Oil/Gas Production
We provide evaluations, troubleshooting, and failure investigations of various mechanical components and supporting equipment involved in drilling operations, such as blow off preventers, compressors, water pumps, mud pups, fracturing tanks and piping related issues.
In addition to providing safety evaluations to meet relevant standards and OSHA requirements, we perform forensic investigations and litigation support in all areas of the drilling process, including fracturing, piping, wellhead equipment, and pipelines for production. See also Forensic Engineering.
A few examples include:
- Nozzles
- Welds
- Relief Valves
- Supports
- Lifting Devices
- Pressure Vessels
- Heat Exchangers
- Piping
- Condensors
- Reactors
For over 45 years we have been responding to the needs of the power industry. See Resume Summaries of our Team.
