In the oil, gas, and energy sectors, API 20E-compliant bolting isn’t just about fasteners—it’s about safety, uptime, and meeting the strictest industry regulations. From offshore platforms to midstream pipelines and refinery turnarounds, the stakes are high—and every detail matters.
That’s where NP Energy comes in.
With deep technical expertise, a streamlined procurement process, and a customer-first approach, NP Energy has earned a reputation as a trusted partner for API 20E bolting solutions. But don’t just take our word for it—the results speak for themselves.
This article shares several real-world client success stories that highlight how NP Energy delivers value, solves complex challenges, and supports critical projects through best-in-class bolting supply.
An international offshore drilling contractor was facing a shutdown on a subsea BOP (blowout preventer) installation due to missing PSL 3-certified bolting. Their original supplier had overpromised on lead times and failed to deliver fully compliant fasteners with the required documentation. The rig was at risk of significant downtime—costing hundreds of thousands of dollars per day.
NP Energy was called in as a last-minute alternative. Their team:
The rig avoided extended downtime and passed inspection on time. The client praised NP Energy for “saving the project” and has since integrated them into their standard vendor list for critical equipment fasteners.
A midstream construction firm building a 250-mile pipeline across the Southwest was struggling with delays and confusion due to loose, bulk shipments of bolting materials. Field crews were wasting valuable time sorting, inspecting, and matching bolts to flanges—resulting in errors, lost parts, and mounting labor costs.
NP Energy collaborated with the contractor’s procurement and engineering teams to:
The field crews reported a 30% reduction in installation time, with zero material errors. The client also improved QA/QC traceability and documentation for their final turnover packages. NP Energy now supports their maintenance team with similar kits for MRO use.
A major global EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) firm managing a scheduled refinery turnaround in the Gulf Coast region required PSL 2 bolting in multiple sizes and grades. Their challenge: sourcing compliant materials within a tight two-week window—and with complete traceability for refinery inspection teams.
NP Energy provided:
The refinery completed its turnaround on schedule, passing inspection without a single documentation deficiency. NP Energy’s speed and accuracy earned the EPC’s confidence, resulting in a long-term supply contract for their maintenance operations.
A U.S.-based energy company launching a hydrogen pilot plant required API 20E PSL 2 bolting—but with an added twist: the fasteners had to be made from Inconel 718, due to the high-temperature, high-pressure environment within hydrogen compressors. Their previous vendor had no experience sourcing this material to API 20E standards.
NP Energy’s technical team:
The hydrogen unit was commissioned on time, and the client was able to fulfill both technical and ESG-related documentation for regulators and funding agencies. NP Energy has since become a key partner as the company expands into clean energy.
A Texas-based fabrication yard serving offshore equipment OEMs was consistently delayed during final QA checks due to incomplete or missing bolting documentation. MTRs were arriving late, test records were disorganized, and project deadlines were being missed.
NP Energy implemented a streamlined approach:
The fabrication team reduced QA closeout time by 40% and passed all third-party inspections on the first attempt. They credited NP Energy with making bolting documentation “one less thing to worry about.”
An international oil and gas operator managing multiple platforms in West Africa needed a long-term, reliable supply of API 20E PSL 2 bolting to support maintenance across compressors, valves, and pressure control systems. Their current vendor had inconsistent lead times and fluctuating quality.
NP Energy proposed a strategic supply program:
The operator now receives on-demand access to compliant bolting, without delays or rework. They’ve reduced emergency air freight shipments by 80% and improved inspection scores across all platforms.
An LNG facility undergoing an expansion project contacted NP Energy with concerns about flange bolting torque specs and whether the bolts on order would meet corrosion-resistance requirements in a coastal environment.
NP Energy:
The client avoided a potentially expensive rework scenario and installed bolting assemblies with complete confidence. NP Energy’s fast response and engineering guidance reinforced their reputation as a technical partner, not just a supplier.
Across every success story, several key themes emerge—what sets NP Energy apart:
From PSL 1 to PSL 3, NP Energy understands API 20E inside and out. Clients rely on their guidance for materials, coatings, inspection, and performance.
NP Energy ensures complete, organized, and audit-ready documents—MTRs, CoCs, NDT reports—so clients pass inspections the first time.
Whether it’s flange kits, exotic materials, or custom packaging, NP Energy tailors each order to the project’s needs.
With in-stock inventory, strong manufacturer relationships, and expedited logistics, NP Energy keeps projects on track—even under pressure.
Clients receive responsive service, clear communication, and a partner that sees beyond the PO.
