Inspection of new and used drill pipe is essential to detecting defects that originate either in manufacturing or drilling. NOV® Tuboscope® provides inspections for all drilling operations, including deviated and horizontal well bores.
Tuboscope offers a range of full life cycle drill pipe management programs across the globe. In the United States, the Drill PipeScout℠ report can reduce risk by identifying operational problems, improper care and handling as well as ensuring the pipe is fit-for-purpose for the specific drilling application.
