1. An improved process for joining tubular goods to create a tubular assembly comprising:
positioning a first tubular good onto a section of a three-section conveyor;
positioning a second tubular good onto an another section of said three-section conveyor;
moving said first and second tubulars together so said first and second tubulars meet within a torque unit located between the two sections of said three-section conveyor;
engaging said torque unit to torque said first tubular to said second tubular to form a tubular assembly; and
wherein said joining process occurs at an inland facility.
