Drill Collar & BHA Inspection

 Pro-Tec Inspection employs qualified and certified personnel to perform wet magnetic particle inspection on drill collars and rotary sub thread connections as well as other drilling components. Parts are introduced to a longitudinal field so they can be inspected for transverse flaws (cracks) in the thread connections. All thread connection inspections are performed with a black light while looking for cracks as well as lead gauges and API thread profile gauges to determine thread wear.

Casing Clean, Drift & Tally

 Pro-Tec has clean and drift crews that rack pipe, tally, drift and clean casing. All casing is drifted with mandrels conforming to API specifications that are passed through the full length of each tube to assure compliance with API internal diameter specifications.
