Site-controlled field work

Oilfield Mobile Welding in Midland, TX

Oilfield work can range from a simple rack repair to regulated, pressure-containing or engineered work. The asset owner and site authority must define what is isolated, what procedure applies and what qualifications or inspection are required.

  • Required inspection and closeout records

Risky shortcuts to avoid

Details that matter.

  • Mobilizing before vendor approval and site access are confirmed

Common questions

Before you approve the work.

Can you weld on a tank or line after it is drained?

Drained does not automatically mean safe. Residues, vapors, pressure and owner requirements may demand specialized cleaning, isolation, testing, procedures and approvals. Many general mobile welders will decline.

What is a WPS?

A welding procedure specification defines essential variables for making a weld under a particular code or owner requirement. Some work also requires documented welder qualification and inspection.
