Prioritizing Sustainable Innovations

Your operational success requires more than equipment. With 20 strategic locations in 14 countries, we can reduce your lead time, navigating customs, shipping routes, unique market and local compliance issues, and other challenges.

Committed to reducing our environmental footprint through innovation, we maintain transparency and environmentally responsible and compliant practices.

Rust Grip and Carbon Reduction

By substantially reducing corrosion, innovations like Rust Grip significantly extend the lifespan of drill pipes, leading to fewer replacements and less waste. Less maintenance also means reduced downtime and emissions associated with repair.

Custom Innovations, Our Specialty

For Workstrings, unique client demands fuel our innovations. Like a specialized drill pipe designed to improve performance and operational safety in the Gulf of Mexico. Or a bespoke deepwater landing string to enhance load capacity and reduce downtime.
