Oil and Gas

we offer a wide range of services tailored specifically for the oil and gas industry, focusing on precision, safety, and reliability.

Our team has deep expertise in addressing the unique challenges faced in this sector, providing solutions that enhance operational efficiency and minimize downtime.

Re-threading of Rotary Shouldered Connections

We provide expert re-threading services for rotary shouldered connections, ensuring your equipment meets industry standards and operates efficiently.

Hard Banding

Our hard banding services enhance the durability of drill pipe connections, offering protection against wear in tough drilling environments.

Pipe Straightening

We offer precise pipe straightening services to restore bent or deformed pipes to their original shape, ensuring they meet operational requirements.

Saw Cutting

We use advanced saw cutting technology for accurate and clean cuts, essential for customizing and preparing pipes and equipment for further processing.

Phosphating

Our phosphating services offer corrosion resistance and improve the wear properties of metal surfaces, ensuring longevity and performance in harsh environments.

Hard Facing

We provide hard facing services to improve the wear resistance of metal surfaces, increasing the lifespan of tools and components exposed to high stress.

At Magnum Engineering and General Contractors Ltd, we specialize in Hardbanding, repair for oil & gas equipment, and the inspection, maintenance, and remedial repairs of downhole rotary shoulder connections (RSCs), a critical interface in drilling tools and drill string components used across Kenya’s oil and gas operations.

Rotary shoulder connections endure extreme torque, axial loads, and bending stresses during drilling. Over time, these forces can lead to galling, thread wear, box swelling, and fatigue cracking, which compromise the integrity of the entire drill string. Through our specialized services, including stabilizer repair & refurbishment – by Stung Tun (Oil & Gas Equipment Maintenance), we ensure your assets maintain peak performance and reliability.

Our Expertise Covers:

  • Thread Inspection & Gauging – Using calibrated pitch diameter tools to detect wear, deformation, and loss of interference fit.

  • Magnetic Particle Inspection (MPI) – Detecting surface and subsurface cracks in pin and box ends.

  • Remedial Machining & Re-cutting – Restoring thread profiles and sealing shoulders to OEM or API Spec 7-2 standards.

  • Torque Verification & Breakout Analysis – Ensuring proper make-up torque and identifying signs of over-torque or improper assembly.

  • Protective Coating & Thread Compound Application – Minimizing galling and corrosion during make-up and break-out cycles.

  • General Repair Services – Comprehensive solutions to extend the lifespan of your drilling and oilfield tools.
