Arc Inspection Services supports Permian Basin upstream, midstream, and pipeline operations in Midland with certified non-destructive testing — available 24/7 for construction, turnarounds, and integrity assessments.

Serving the Permian Basin

Midland's NDT Partner for Permian Basin Operations

Midland sits at the center of the Permian Basin, the most productive oilfield in the United States. The sheer volume of pipeline construction, facility fabrication, and compression station build-out in this region demands inspection services capable of operating in remote locations under tight field schedules. Arc Inspection Services has been a consistent presence in West Texas for decades, supporting drilling contractors, midstream operators, and pipeline EPC firms across the basin.

Our Midland-area work spans wellsite separator fabrication, gas treating and compression facilities, crude oil gathering systems, and interstate pipeline tie-ins. We perform radiographic testing on pipeline girth welds to API 1104, ultrasonic testing for heavy-wall fittings and flanges, and magnetic particle testing for structural and lifting equipment welds — all with licensed, certified personnel.

We are ISNetworld, PEC Safety, and Veriforce certified, meeting the contractor safety management requirements of the major Permian Basin operators including Chevron, Pioneer, ConocoPhillips, and Diamondback affiliates.
