QA/QC is an indispensable tool in well operations: it prevents equipment-related non-productive time and avoids expensive delays to drilling. Given the cost of rig NPT, the cost of QA/QC is small compared with the risk of equipment reaching the rig site without being fully checked against the appropriate standards.
