State-of-the-art wellhead tubing inspection technology — no radiation, fast mobilization, and comprehensive defect detection.

01PORTABLE RIG FLOOR INSPECTION

WellTech 4X™

The WellTech 4X™ is a portable, computerized, rig floor tubing inspection system for inspecting tubing as it is being pulled from the well service rig floor. Tubing can travel through the head bidirectionally, but the inspection process takes place as the pipe is pulled out of the well.

Commands (i.e. gain, etc.) are controlled by the computer. Each data channel is displayed on the software for easy interpretation. Inspection for service-induced flaws are performed by sensors located close to the tubing for excellent sensitivity.

No Radiation Technology

The WellTech 4X™ utilizes the latest Hall effect sensors and DOES NOT USE GAMMA RADIATION, making it safer for workers and the environment.

025TH GENERATION RIG FLOOR INSPECTION

WellTech 5™

The WellTech 5™ is the latest evolution in the WellTech product line — a 5th generation EMI rig floor tubing inspection system for tubing 2 3/8" to 4 1/2" O.D. (with coupling). Designed for next-level inspection capabilities directly on the rig floor, it delivers fast, accurate, and reliable assessments of tubing conditions as pipe is pulled from the well.

The system uses a solid-state Hall effect detection system to identify service-induced flaws such as pitting, cracks, rod wear, and wall thinning. Its powerful DC magnetizing coil encircles the tubing for comprehensive inspections — with zero radiation, ever.

Most Compact WellTech Yet

The WellTech 5™ is the smallest and most efficient model in the WellTech line — optimized for rig floor use with a smaller footprint, easier handling, and faster setup. Includes the optional WellTech Hot Rod sucker rod inspection add-on.

Key Features

  • 5th generation EMI rig floor system — tubing 2 3/8" to 4 1/2" O.D.
  • Advanced non-contact transverse and wall sensor technology
  • Exclusive SPLIT-CHECK™ pneumatic split and hole detector
  • TRUEWALL™ solid-state wall thickness monitoring system
  • Inspection speed up to 150 ft./min. — handles typical rig pulling speed
  • PC-based computerized data acquisition with Dell laptop
  • Low-maintenance design — extends lifespan of internal components
  • Compact, portable design for easy rig floor integration
  • Optional WellTech Hot Rod sucker rod inspection add-on
  • DOES NOT USE GAMMA RADIATION

Wall Loss

Rod wear and longitudinal wall loss measurement

Holes

Through-wall hole detection (1/16" diameter and larger)

Splits

Longitudinal split detection via SPLIT-Check™

Rod Wear

Coupling wear and rod wear identification

Key Features

  • Non-contact design — no contact with tubing required
  • 100% computer controlled
  • 100+ high-resolution solid state Hall sensors
  • Capable of pulling wet string
  • Capable of pulling string with paraffin
  • Standard Unit is Class 1 Division 2 safety rated
  • Inspects for OD pitting, ID pitting, wall loss (rod wear), holes
  • #1 selling wellhead inspection system in the world
  • Six-function wellhead inspection unit
  • No warm-up time required — ready within 15 minutes of arrival

How Electromagnetic Inspection Works

01

Magnetization

A programmable power supply produces a constant current for magnetizing the tubing. The system can inspect at a rate of up to 200 ft/min.

02

Detection

Monitoring both magnetic fields around and within the tubing, any flaw such as rod-wear or corrosion is detected by electronics located up to 120 feet away.

03

Analysis & Report

The embedded computer sorts out defects and produces a trace-like record of each tube and a profile of the whole string on a laptop computer.
