MCR Oil Tools: Phmsa certifies safe thermal technology!

Texas, USA - On June 13, 2025, MCR Oil Tools announced that the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PhMSA) approved the non -dangerous transport of their radial cutting torches (RCT) on a thermal base. This decision follows a lengthy legal discussion and confirms the security of MCR technology, which is used worldwide when cutting oil drill pipes on land and in the deep sea. MCR obtained this permit after the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals annuled the arbitrary classification of the RCT as a "explosive", which had been based on complaints of competitors, ignored the factual evidence, including the test results from the thermal study of the PhMSA itself.

The approval of the PHMSA is an important step for MCR that has been producing modern cutting systems for the pipe mountain industry since 1993 and is largely dependent on the RCT in the event of a large part of its turnover. CEO Mike Robertson commented on the decision and emphasized the major security balance of the company, which was unable to record any security incidents in over 40 years. MCR plans to continue to rely on the legal developments and the decision of the Fifth Circuit to take action against the unjustified classification.

context of approval

The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals referred the classification of Thermit tools back to PhMSA in October 2024. This original classification had led to considerable delays in shipping and increased the administrative costs for both MCR and for the entire oil and gas industry. The PhMSA now recognizes the safe nature of the technology used by MCR, which is intended to significantly simplify sales of oil and gas producers worldwide.

The importance of safety regulations in the oil and gas industry cannot be emphasized enough. Oil platforms are large systems associated with numerous dangers. The industry has high injury and death rates, which makes effective risk management essential. The most common dangers on oil drilling islands include fire and explosion risk, chemical exposure, as well as physical dangers from heavy machines and extreme weather conditions.

risk management and security standards

In order to increase safety on oil platforms, emergency sequences and regular inspections are necessary. Compliance with safety regulations is also crucial. The British Health and Safety Executive (HSE), for example, regulates offshore oil and gas production in Great Britain, while international guidelines set requirements for security management systems.

In addition, technological progress, such as remote monitoring systems, can contribute to managing risk. Offshore cooling containers have established themselves as an effective solution to ensure the safe transport of oil and gas products and reduce the risk of explosions or fires. Jason Tan, the business director of MGS Icestorm, has over 13 years of experience in the shipping industry and contributed to the development of modern offshore cooling container products.

The latest developments in the approval of the RCT from MCR OIL TOOLS are exemplary for the need for transparency and well -founded decisions in the area of ​​security regulation. With an impressive security balance and a clear strategy to combat false accusations, MCR is well positioned to master the challenges of the industry.
