Tuboscope Coating

Tuboscope invented the internal tubular coating process in the 1930s and has led this global industry ever since, pioneering the use of advanced plastic-coatings technology to substantially enhance the performance of tubulars and the bottom line.

Tuboscope coatings, manufactured in Houston, Texas and applied at 14 facilities around the world, have consistently set the standard for maximizing the useful life of tubulars, reducing wear, increasing hydraulic efficiency, preventing corrosion and controlling the buildup of harmful scale, paraffin or asphaltene. All of which enhances the bottom line by delivering the most value from tubulars, the most productivity from the operation and the most profit from the investment.

Tuboscope Inspection

Tuboscope is an inspection service company that has instant access to an unprecedented depth of talent, proven experience and industry-leading technologies to maximize the profitability of projects.

Tuboscope has been performing inspections on tubular goods for over 65 years. From the beginning of a single machine shop in 1938 to more than 180 locations in 49 countries on six continents, Tuboscope continues the tradition of providing value added services, reducing risk, enhancing the bottom line, protecting customers investment, while adding productivity and growth.

The extreme high cost of downtime due to drill pipe, casing, tubing and sucker rod defects continues to be eliminated with the strong commitment by Tuboscope to continuously improve and provide state-of-the-art inspections globally.

Tuboscope Leak Detection

Tuboscope consistently sets the standard for precision testing to ensure safe efficient oil and gas well operations. Tuboscope’s decades of experience combine with an innovative spirit and state-of-the-art technology to provide fast, economical and environmentally friendly testing methods to optimize drilling and production efforts.

The mission of Tuboscope is more than just leak detection. It includes understanding how connections work, knowing what causes them to fail and recommending innovative solutions.


Systems and Components


Tuboscope Pipeline Services

Tuboscope Pipeline Services is one of the most experienced and innovative pipeline inspection companies in the industry, with a highly successful record of more than 650,000 miles of pipeline inspections worldwide. Tuboscope Pipeline Services continues to redefine what is possible in pipeline inspection and management, leading the industry in data acquisition tools, analysis and visualization technology, quick-response scheduling, and efficient field operations

In 1965, Tuboscope Pipeline Services introduced the industry’s first instrumented “Smart Pig” capable of evaluating the conditions of in-service pipelines. The Linalog survey systems have since evolved into the most advanced pipeline survey systems available.

Today, Tuboscope is a leader in the industry transition to Pipeline Integrity Management (PIM) systems, a new approach to pipeline management. PIM systems provide operators with more powerful tools to make pipelines safer, increase uptime, and reduce costs. New In-Line Inspection (ILI) tools from Tuboscope provide spatial data from Geographical Information Systems, Inertial Navigation Systems, and Global Positioning Systems, which dramatically increases the power of PIM systems. When high-resolution data from these tools are combined with Tuboscope’s LinaView Professional suite of integrated management, analysis, and risk assessment software, the result is the most powerful pipeline survey and management system in the business.
