Hcoaha nice. I was in lockup with a guy that was headed to prison for six years over stealing some drillpipe. Scrapvalue he got about 500 bucks. The value of it not as scrap but as drillpipe was MUCH higher hence the six years.



All oilfield companies here recycle but only when its super beat up and not useable. But if you're in the business of repairing wellheads and batteries and get in with your lease operater(pumper) a couple busted valves or segments of schedule 80 pipe won't hurt them too bad and keeps their contractor(me) happy as hell to be cranking on a pipe wrench. Getting scrap from a drilling rig besides a random collar or nipple is unheard of though and sadly I'm now going to be in the business of rig moves and gin poles
