Be Safe, Be With Us

The Indian Government is contemplating on giving a statutory status to the Oil Industry Safety Directorate (OISD). The function of OISD  is to formulate safety measures for the Oil and Gas Industry.

The purpose of the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas to form OISD was to improve safety in the Oil and Gas Industry. It carries safety audits on the Oil and Gas installations, and also forms standard procedures and guidelines for the design, operation and maintenance of the installations. The formation of OISD has benefited the industry to a very large extent. The safety issues are not simple for the industry as they involve lot of research. The procedures, methods in the industry, the handling and installation of equipment, are complex and risky. Hazards not only result in human loss, but they affect the environment adversely in the case of oil spills. There is always a potential risk involved, and negligence can result into a fire and explosion due to accidental release of flammable hydrocarbons. 

Oil well equipment like wellhead equipment, pulsation dampener, blowout preventers, etc. play important roles in the Oil and Gas Industry. The quality standard is of prime concern since the equipment hold the safety of the oil well with them. Integrated Equipment understands the gravity of the concern and manufactures oil-well equipment that are thoroughly engineered, researched, evaluated, reviewed and tested to the highest standards of excellence.  We use materials that meet or exceed API and ASME standards. All wellhead equipment are manufactured under Integrated Equipment's API 6A license. 

Our Pulsation Dampener Line is ASME U and U2 Stamp encoded and carries CRN approval. We continuously review our existing products so that we can keep improving on them. This leads to better performance and simpler operations. Due to the standards that we maintain and our endeavor to improve continuously, we are trusted by our clients. Our clients like to approach only us as we have Certified Professional Engineers on staff to assist in product engineering calculations, verifications of product development data, conducting Finite Element Analysis (FEA), and helping them to maintain compliance on our ASME and API certifications.

Our consistent improvement in our performance has lead to the exponential growth of our products over the years. What has guided us through this growth is our principle of being responsive to the customer. When you approach Integrated Equipment, we make sure that you get only the best.

The Next Big Thing?

Natural gas is becoming the new contender in the energy race as reports of it producing as much power as coal are coming in.

Coal may just become an obsolete commodity. For natural gas is turning out to become the future of the energy sector in the USA. In June 2012, for the first time in American history, natural gas generated as much electricity as coal. Natural gas is readily available in the state of Louisiana, which also consists of the country’s largest producing natural gas field. The Intellectual Property Attache Act (IPAA) believes that the state will contribute 49% of the entire country’s natural gas in the next 20 years.

There are many advantages to using natural gas. One major point is that it is a cleaner fuel than coal. A study conducted by Cornell University on the usage of natural gas finds that the country can reduce 40% of its carbon emissions with natural gas.

With natural gas becoming a top contender in the energy race, this is certainly good news for the oil and gas industry, especially for original equipment manufacturers. Nearly 85% of oil well boring is done with drilling equipment. The demand for products such as drilling dampeners and pulsation dampener will probably grow along with that of drilling equipment.

Oil well boring requires equipment that will work in difficult conditions as well as have a long work life. One company that has made its mark in the oil and gas industry is Integrated Equipment. We are known for our blowout preventers, pulsation dampeners, wellhead equipment, and drilling dampeners, to name a few.

Integrated's  pulsation dampeners are unique in design and construction. The bodies are made from a single piece of construction, thus eliminating the risk of onsite weld failures. The dampeners also comprise removable top and bottom plates, which are easily replaceable on field. Our dampeners have capacities between 1 and 20 gallons. They have a pressure range between 285 psi and 7500 psi. The inside surfaces are machined for smooth diaphragm movement. The diaphragms are equipped with stabilizer to prevent fluid entrapment. The diaphragms can also be replaced without removing the unit from the drilling line. These many aspects make Integrated’s drilling equipment the best for the job.

Yet, the question still remains. Will natural gas become the next big thing in the energy industry? We will just have to wait and see.
