The equipment used in our industry operates in some of the harshest environments in the oilfield. Even high-quality tools can experience wear and stress over time, which may affect their performance and reliability. Periodic equipment recertification is an important step to ensure operational safety and readiness.

Why Equipment Verification Matters

Operators rely on their tools for safety, efficiency, and uninterrupted operations. Even minimal testing, such as pull and pressure verification, can provide critical insight into equipment readiness:

  • Pull Testing confirms that the equipment meets the maximum load rating for safe operations.

These tests provide a practical measure of tool performance, helping operators make informed decisions before deploying equipment in the field.
