Assurance and Integrity in Upstream Operations
The upstream oil and gas sector—spanning exploration, drilling, and production—presents some of the highest technical and operational risks in industry. Ensuring integrity of drilling assets, verifying reservoir quality, and maintaining safe wellsite operations are critical to performance and environmental protection.
BQCIS delivers comprehensive inspection, testing, and certification services supporting the full Exploration & Production (E&P) lifecycle. From mud and core analysis to equipment integrity inspection and reservoir fluid characterization, our services comply with leading standards (API, ISO) and client specifications.
Through impartial verification and laboratory testing, BQCIS ensures equipment reliability, data accuracy, and safe upstream performance—onshore and offshore.
Core Exploration & Production Services
Key Benefits of Exploration & Production Assurance

Optimized Operational Efficiency
Onsite analytical testing provides rapid data feedback to guide drilling parameters and reduce non-productive time.
Regulatory & API Compliance
Ensures full conformity with global upstream standards and local oilfield regulatory frameworks.
Improved Safety & Risk Management
Mitigates mechanical and process risks through structured inspection, certification, and data-driven oversight.
Success Story
NDT Inspection Prevents Downhole Failure of Drill Pipe
An offshore operator required validation of used drill pipe integrity before a deepwater high-pressure drilling campaign. Fatigue cracks posed severe well-control risk.
BQCIS performed comprehensive magnetic particle and ultrasonic testing (MT/UT) on tubulars per API guidelines. Defective joints were tagged and isolated under third-party supervision, and full documentation was issued for audit traceability.
Multiple latent cracks were detected and removed, preventing catastrophic downhole failure. The operator avoided costly downtime and reinforced its compliance standing with international safety authorities.
