Oil and Gas Precision Machining

Oil and Gas Precision Machining demands accuracy, repeatability, and zero guesswork. At Roberson Machine Company, we combine advanced precision CNC machining with strict process control to deliver parts that hold up in the most demanding conditions—whether they’re heading downhole, offshore, or into high-pressure pipeline systems.

We manufacture critical components with speed and care, supporting every stage of production—from early design through final inspection. Here’s what you’ll find below:

• Oil and gas precision machining requires tighter specs, tougher materials, and more process control than standard industrial work.
• We’ll look at the types of parts that benefit most from oil and gas precision machining—and where failure simply isn’t an option.
• You’ll also see how our team approaches oil and gas precision machining with the speed, care, and quality your project demands.

What Is Oil and Gas Precision Machining?

Oil and gas precision machining involves the production of mission-critical components built to perform in harsh, unforgiving environments. These parts are used in drilling, refining, and transportation systems where reliability isn’t optional.

Oil and gas components often face:

• High operating pressures
• Corrosive fluids and gases
• Extreme heat and temperature swings
• Constant vibration and mechanical shock
• Particulate exposure

Roberson Machine Company provides CNC machining services specifically suited to these demands. Our equipment, programming, and inspection workflows are built to handle complex geometries, tough materials, and aggressive production schedules—without compromising quality.

Common Oil and Gas Components We Machine

Our shop produces precision-machined parts used across drilling systems, pump skids, pipeline infrastructure, and refining equipment. Whether you’re sourcing parts for new builds or managing ongoing maintenance cycles, we can deliver repeatable quality with short lead times.

• Valve bodies, seats, and stems
• Flanges and couplings
• Pump housings, impellers, and liners
• Blowout preventer parts and sealing systems
• Downhole tool components
• Manifolds and pressure fittings
• Custom bushings, adapters, and spacers

We can machine components to print, support reverse engineering for legacy parts, or help refine your design for production. Let us know what you need machined.

Types of Precision Machining We Use

Once specs are approved, our team uses a range of advanced CNC machining capabilities to produce oil and gas parts—efficiently, accurately, and with consistent quality. We’re equipped to handle everything from large structural components to small, high-detail features.

Machining Capabilities

• 3-, 4-, and 5-Axis CNC Milling: Ideal for creating complex geometries, angled features, and pocketing in a single setup.
• CNC Turning: Produces concentric, cylindrical parts like bushings, shafts, and couplings with speed and precision.
• Wire EDM: Perfect for intricate shapes, tight internal clearances, and hard materials like Inconel or Hastelloy.

Supporting Processes

• CAD/CAM Programming: Simulates and optimizes toolpaths before material is cut—saving time and improving accuracy.
• Robotics and Automation: Reduces cycle times and improves consistency across mid- to high-volume runs.
• In-Process and Final Inspection: Every part is measured and validated using calibrated CMMs, gauges, and inspection tools.

Together, these machining services and processes help us meet the performance and reliability standards oil and gas projects demand.

Rapid Prototyping Capabilities

Our rapid prototyping capabilities allow us to turn concept into reality fast—especially useful for oil and gas parts that require field testing or quick design validation. By integrating CAD and CAM workflows, we can iterate designs, test functionality, and identify improvements before full-scale production begins.

We also offer value-added services—including part marking, assembly, and packaging—to help streamline your supply chain. Get in touch to talk through your next project.

Materials We Work With for Oil and Gas Machining

We work with metals and polymers commonly specified in oilfield and energy applications—each chosen for its performance in harsh conditions. Here’s a quick look at some of the materials we machine and where they’re typically used:

Built-In Quality From First Cut to Final Inspection

Every part we produce is subject to in-process checks and final dimensional validation using calibrated inspection equipment. Our quality workflow is designed to prevent surprises—on your drawings, on our machines, and in the field.

• Programmed inspection points built into toolpaths
• First article and in-process checks on critical features
• Final inspection using CMMs, gauges, and visual documentation
• Documentation and traceability support available on request

We don’t cut corners. You get exactly what you spec—built to perform where it matters most.
