The latest production methods in the oil & gas industry are placing increasingly severe levels of stress on equipment. The production tools are required to last anywhere from ten to twenty years in extreme operating conditions that include higher temperatures and pressures. In addition, the latest techniques such as measurement while drilling (MWD), logging while drilling (LWD), and wireline systems can involve critical electronic data transmission so the reliability of the tooling is imperative.

VICTREX PEEK polymer is proving to be capable of answering these new challenges. A case in point is VICTREX PEEK 450G, which exceeds the NORSOK M710 specification with an H2S concentration ten times that required for compliance with the standard. The thermoplastic also demonstrates superior resistance to harsh and corrosive chemicals which are often responsible for production delays.

Going forward, unconventional drilling sites that require the use of high-performance antenna and logging sleeves will only serve to emphasize the need to use VICTREX PEEK-based composite materials. The many advantages of these composites over metals include high strength, stiffness and reduced weight.

VICTREX PEEK-based composites typically weigh 40% less than aluminum, 55% less than titanium, and 70% less than steel. The immediate benefits are easier installation and faster, more efficient operation. Add to these advantages low thermal expansion, which can be one sixth that of steel. Together with the polymer's overall dimensional stability, this expansion rate enables tighter tolerances that support precision manufacturing.

In addition, VICTREX PEEK-based composites can combine high electrical resistivity with low electromagnetic interference (EMI) making them suitable for well logging tools that require composite structures reinforced with fiber. Thermoplastic composites have proven to be more durable in high pressure/high temperature (HP/HT) applications or wherever high chemical resistance is required compared to thermosets.
