Oilfield Accidents
Oilfield accidents and equipment failures occur for a
variety of reasons.
Metal component failures, oil field equipment failures,
tubing failures, casing failures, well head equipment
failures and wire rope failures are just a few of the
types of metal failures found in the oil field. Oil field equipment failures occur
because of metal fatigue, improper use, inadequate
maintenance, overstress,
corrosion, corrosion fatigue,
welding defects, manufacturing
defects, design defects, etc.
Metallurgical failure
analysis and/or
root cause analysis is often required to
provide the answer. For more information about J.E.I.

analysis of oil field accidents, follow the links to the
