RE: casing and tubing
I wish I could have made a sililar inquire 35 yr ago.
The major oil cos will generally know what they want . But for the others get familiar with : the hundreds of connections, the trade-off between strength and toughness and SCC resistance, the pros and cons of various NDE methods, pros and cons of ERW vs seamless. The four failure modes;burst,collapse,tensile and buckle. Learn the jargon, eg. tie back, scab liner, liner, get glossary from SPE, and IDCA (go to their annual meet in Netherlands). Expandable liners, coil tubing (a few modes). Then look up some SPE papers to see what current problems are.

RE: casing and tubing
Google the company you have the interview with, and companies in the same industry. What do they do? What kind of design and engineering do ME's do? Blacksmith gave you some general topics to think about, and there are thousands of others, so you need a good sound knowledge of fundamental engineering subjects which you should have gotten in school and through experience. Then, know some specifics about the company, as it generally impresses them that you cared enough to have some idea of who they are and what they do. You must be interviewing for some specific job or area or department, that should give you some hints as to areas of discussion.
RE: casing and tubing
Find out if they manufacture welded or seamless tubing and/or casing (or both). Then google or othewise research the machinery required to do what ever process they use.
Find out about welding machinery and induction heating equipment.
Find out about conveying equipment and lifting machinery; cranes, etc.
If they melt their own steel, find out about pollution control equipment; bag houses, dampers, actuators, etc.

But my question I believe is still relevant. If he asked the questions he should be asking here, he might get some real answers.

Not to say that anyone fully understands all that crap.

They are a smaller size service company, not Big Red (Halliburton), Big Blue (Schlumberger) or the much lesser other guy (Baker-Hughes). Sounds more like a tonging company or NDT inspection service.
But if you come around my shop and ask questions like the one posed, I'd probably skid you. It should be fairly obvious what role a Mechanical Engineer, professional or otherwise, would perform in a company.
