Cuttings refer to the small rock pieces chipped by the bit during the well drilling process. The mud stream transports these rock fragments to the surface from the bit where they’re ‘caught’ to be analyzed. These cuttings are essential since they’re often the only physical lithological data recovered from wells. The data is used as …
Forecasts about the oil and gas industry’s future point toward a rapid rise in demand worldwide. Estimates reveal the demand is likely to rise by an average of 2.1% annually, with oil accounting for 37.6% of the global energy mix by 2030. The share of gas is expected to increase by 28%, up from the 22% current …
Pipeline corrosion costs the O&G industry $1.43 billion annually to fix. The figure rises even more amid increased recovery efforts from older fields using metal pipes. However, the stronger mechanical properties of composite pipes compared to unreinforced alternatives have made them a popular choice in marine, petrochemical, O&G, and many other sectors worldwide. The upsurge in thermoplastic …
Even with the most stringent safety measures, accidents can happen in the workplace. Furthermore, any mishap at an oil drilling site can swiftly escalate into a catastrophic event because of the tremendous pressure and flammability dangers prevalent there. As an example, consider the tragic Deepwater Horizon incident. While held up as a paragon of safety …

Materials used in gas and oil pipes and hydrocarbon transportation could affect a wide variety of metrics, including but not limited to operational costs, delivery time, compliance, simplicity of installation, maintenance expenses, and overall costs of ownership. Even though fiberglass pipeline has been widely used for transporting oil and gas, the current product made using …
3 Benefits of Reinforced Thermoplastic Pipe (RTP) for Oil and Gas Pipelines Read More »
Historically, the petrochemical lines industry and the oil and gas sector have had to face the grim reality of constantly replacing piping systems due to corrosion. Consequently, the pipes cost three to four times more than the initial investment, and metal and steel pipe maintenance is a costly endeavor. Glass fiber reinforced pipes have gained …
What is the Difference between GRP and GRE Pipes? Read More »
Oil and gas companies must deal with many trials and tribulations during exploration and drilling operations. Drill pipe damage is one of the most prevalent issues, among other setbacks. Anticipating causes of pipe damage is the key to preventing them and ensuring all tubular goods remain in the best possible working condition to improve operational …
