Stamp of Approval

API certifications are an imperative to provide value added services to the oil and gas industry.

The American Petroleum Institute (API) has been at the forefront of creating standards of excellence for the oil and gas industry. The institute is also responsible for creating the certifications that are provided to oil and gas drilling companies in America.

The main purpose of these certifications is to ensure the safety of the workers, the reliability of the equipment, and environment protection. One of the most important certifications is the API 5CT. This certification highlights the specifications for the casing and tubing hanger components on wellhead equipment. The certification is extremely expensive to obtain as there are strict rules, and a thorough evaluation process is followed before a company is awarded.

Integrated Equipment, one of the leading oil and gas manufacturing equipment companies in America has been awarded many certifications by the API thanks its emphasis on complete excellence in their equipment design, manufacturing and shipping process.

Integrated Equipment is a major distributor of API 5CT and 5L couplings. We stock and distribute API 5CT Tubing and Casing Couplings in various sizes worldwide. Our range consists of 1.315”OD up to 5.00” OD in J55/K55 and N80 and L80 grades. We also distribute API 5L Line Pipe Couplings in 2.00”, 3.00” and 4.00” OD.

The components created by Integrated are used by some of the best companies around the world. There are two types of tubing hanger components that are sold by Integrated:



·         TC-1W Tubing Hangers: The hanger comes with a bowl size of 7-1/16. The Hanger also saw varied tubing sizes ranging from

o   2-3/8

o   2-7/8

o   3-1/2



The following are the features of the TC-1W Hangers:

o   The Hanger consists of a split, wrap around pack off

o   It allows tubing string manipulation so that the hanger can displace fluids while maintaining annular pressure.

o   The Hanger also comes with a compression type seal, which is actuated by lock down screws.



·         TC-1A Tubing Hangers: The TC-1A is also known as the threaded mandrel type hanger. There are many similarities between the TC-1W and the TC-1A Hangers. Both come with bowl sizes of 7-1/16. Both have a variety of tubing sizes ranging from

o   2-3/8

o   2-7/8

o   3-1/2



The TC-1A's features include:

o   It has a compressed seal that is actuated by lock down screws

Integrated Equipment - Ensuring Safety

Safety is always a major concern for all in the oil and gas industries. New innovations in the industry promise to simplify the whole process. A little more about these innovations are given below.
Did you know that the oil and gas industry employs more than 9.2 million people in the US? It also pays approximately $86 tax to the Federal Government daily. This is how big the oil and gas industry is. But these facts cannot shadow the risky nature of the oil drilling industry. The major risk that is involved in the process is that of a total blowout. There have been many incidents wherein the blowout preventers failed to control the blowouts, which lead to grave consequences. The flammable nature of oil did not make the matters any easy.
A renowned oil drilling company has come up with automated drilling process that is said to save time, money and energy. Known as SCADA, automating drilling will work in three stages. SCADA might be the future of oil drilling, but today, reliable oil drilling equipment manufacturers like Integrated Equipment are the best providers of a safe oil drilling experience.
Integrated Equipment is based in Houston, Texas. We boast of our expertise in the manufacturing, designing, and distributing of oilfield drilling equipment like expanding gate valves, wellhead equipment and annular blowout preventers. We serve the global market with cost effective and quality solutions. Integrated also offers a range of customized products, keeping in mind your requests and other factors like the geographical location where the product will be used.
We are also a major distributor of API 5CT and 5L couplings in US and other parts of the world. Our tubing and casing couplings in different sizes and grades range from 1.315”OD up to a 5.00” OD in J55/K55 and N80 and L80 grades. Some of the special features of our API 5 CT products are as follows:
          All our products like expanding gate valves and API 5 CT are ISO 9001 certified.
          We have stocking points worldwide.
          We also have a proven track for on time deliveries
          To ensure a greater quality and durability, our couplings have OD turned down.
          We have a team of experts for plating, painting, and the packaging processes.

We also have API 5CT Special Clearance tubing couplings that are modified and can be used for fitted seal rings.
As stated above, the oil and gas industry is a major contributor to the economy; hence, we need to take all the possible efforts to ensure safety.

You're Hired!

Oilfield equipment manufacturers are looking out for the best in the oil and gas business to add to their payroll.
The American Economy may still be in the process of getting out of the recession, but this has not stopped the oil and gas industry from moving ahead. The industry has not been hit as hard as other industries. And now, the energy industry is hoping to increase the pay of employees by 3.6% next year. Companies also have plans to spend 17.8% of their payroll on bonuses.
This will be a great opportunity for oilfield drilling equipment manufacturers. The word in the industry right now is 'grow'. Rather than relieving employees from their positions, many companies are actually bringing in more people, who would add to their talent pool. Many employees are changing jobs and moving to work with competitors. Also, there is a shortage of talented, technical staff. So, companies are competing with each other to bring in experts in key technical areas such as engineering and geosciences.
If you are looking for a company that is known for its quality talent and employee management, then Integrated Equipment is just what you're looking for.

Creating History

After the celebration of the 153rd anniversary of the first oil well in the world, the oil and gas industry has another reason to celebrate; UAE is set to open its first oil and gas museum and ADIPEC.
The Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition and Conference (ADIPEC) will feature this exhibition and it will be open for all the days of the exhibition. Visitors will be able to understand the journey of oil drilling industry in UAE from discovery to production; a part of the 1928 to 2000s timeline.
The United States of America also boasts of such a museum, it is known as the Drake Well Museum. Located in Pennsylvania, the Drake Well Museum depicts the birth of the oil industry which took place in the 1859 in the US. A replica of the original oil well by Colonel Edward Drake is featured in this museum along with oil field equipment of those times.
The oilfield drilling equipment has had a total makeover since the first wellhead equipment invented. The Drake Well, the first ever known oil well in the world was drilled with the help of a salt well driller! With many trials and tribulations, that oil well did workout. However today, thanks to oilfield equipment manufacturer companies like Integrated Equipment oil drilling companies don't have to struggle much.
We, Integrated Equipment are based in Houston, Texas. We manufacture, design and distribute oil field drilling equipment right from wellhead equipment to pulsation dampeners. Our products are not only used in US but also in the other parts of the world. Integrated Equipment's products include a range of Ram and Annular Blowout Preventers, Pulsation Dampeners, Wellhead X Mas Tree Components, Expanding Gate Valves, FC Type Valves and related internal components. We can also develop tailor-made products to meet your specific needs.
At Integrated, we know the importance of safety when it comes to oil drilling equipment, and hence have adopted a zero-error technique for all our products. Blowout Preventers are critical element of any oil rig. Our blowout preventers, be it Ram or Annular, are made as per the requirements of API 16A; and our Pulsation Dampener Line Is ASME U and U2 Stamp encoded and carries CRN approval. We are also an ISO 9001 accredited company, hence you can be rest assured about the quality of our products.
The museum of UAE or USA, all denote the history of oilfield industry. It is now time to create new history about the progress of oil drilling industry, and to create history, we have to be well equipped! So, give a call to Integrated Equipment today, we are eager to partner you in creating of oil drilling history of tomorrow.
