Brief presentation of INCDIE ICPE‑CA

The group designs and performs:
basic fundamental research for the development of machinery construction mechanics as well as
for drilling and production equipment engineering;
applicative research for achieving products able to promote new techniques and technologies in
the area of drilling‑extraction activities, but also for developing and improving oilfield techniques
and equipment;
research and design of equipment intended to implement new technologies for directional and
horizontal drilling;
research, design and assimilation of equipment and systems for the drilling rigs ecologisation;
research and design of specific equipment for the geological prospecting of useful solid minerals
deposits;
research regarding the increasing of oil recovery factor and for estimating / applying some modern
solutions for the new oil deposits exploitation;
research in order to assimilate new types of geologic and hydro geologic drilling rigs;
modern cinematic schemes and redesigning of drilling‑production equipment, mechanisms and
machineries based on the manufacturers and the market requirements, in order to increase drilling
and extraction activities productivity;
modern cinematic schemes and redesigning of wells repairing rigs fitted on self‑propelled or trailed
vehicles, imposed by the customers, in order to increase the overhauling operations productivity at
oil wells reparations;
designing of metallic structures and constructions for various destinations;
mechanization solutions for driving operations in order to increase the drilling rigs efficiency and
safety;
designing of new water drilling rigs that allow water resources recovery from the drinking waters
resources by using several drilling methods;
modern solutions which apply new pumping technologies for oil extraction, by using deep helical
pumps;
projects for modernization of the high‑depth and high hydraulic power fracturing‑stimulating
equipments, in order to increase the oil recovery factor;
evaluation of pollution and hazard factors at drilling‑extraction operations and establishing of
ecologisation technologies/equipment for the lands contaminated with residues and petroleum
products in oil facilities and refineries;
drawings using specialized software CAD (AUTOCAD, INVENTOR, SOLIDWORKS);
modelling and assessing the charge level for load‑bearing metallic structures by using the Finite
Element Method ‑ Visual Nastran for Windows (IPCUP Ploiesti performed such a modelling and
charge state assessing for the metallic structures of off‑shore platforms in the Black Sea belonging
to OMV, as part of the expertize operation);
design of drilling and production equipment according to international standards API, ISO, CEN;
studies and researches regarding the assimilation of complex systems for control and command of
drilling process parameters;
projects to adapt measuring and control devices on drilling rigs;
projects for lifting equipment repairing;
designing of metallic structures for off‑shore drilling and production activities;
designing of equipment for exploitation of oil and gas deposits under natural obstacles;
elaboration of standards, normative and recommendations regarding oilfield equipment
manufacturing and utilization;
elaboration of strategies and prognosis based on assessments and harmonization with technical
and quality requirements of the European Union;
IPCUP participates at the accomplishment of the specific objectives of the strategic program for
the development of Romania’s energetic resources;
dissemination of the European Council Directives transposed in Romanian legislation and, in this
regard, improvement of professional skills of managers and specialists in energetic industry.
