Quality

The main role of our quality department is to ensure that NORRIS CHAMPIONX standards and company policies are followed.

We make sure that the goals set in previous stages are carried out within the established deadlines and with the resources that have been assigned. To achieve this, we rely on highly trained human capital committed to this mission and a Quality Management System that meets the requirements established for the oil industry. All our products are manufactured according to the most demanding quality standards and comply with API specification 11B. As Norris manufactures products using the latest technology and is a World Class Manufacturer, we can guarantee our commitment to quality.

In our state-of-the-art laboratory, tests and quality controls are carried out at each stage of the process.

As a standard procedure, we apply the following controls, based on API specifications 11B and Q1:

  • Dimension verification of raw material.
  • Control of chemical properties
  • Visual inspection and straightening.
  • Mechanical test (traction) to verify mechanical properties
  • Fatigue tests
  • Shot peening: Complying with NORRIS standards, we apply the NOR PEENING ® process to each rod to maximize the life of components subjected to fatigue during oil pumping.
  • Control of machined threads in accordance with standard requirements
  • Dimension verification of our product after transformation processes (forging and machining).

We take care of directing the different initiatives of continuous improvement that may arise at all organization levels, promoting interaction between the different teams that participate in the processes and emphasizing that each member should be aware of the part they play in the company and know the role of all other collaborators.

In addition, we deal with the administration of documents related to the quality processes and legal and juridical frameworks that support them, including elements such as risk analysis, verification actions and audits, among others.

ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT

We are a startup that is defined by its motivation and its ability to identify an opportunity and take advantage of it, and we understood that the results achieved in the supply of lifting components in the US and other oil-producing countries should be available for operators and companies that produce oil and gas in Argentina.

We achieve this by being bold, flexible and open when making changes, following our intuition and drawing on the experience of the world’s leading company in the manufacture of oil lifting equipment
