Wellsite Tubing Inspection

RTS performs rig floor electromagnetic inspection (EMI) as tubing is pulled out during well servicing. The EMI unit is bolted on top of the wellhead and allows the EMI operator to quickly identify and classify defective pipe, based on API RP 5C1 (or customer specifications), that should be removed from the string. EMI inspection detects tubing wall loss and related surface flaws such as corrosion, pitting, and rod wear that can lead to future well failures.

After inspection, RTS customers have access to inspection reports and our analytics tools on HawkeyeTM DMS. By combining the critical elements of the data puzzle in one place, HawkeyeTM enhances failure analysis and drives toward a solution.

In addition to utilizing the latest EMI technology, RTS inspectors go through a rigorous apprenticeship program followed by ASNT Level II certification.
