1. A system comprising:
a mobile platform configured to be dispatched to an oil and gas work site, wherein the mobile platform is separate from and configured to couple to a plurality of vehicles, the mobile platform comprising:
a metal powder production machine having inputs of scrap metal or spare parts from the oil and gas work site and an additional metal powder and an output of a scrap metal powder, wherein the metal powder production machine is configured to atomize the scrap metal or the spare parts via at least one of a gas atomization process, a water atomization process, a centrifugal atomization process, or a consumable electrode atomization process;
a process diagnosis machine configured to determine a chemical composition of the scrap metal powder produced by the metal powder production machine, wherein the process diagnosis machine comprises a camera, a dye pen, an x-ray imaging device, a computerized axial tomography scan device, or a powder blender, and wherein determining the chemical composition of the scrap metal powder comprises determining one or more elements that comprise the scrap metal powder and determining concentrations of the one or more elements in the scrap metal powder;
an additive manufacturing system configured to receive the scrap metal powder and output a downhole exploration and production tool configured to be used during formation of a wellbore from the oil and gas work site; and
a control system communicatively connected to the metal powder production machine and the additive manufacturing system, wherein the control system comprises a computer application executable by a computing device, and wherein the computer application, when executed by the computing device in response to receiving the chemical composition of the scrap metal powder that is determined by the process diagnosis machine, causes the computer application to:
transmit a first control signal to cause the metal powder production machine to output the scrap metal powder based at least in part on the chemical composition of the scrap metal powder that is determined by the process diagnosis machine;
transmit a second control signal to cause the additive manufacturing system to output the downhole exploration and production tool using the scrap metal powder based at least in part on the chemical composition of the scrap metal powder that is determined by the process diagnosis machine; and
transmit a third control signal to cause the process diagnosis machine to alter the chemical composition of the scrap metal powder based at least in part on the chemical composition of the scrap metal powder that is determined by the process diagnosis machine by removing at least a portion of the additional metal powder from the scrap metal powder produced by the metal powder production machine;
wherein the process diagnosis machine is further configured to perform non-destructive testing on the downhole exploration and production tool to determine whether the downhole exploration and production tool complies with one or more standards for the downhole exploration and production tool relative to downhole conditions to be experienced by the downhole exploration and production tool during formation of the wellbore, wherein compliance with the one or more standards is determined based on chemical composition of the downhole exploration and production tool, density of the downhole exploration and production tool, porosity of the downhole exploration and production tool, or homogeneity of the downhole exploration and production tool as determined by the non-destructive testing.
