When operations require cutting, machining, or mechanical modification of wellsite equipment — and hot work is not an option — cold cutting and field machining provide the answer. UniServe delivers precision mechanical support without the risks associated with welding, grinding, or torch cutting.
Capabilities
- Cold cutting of casing, tubing, pipelines, and structural components
- Field machining for flange facing, seal area restoration, and precision fitting
- Spark-free operation — suitable for zones where hot work permits are restricted
- On-site milling, drilling, and tapping
- Custom tooling for non-standard wellsite configurations
Applications
Cold cutting and field machining are essential when:
- SIMOPS (simultaneous operations) restrict hot work permits
- Equipment is in a classified area where spark-producing tools are prohibited
- Precision is required on flanges, seal faces, or mating surfaces
- Casing or tubing must be cut without introducing heat-affected zones
