Oilfield equipment failures and accidents occur for various 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 that occur in the oil field. Oil field equipment failures result from metal fatigue, improper use, inadequate maintenance, overstress, corrosion, corrosion fatigue, welding defects, manufacturing defects, design defects, etc.
Metallurgical failure analysis or root cause analysis is often required to provide the answer. J.E.I. Metallurgical has years of experience and conducted several oilfield investigations, giving a reliable cornerstone to reconstruct the root cause or failure. For more information about J.E.I. Metallurgical, Inc. accident investigations and metallurgical failure analysis of oil field accidents, follow the links below. These are just a few of the oilfield equipment failures and accidents investigated by J.E.I.
