Pressure Control Equipment Certification

Pressure control equipment forms the primary safety barrier in wireline operations, making proper certification essential for personnel protection and regulatory compliance. Our pressure testing services encompass the complete range of wireline pressure control equipment, from simple lubricators and grease heads to wireline valves and grease pounders.

We provide IRP 13 certification levels to match your operational needs and regulatory requirements. Simple annual inspections and pressure tests ensure that equipment continues to meet basic safety standards and operational specifications. These certifications ensure seal integrity and operational functionality while identifying potential issues before they compromise safety or performance.

For equipment requiring comprehensive recertification, we offer complete Level 4 recertification services that include full disassembly, detailed component inspection, replacement of worn parts, and rigorous testing protocols. Level 4 recertification represents the most thorough certification available, essentially restoring equipment to like-new condition with complete documentation of all work performed. This comprehensive approach is particularly valuable for high-value equipment or systems operating in demanding conditions where maximum reliability is essential.

Our pressure testing capabilities cover the full range of working pressures encountered in modern oilfield operations. From standard 5,000 PSI systems to ultra-high-pressure applications exceeding 20,000 PSI, our testing equipment and procedures ensure accurate verification of pressure ratings and safety margins. All pressure testing follows established protocols with appropriate safety factors and hold times under operational conditions.

Lifting Equipment Certification

Lifting equipment certification encompasses comprehensive testing of sheaves, hanger bars, line clamps, and other overhead equipment critical to safe wireline operations. Our pull testing capabilities verify that lifting equipment meets specified load ratings while maintaining appropriate safety factors for operational use. Annual inspections and pull tests form the foundation of lifting equipment certification, verifying that equipment continues to meet load specifications and safety requirements. These routine certifications include visual inspection for wear, damage, or fatigue, along with calibrated pull testing to verify load capacity. Our testing procedures identify equipment approaching end-of-service life, allowing for planned replacement before failure occurs.

For comprehensive lifting equipment recertification we have a 30ft test bed capable of a 100,000 pound pull test. We provide full non-destructive testing (NDT) services that examine critical load-bearing components for internal defects or stress concentrations. NDT testing methods include magnetic particle inspection and dye penetrant testing, as appropriate for specific equipment types and materials. This detailed examination ensures that equipment continues to provide reliable service even under demanding operational conditions.

Certification Documentation and Compliance

All certification services include comprehensive documentation that meets industry standards and regulatory requirements. Our certification reports provide detailed test results, component condition assessments, and recommendations for continued service or replacement. This documentation supports regulatory compliance while providing valuable maintenance planning information.

IRP 13 compliance ensures that all testing procedures, documentation, and certification standards meet established industry best practices. Our technicians maintain current certifications and training to ensure that all work meets the highest professional standards. The combination of proper procedures, calibrated equipment, and experienced personnel delivers certification services that you can trust for critical safety equipment.
