Technical notes for the people specifying, inspecting and maintaining oilfield equipment.
Storage Tanks — May 14, 2026
Corrosion, a leaking nozzle or a damaged roof can turn into downtime, environmental exposure or a regulatory finding. A consistent inspection routine catches these while they are still small.
Fabrication — April 2, 2026
As facilities get more complex and schedules get tighter, more operators are moving piping work off the job site and into the fabrication shop.
Fabrication — February 18, 2026
Properly fabricated pipe spools cut field labor and improve long-term performance across upstream, midstream and downstream facilities.
Operations — January 9, 2026
Separators, treaters and knockouts fail in predictable ways. Knowing the pattern makes maintenance planning far less reactive.
Quality & Safety — November 20, 2025
Quality that is inspected in at the end is expensive. Quality that is built into the sequence is just how the shop runs.
