OIL COUNTRY TUBULAR GOODS · DRILL STEM · COMPLETIONS
Critical tubulars.
Closer inspection.
Safespear supports the inspection, maintenance and preparation of oil country tubular goods (OCTG), drill stem and associated drilling equipment. From drill pipe, tubing and casing to bottom hole assemblies (BHA) and completions equipment, we help clients define the inspection and supporting services their assets require.
Our Perth and Darwin teams coordinate enquiries for onshore and offshore scopes, including regional and remote projects. Inspection methods, personnel, access arrangements and acceptance criteria are confirmed against the equipment and client specification.
BHA & specialty tools
Inspection of bottom hole assemblies and specialty drilling tools. Component identification, drawings and previous reports help establish which areas, dimensions and inspection methods are required.
Connection repair & refacing
Field repair and refacing enquiries for tubular connections. Provide the connection details and condition information so repair suitability and the required scope can be assessed before work proceeds.
Cleaning & maintenance
Drill pipe and tubular cleaning, including mobile cleaning and high-pressure water jetting services. Cleaning and preparation requirements are planned alongside the inspection and handling scope.
Storage, handling & inventory
Support for tubular storage, handling and inventory management. Discuss quantities, identification requirements, condition records and the planned movement of equipment through your project.
Consultation & verification
OCTG inspection consultation, verification and drilling equipment inspection support. We work with you to clarify the required examination, acceptance criteria and reporting before mobilisation.
One enquiry. A clearly defined scope.
Combine inspection with the cleaning, handling and asset support your project requires.

PRACTICAL ANSWERS
OCTG inspection questions.
What does OCTG stand for?
OCTG means oil country tubular goods, including tubing and casing used in oil and gas operations. Safespear's service offering also covers drill pipe, BHA, specialty drilling tools and completions equipment.
Can cleaning and inspection be included in the same scope?
Yes. Discuss tubular cleaning, inspection, handling, inventory and storage requirements together so the sequence of work and responsibilities can be defined in the quotation.
Can you support onshore, offshore and remote projects?
Safespear supports onshore and offshore inspection enquiries through its Perth and Darwin teams. Send the location, dates, equipment details and site requirements so mobilisation and availability can be assessed.
Which inspection standard or category should I request?
Include the specification nominated by your client or equipment requirements, together with the revision and inspection category where applicable. If the requirements are not yet defined, discuss them with our team before booking the work.
What inspection records should we request?
Agree the asset identification, inspection methods, results, acceptance criteria and report format during scope planning. Include any client templates or asset register requirements so the reporting deliverables are clear from the outset.
