Performance For

OIL&GAS

Extends operating range
Improves predictive performance
Reduces operating cost & downtime
Provides traceability and reliability
Withstands extreme environments
Boosts production optimization
Enhances oil production and recovery

Seals

Double the life of your sealing system

Sealing systems are among the most critical components of equipment operating in extreme environments such as those found in the oil and gas industry. Demands for high performance, reliability and traceability are driving oilfield tool manufacturers to replace incumbent materials such as PTFE and PPS with certified and predictable material solutions such as VICTREX PEEK, that can best survive continuous high pressures, offer better fatigue performance and provide stable properties over demanding operating conditions.

VICTREX PEEK offers a simple solution to existing seal extrusion problems and demanding environmental requirements, in both static and dynamic applications, providing long-term toughness and chemical durability in versatile temperature and pressure ranges.

Benefits & Features

Proven performance and predictable service life
300 times more creep resistance at HPHT in comparison with fluoropolymers
Mechanical sealing expertise underpinned by 30 years of success in the industry
Reduced wear and risk of damage
Design freedom with process versatility

Connectors

Proven electrical integrity for HPHT

Retrieving oil from deeper, unconventional reserves, and even traditional reservoirs with enhanced oil recovery techniques means higher pressures and temperatures and an urgency to safeguard power and data transmission at all times. Durability in use and handling, dimensional stability and proven, robust electrical insulation are critical to avoid costly interruptions and downtime.

VICTREX PEEK has been successfully utilized for transmission of both power and data between the operating environment and the surface as it offers consistent dielectric properties in extreme environments, moisture and chemical resistance, and toughness for ease of installation outperforming glass, ceramics, epoxy and metal composite.

Benefits & Features

Proven robust electrical insulation for HPHT
Improved shock and vibration resistance versus glass connectors
Withstands chemicals and differential pressure fluctuations
Hermetically seals to connector elements
Double the power capacity versus glass-ceramic connectors

Wire & Cable

Durable electrical insulation

VICTREX PEEK polymer is used in a range of wire and cable coating, extruded sheath and slot liner applications in many downhole tools for its unique combination of high temperature, electrical and mechanical properties. Single-layer extrusion coatings of VICTREX PEEK can replace multi-layer film wraps without any need for adhesives. VICTREX PEEK has inherent moisture stability and high surface hardness for abrasion and cut resistance to prevent shorts for long term electrical continuity in service.

When a film is required, then APTIV^® films, made with VICTREX PEEK polymer, offer a unique combination of properties in a thin film format. APTIV film is more versatile and moisture stable than polyimide with many secondary process capabilities providing engineers and designers with an unrivaled material solution for achieving enhanced product performance, ease of processing, reduced systems cost, increased functionality, improved design freedom, and product differentiation.

Benefits & Features

Thermal endurance extends life in HPHT environments
Abrasion and cut resistance enables thinner insulation
Reduced risk of electrical shorts (no pinholes)
Ease of processing and design flexibility
No need for adhesives

Pipes

High performance in harsh environments

VICTREX Pipes™, manufactured from VICTREX PEEK polymer for use in the oil and gas industry, provide enhanced performance in operating conditions where a combination of high temperature, chemical, permeation and corrosion resistance together with excellent wear and abrasion resistance are key requirements.

Offering extended service life, maintenance, downtime and weight reduction as well as reduced deployment costs in deep water environments, Victrex polymer pipes are replacing existing pipe technologies and delivering performance and cost benefits to exploration and production companies worldwide.

Benefits & Features

Reduced well operating costs associated with tubing corrosion failures
Excellent fatigue resistance and durability
Lightweight for reduced deployment costs
Chemically resistant to harsh oilfield operating conditions
Permeability resistance

High performance in harsh environments

VICTREX^® PEEK polymers support extended exploration and boost production optimization.

As global oil demand continues to rise with finite resources, there is a growing need for enhanced oil recovery methods to produce more from conventional reserves with high pressure and temperature (HPHT) environments as well as technical innovation to unlock vast unconventional resources. In these increasingly harsh environments, choosing the wrong material for seals and connectors may result in premature failures and costly downtime valued between $100,000 to $1,000,000 per day.

VICTREX PEEK polymer has proven performance in extreme oilfield environments offering more than twice the performance life for downhole tools and wellhead equipment. Seal back-up rings and electrical connectors made with VICTREX PEEK have a continuous use temperature range of ‑60C to 260C with a pressure rating of up to 30,000psi and they can withstand a wide variety of oil and gas fluids and sour gas exposure. Join the leading global Oil Service Companies that have relied on safe, proven, predictable VICTREX PEEK for over 30 years in their critical oil and gas applications.
