OPTIONAL DRILL PIPE MAINTENANCE SERVICES

SERVICE DESCRIPTION

In order to protect the clients drill pipe tool joints and center wear pads from excessive
wear while drilling in abrasive environments, hardbanding is applied in 1 inch bands around
the circumference of the tool joints and center wear pads. Various mesh sizes of tungsten
HARDBANDING
can be applied with the band. As an alternaKve to tungsten, AMOSCO is also capable of
applying Pinnacle Pinnchrome and Arnco. The applicaKon reduces casing wear while
protecKng the tool joint of the drill pipe.
Controlled automaKc welding procedures are used to build-up the outside diameter of worn
tool joints to their original size. Instead of scrapping drill pipe whose tool joint OD's are
BUILD-UP below specificaKon, applying the same concept as hardbanding is able to literally
reconstruct the OD of your tool joints back to specificaKon, thus salvaging the premium pipe
body and saving the client money.

Mill slojng is performed by cujng a round or elongated slot into the body or tool joints of

for this use is employed. Like the device used for hardness tesKng, the size and weight of

Upon inspecKon, tubulars found to have damaged threads or bodies will be reported and segregated
from the good lengths, which will be taken into stock. All rejected lengths will be put to one side for
repair or scrap, at your opKon.
When good lengths are taken into stock the items will be listed by stock number, rack locaKon
number, OD size, grade, weight, range, total footage as well as individual tally lengths.
A customer purchase order number can also be added for idenKficaKon and tracking purposes, if

representaKve in wriKng of the quanKty and type of tubulars required.
They would need to specify the total footage, the rig locaKon or well number and the date that
the shipment is scheduled to leave.
The AMOSCO representaKve would supervise the preparaKon and the bundling of the tubulars
and prepare a cargo manifest staKng the type of goods, the total footage, the number of
bundles, the total weight with the rig or locaKon of desKnaKon.
Once the tubular goods will have le^ the yard the stock count will be adjusted accordingly.

REPORTING.
A daily, weekly or monthly report will be handed to the Customer representaKve. The report will
cover the items inspected, maintained and shipped during that period. It will also cover yard
labour Kme, crane and forkli^ usage, in the event that the Customer does not have a permanent
forkli^ and / or crane on site.
A copy of the stock inventory will be given to the Customer representaKve on a weekly basis, in
order for your representaKve to monitor stock levels. This report could be submiged more
