I joined Wikipedia because I saw such a lack of information when it comes to the oilfield and I felt that of all information resources that are available to the public that Wikipedia would be a reliable source of information of oilfield information. So, I suppose my question is how do I create a new topic? Case in point, how would I make a Page with information on Safety Clamps?

To answer your question: the guide to writing Your First Article, and the links from it, should tell you most of what you need to know; and the WP:Tutorial is worth spending some time on. Extra advice - take some time to make sure your proposed subject is not already covered - if it is, it's better to add information to an existing article than to start a new, parallel one; and note particularly the importance of ensuring that what you add is verifiable from reliable sources.
