Low-Friction /Anti-Corrosion Oil Tubing

DESCRIPTION / APPLICATION

Low-friction oil tubing allows for significant drag reduction when running in hole and mitigates issues associated with tight tolerances. This product is made available by the electro-deposition of a corrosion-resistant, low-friction,wear-resistant layer bonded at the atomic level onto the surface of conventional oil tubing. This cobalt-based formula has been utilized extensively in the aerospace industry by its developer, Honeywell, and is now available for O&G applications. The electro-depositional layer does not have any holes or microcracks, has a high bonding strength and outshines the competition in regards to anti-corrosion properties. Drilling and completion engineers will take on a new perspective when designing their drilling and completions programs.

OPERATION

When the low-friction oil tubing is used, the existing tubing tongs may need to be replaced with new proprietary low-friction counterparts. This solution offers proper makeup to achieve the smallest surface resistance downhole.

CHARACTERISTICS

1. Anti-Corrosion: the electroplating is not porous which can effectively prevent the corrosion by hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide, it also has excellent anti-corrosion properties in environments containing chloride ions
2. Wear Resistance: the electroplating is very durable and protects the tubing from wear
3. Lower Friction Coefficient: in the same mud environment, the friction coefficient is less than tubing that hasn't been treated with our proprietary coating , this reduces the running resistance, increases the running depth and prolongs the service life

FEATURES/BENEFITS

1. Designed for tight tolerance scenarios in corrosive environments
2. When RIH, the drag is reduced significantly
3. Suitable for various H2S, CO2 and other corrosive environments
4. Greatly increased service life of conventional tubing
