No matter if operations take place on land or afloat, every rig operates at what might be called “deliberate speed,” which is to say that things need to get done as fast as possible without imposing any really egregious risks to the rig workers. Over the years, the petroleum industry has deployed increasingly sophisticated safeguards designed to reduce crew hazards without unnecessarily burdening their work production level.

Why You Need Pipe Protection

The humble pipe protection ring is something that has managed to meet the demands of this concept and even go it one better with regard to increasing safety, as well as speeding up pipe deployment. Given the exceedingly lengthy logistical chains that are often necessary to transfer tubular goods from factory to rig site, it is something of a surprise to realize how little damage is done to these items in transit. Despite their great length and mass, as well as their sensitive threaded ends, miles of pipe arrive ready to go every single day of the year.

Modern pipe protection made of the toughest materials is often the reason for this. Rather than having to deal with banged-up ends, which threaten to delay production schedules or cause catastrophic breakages in the hole, tubular goods with clean ends can be smoothly deployed and swiftly removed. This accelerates the work being done and simultaneously reduces the risk of accidents.
