Urethane Products use in Oil & Gas Industry
Polyurethane elastomer products are popular in the oil and gas industry. Thanks to their unique performance advantages, these products are used in different stages of exploration, production, and transportation.
We provide durable and reliable urethane products and solutions for this industry. From drilling to subsea operations, these offerings contribute to the industry’s efficient and safe functioning.
Oil and Gas Urethane Products Example
Drill Bit Components- Urethane elastomers parts (polyurethane stabbing guides also known as polyurethane centralizers, tubing stabbing guides, casing stabbing guides and drill pipe stabbing guides) provide shock absorption, reducing the impact on the drill bit during the drilling process. This helps to prevent premature wear and damage to the drill bit, increasing its lifespan and efficiency. the seals and gaskets made of urethane elastomers in drill bits ensure a tight fit, preventing the leakage of drilling fluids and maintaining the integrity of the drilling operation.
Mud Pumps- urethane elastomer diaphragms and valves are commonly used. The diaphragms are flexible yet durable, capable of withstanding the high - pressure pulses generated by the pumps. They help to transfer the drilling mud effectively, while the valves made of urethane elastomers control the flow of the mud. Their chemical resistance protects them from the corrosive nature of the drilling mud, ensuring reliable pump operation.
Urethane Products Application for Production Facilities
Pipeline Seals and Gaskets - Urethane elastomer seals and gaskets are used at pipe joints and connections for preventing leaks in oil and gas pipelines. The high - strength and flexibility of urethane elastomers allow them to form a tight seal, even in the presence of vibrations and temperature variations. They can resist the pressure of the flowing oil and gas, as well as the chemical attack from the substances within the pipelines.
Pump and Valve Components- Pumps and valves in production facilities often incorporate urethane elastomer parts. The impellers and seals of pumps made from urethane elastomers offer excellent wear resistance. This is important as the continuous flow of oil and gas can cause abrasion. In valves, urethane elastomer seats and stems ensure smooth operation and tight shut - off, reducing the risk of product loss and potential safety hazards.
Custom Urethane Parts for Oil and Gas Industry
Reducing Downtime: Polyurethane elastomer products have a long service life. As a result, they cut down the frequency of parts replacement. This, in turn, reduces downtime in oil and gas operations and boosts overall productivity.
Cost - effectiveness : Even though polyurethane elastomer products have a higher initial cost, their long - term performance leads to cost savings. Thanks to their resistance to abrasion, corrosion, and chemicals, these products lower maintenance and replacement costs.
Chemical Resistance and Reliability: Polyurethane elastomer products can resist many chemicals present in oil and gas environments. Thus, they ensure the reliability of equipment and components during use.
In addition to the applications of oil and gas industry mentioned above. polyurethane products are also used in subsea appliactions.
Subsea Cable Protection -As in other underwater applications, urethane elastomers are used for subsea cable protection in the oil and gas industry. They form tough jackets around the cables, protecting them from mechanical damage caused by the movement of sea currents, contact with the seabed, and potential impacts from marine equipment. The chemical resistance of urethane elastomers also safeguards the cables from seawater corrosion.
Riser Protection- Subsea risers, which connect underwater production systems to surface facilities, are exposed to harsh conditions. Urethane elastomer coatings and sleeves are applied to risers to provide corrosion and abrasion protection. These coatings can withstand the high - pressure environment and the abrasive action of seawater, prolonging the lifespan of the risers and reducing maintenance costs.
We continue to develop custom urethane products to provide effective solutions for the oil and gas industry. Pulisen is located in Liyang City, Jiangsu Province, China and covers over 3,000 square meters. We can custom high quality, durable urethane parts based on your design drawings.
