Tubular Solutions

What Tubular Solutions does

Tubular Solutions Inc. is a privately-held Houston-based company founded in 2003 that provides end-to-end inspection, monitoring and tubular running services to the oil and gas industry, with stated operations across land, offshore and deepwater environments. Its core commercial offering centers on the proprietary Digital Thread Inspection (DTI) system, a 6-axis robotic platform that pairs high-intensity LED lighting, high-resolution digital cameras and laser measurement to capture 360-degree images and dimensional data of OCTG (Oil Country Tubular Goods) threaded connections; artificial intelligence analyzes the imagery to flag potential defects in real time and label them on a degree-scale azimuth overlay. The proprietary Total Tubular Management System (TTMS) software parses, stores and exposes this inspection data — including length, IDs, damage and repair history — to clients through the cloud, with automated 90-day re-inspection alerts that drive recurring engagement.
