1. Applications of Oil & Gas Forgings

The oil and gas industry operates in some of the most hostile environments on the planet, from the extreme depths of offshore drilling rigs to the harsh desert environments of onshore exploration. Forged components are essential to ensure the reliability and efficiency of operations in these challenging conditions.

At Somers, we produce forgings that are integral to a variety of oil and gas equipment, which must withstand the stresses of high pressure, heat, and corrosion. Our components are widely used in exploration, production, processing, and transportation within the industry.

Common applications include:

• Drilling equipment, including drill bits, risers, and drill collars
• Subsea components for offshore rigs
• Pipeline systems for onshore and offshore transportation
• Valves, fittings, and connectors for pressure regulation
• Pumps and compressors for fluid and gas movement
• Blowout preventers (BOPs) and wellhead equipment for safety
• Pressure vessels and heat exchangers for refining and processing

Our forged products provide the strength and durability needed to perform reliably under the most extreme conditions, where failure is not an option.

2. Key Components Manufactured by Somers

Somers is equipped to produce a wide variety of custom forgings for the oil and gas industry. We have experience manufacturing components that are essential for both upstream (exploration and production) and downstream (refining and processing) operations.

Some of the key components we manufacture include:

• Forged flanges: Essential for connecting pipes, valves, and other equipment in high-pressure environments.
• Wellhead components: Forged to withstand high pressures and harsh conditions during oil extraction.
• Drill collars: Forged for strength and durability to support the drill string during the drilling process.
• Risers and flowlines: Critical components for the transportation of oil and gas from the seafloor to processing facilities.
• Blowout preventers (BOPs): Safety-critical equipment used to prevent the uncontrolled release of oil or gas during drilling.
• Valves and fittings: High-performance forged valves and fittings to regulate flow and pressure in pipelines and processing plants.

All of these components are forged with precision and rigor, ensuring they meet the stringent safety and performance standards of the oil and gas industry.

3. Grades of Materials Used in Oil & Gas Forgings

To ensure our components can withstand the challenging environments of the oil and gas industry, we utilize a range of high-performance materials. These materials are selected based on their strength, resistance to corrosion, and durability in extreme conditions.

The materials we use for our forgings are chosen to meet the industry’s exacting standards, including API (American Petroleum Institute) and NACE (National Association of Corrosion Engineers) specifications. This ensures that our products perform reliably in the most demanding environments.
