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.
metallurgical accident investigations and metallurgical failure
analysis of oil field accidents, follow the links to the
metallurgical failures listed below.
