Using the latest nondestructive testing equipment, highly trained and qualified DRILCO personnel provide a full range of drilling rig inspection services that include a variety of third-party standards.

Field and in-house inspections

Onsite repair and inspection services reduce tubular maintenance costs by eliminating unnecessary trucking and tool rentals. DRILCO’s completely self-contained mobile units are easily transported to remote locations, on land or offshore, to repair minor thread and should blemishes onsite.

In-house inspection services are also available at any customer facility or with DRILCO acting as an in-house third-party inspector.

In-shop inspections

The DRILCO worldwide network of service centers provides tubular repair and inspection at most major drilling locations. Service centers are equipped with the latest automated electromagnetic induction and ultrasonic inspection for fast, high-quality inspections. Service centers offer full-length, dual-function electromagnetic inspection. At some locations, full-length ultrasonic inspection is also available.

After inspection, tubular products and downhole tools can be fully repaired at a DRILCO machine shop.



EMI tubular inspection system
