean Light Scale and Paraffin , Internally and Externally , using our highly-efficient , high-speed ID / OD cleaning units.

Drift the full length of Tubing to identify constriction due to mashes, mechanical damage and to ensure it meets API or the clients specific requirements.

Perform an Electro-Magnetic Inspection of the tube body to detect service induced flaws, such as corrosion pitting, cuts, gouges, cracks and rod wear. We use equipment and procedures that are appropriate for the environment in which your tubing is used.

Clean and visually inspect threads to catch defects in the end-areas that an Electro-Magnetic Inspection cannot detect. This step also includes a critical inspection of the upset area.

Apply Thread Lube, either API-approved or customer specified, to protect the threads during storage and Transit.

Install Thread Protectors to protect threads from damage during transit and storage.

Stencil identifying work order information onto each length of tubing.

Tally and Segregate tubulars to verify the number of lengths of tubing inspected and to quickly determine good footage versus reject footage. Tubulars are segregated by classification code (API 5C1) or customer specifications.

Computerized Storage and Inventory of your processed Tubing.
