Oil and gas is a critical world industry.

The oil and gas sector is vital to the global economy and energy supply, and welding is an important technology in this field. This is why Red-D-Arc Welderentals’ welding solutions play a significant role in the industry – for rigs, pipelines, platforms, and plants, which are frequently created with the assistance of welding.

Welding is crucial to oil and gas operations, not just for the construction of new projects, but also for maintaining existing facilities.

Speed, versatility, and cost-effectiveness

There are three major operation stages in this industry – upstream, midstream, and downstream, all of which rely on welding technology. The upstream stage includes exploration, recovery, and production of crude oil and natural gas, and welding is used to create flow and gathering lines and support structures. The midstream sector, which covers transportation and storage of extracted crude oil and gas, requires welding for pipelines, storage tanks, and transport containers. The downstream stage involves refining crude oil into various products, and it uses welding for creating storage and transport vessels for refined products, plus distribution lines for supplying gas.

The oil and gas industry benefits from welding in the following ways:

  • Quality. Lapses in quality can severely damage the environment while resulting in devastating losses of life and money in this sector. To meet the uncompromisable quality standards of the oil and gas industry, Red-D-Arc welding equipment creates durable components that withstand extreme pressure, temperature, weight, and environment.
  • Speed. In oil and gas, mere minutes of production downtime often leads to thousands of dollars in losses. When conducted by professionals with the right equipment, welding is a relatively fast process in maintenance and repair.
  • Efficiency. Key to productivity in this industry, efficiency of welding is crucial to the success of many projects. Automation, induction heaters, and fume extractors help boost welding efficiency.
  • Versatility. Workers can use welding to fabricate pipes of varying thicknesses, lengths, and diameters. Welding is also compatible with hundreds of metal grades used in the sector, and it is doable in virtually all outdoor environments.
  • Cost-effectiveness. Welding is comparatively inexpensive, especially through equipment rental.
