In oil and gas, the consequences of inspection failure are measured in safety incidents, environmental damage and regulatory action. NECIT Services provides expert oil and gas inspection services built on one principle: no shortcuts on quality, at any stage of the supply chain.

Our inspectors bring senior-level backgrounds in the oil and gas sector, with hands-on experience across upstream exploration and production, midstream transportation, and downstream refining and processing. We understand the technical standards, client specifications and regulatory frameworks that govern the industry and we deploy that knowledge on every inspection assignment.

Upstream Inspection Services

From wellhead equipment and drilling systems to production facilities and FPSO vessels, our upstream inspection services ensure that every component entering your operation meets the required standards before it reaches the field.

• Wellhead and christmas tree equipment inspection
• Pressure vessel and heat exchanger inspection
• Rotating equipment and pump inspection
• Structural fabrication inspection
• Material traceability and certification review
• Vendor inspection at manufacturer facilities

Midstream Inspection Services

Pipelines, compressor stations and storage facilities demand rigorous quality assurance. Our midstream inspection capabilities cover both the manufacture of critical components and the qualification of the welding procedures that join them.

• Pipeline equipment and valve inspection
• Welding procedure qualification (WPQR) and welder certification
• Non-destructive testing of pipeline welds and fittings
• Phased array ultrasonic testing (PAUT) for wall thickness and weld integrity
• Magnetic particle inspection (MPI) for surface and near-surface defects
• Storage tank and vessel inspection

Downstream Inspection Services

Refineries, petrochemical plants and processing facilities operate under stringent statutory obligations. Our downstream inspection team covers the full range of process equipment, from heat exchangers and pressure systems to piping networks and structural integrity assessments.

• Refinery equipment and heat exchanger inspection
• Pressure system and safety valve inspection
• Coating and painting inspection to NACE standards
• Hardness testing and material verification
• Expediting services to keep critical equipment on schedule
• Audit and vendor qualification programmes
   

Subsea and Offshore Inspection

Offshore installations and subsea infrastructure face some of the most demanding conditions in engineering. NECIT has direct experience with subsea umbilical systems, flexible risers and topside equipment inspection — ensuring that components manufactured onshore meet the full requirements of their subsea application before they are ever deployed.

Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) for Oil & Gas

NECIT is a UKAS-accredited NDT inspection body, providing independent assurance that your test results are credible and defensible. Our UKAS-accredited NDT services used in the oil and gas sector include:

• Phased array ultrasonic testing (PAUT) — advanced weld and corrosion assessment
• Magnetic particle inspection (MPI) — surface and near-surface crack detection
• Ultrasonic testing (UT) — wall thickness measurement and flaw detection
• Hardness testing — material verification for process equipment
• Visual inspection (VT) — by qualified Level 2 and Level 3 technicians

Welding Certification for Oil & Gas

Weld integrity is critical in oil and gas applications. Our welding certification services cover the full qualification process — from welding procedure qualification records (WPQRs) and welding procedure specifications (WPS) to individual welder qualification testing (WQT). We work to international standards including ISO 15614, ASME IX and BS EN ISO 9606, ensuring your welders and procedures are certified to the requirements of your project.

Third Party Inspection Services

Acting as your independent eyes on the ground, our third party inspection service provides vendor inspection at manufacturer facilities worldwide. We verify that equipment, materials and fabrications meet your purchase order, drawings and applicable codes — giving you confidence in what arrives on site. Our inspectors can work to client-specific inspection and test plans (ITPs) and produce fully documented inspection reports.

Expediting Services

When schedule is as critical as quality, NECIT's expediting service keeps procurement on track. Our site and desk expeditors monitor manufacturing progress, identify potential delays early and work directly with suppliers to ensure critical equipment arrives when you need it.
