NTS-Leader history

In 1989, Noyabrsk was established Neftetruboservis (NTS) - Research and Development enterprise on the basis of the West-Siberian branch VNIITneft. Neftetruboservis' approach for the tubing repair was significantly different from the conventional - the emphasis was placed on the resource-saving tubing repair technology, technological-process automation and the establishment of mobile plants for tubing repair.

In 1990 in pipe control shop Kogalymneftegas new technologies were introduced. In 1995, NTS company was founded and in 1996 NTS-1 - first automated mobile plant for tubing repair was designed, manufactured and put into operation .The launching of this plant was the event in the industry for several reasons:

  • the first time providing services to oil company has been entrusted not its own units, but to independent service company;
  • NTS-1 was the first automated plant for tubing repair in Russian history;
  • a new resource-saving technology for tubing repair has been proposed;
  • for the first time tubing repair has been produced directly on the oilfield using mobile plant.

In 1999, NTS-Leader company was registered and began its modern development.
