Tubular Storage
Thread Protectors
- Pipe stored on racks should have thread protectors installed at all times.
- The end connections should not be pushed with a forklift or other equipment without thread protectors installed.
Racking Pipes
Heavy Pipe
Special care must be taken when stacking heavy tubular goods. The preferred method is to only stack drill collars on the first layer.
If drill collars must be moved over drill pipe, the stripping must be strong enough to handle the load - three or more rows of stripping may be necessary.
Down Hole Tools
Special tools may require different handling. All of these tools along with the handling subs should be inspected.
