    Casing or tubing thread protectors

AER oilfield waste code.

Thread protectors taken off casing & tubing before it is run. They are caps of plastic or steel that guard pipe threads.

Is Alberta THPROT hazardous waste?

Not from the code alone. Alberta THPROT is casing or tubing thread protectors in the AER oilfield-waste system. The waste must come from upstream facilities, wells or pipelines on that route. The code doesn’t say whether it is dangerous oilfield waste.

Dangerous oilfield waste stays on the AER route within Alberta and needs no Alberta hazardous-waste manifest unless it leaves Alberta. Record the AER code in the oilfield waste information. A regulated export also needs the federal movement assessment, and a generic industrial category doesn’t replace the AER code.

What does Alberta THPROT cover?

Casing or tubing thread protectors. The code names the stream for the AER system. Its actual composition and properties still decide whether it is dangerous and how it is handled.

Is casing or tubing thread protectors always Alberta THPROT?

CodeWhen it fits
THPROTThe waste comes from the AER upstream oilfield route and is this material.
