Elevator links are critical to oil field and gas well operations as they are used in the lifting and lowering of drill pipes. Without these vital components, operations quickly halt.
The intermittent stresses placed on the links necessitate exceptional strength and impact resistance. Hardening with a liquid quench is used to deliver these properties. After which, straightening and de-twisting operations ensure the dimensional requirements are met for field operations.
As drilling has become more complex, with horizontal and directional drills increasing in numbers, well logging has also had to adapt and improve. Measurement-While-Drilling (or MWD) is a type of well logging that incorporates the measurement tools into the drill string and provides real-time information to help with steering the drill. Critical components in these tools require protection from wear, corrosion, and vibration. Bodycote services for these components include heat treatment, surface technology, and HIP. Typical treated parts include:
Field production equipment is mainly used in oil refineries and petroleum refineries where crude oil is processed and refined into more useful petroleum products, such as gasoline, diesel fuel, asphalt base, heating oil, kerosene, and liquefied petroleum gas. Valves, pumps and compressors form an integral part of the process and require specific coating solutions to optimise their performance.
Bodycote services for these components include heat treatment, surface technology, Kolsterising®, and HIP.
Metal to metal contact requires protection for gas tight seals capable of withstanding sliding wear in corrosive conditions at high pressure. It is critical therefore that all the components within this process perform to their maximum and allow the drilling to be efficient, cost effective and environment friendly.
Through the use of industry approved thermal processing treatments we are able to extend the life of the components by reducing the wear caused to them through abrasion, erosion and corrosion thus helping to reduce downtime. Bodycote services for these components include heat treatment, surface technology, and HIP. Typical treated parts include:
Heat exchangers play a vital role as an efficient device for the heat transfer between two fluid media. The two media may be in separate paths or be in direct contact.
Through the use of industry approved thermal processing treatments Bodycote is able to extend the life of the components by reducing the wear caused to them through abrasion, erosion and corrosion thus helping to reduce downtime. Bodycote services for these components include heat treatment, Kolsterising® surface treatment, surface spray and anti-corrosion coating technology, and Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP). Typical treated parts include:
Oil and gas customers depend upon a broad range of manual and automatic pumps to keep processing systems operating effectively. High pressure, extreme temperatures and tough environmental conditions can challenge performance. Bodycote’s solutions help protect pump integrity. Our coatings reduce friction and provide reliable erosion and corrosion resistance – ensuring pump efficiency and durability throughout your processing system. Bodycote services for these components include heat treatment, thermochemical surface treatments (plasma nitriding, Kolsterising® and carbonitriding), surface coating technology (thermal spray + ceramic densification), and Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP). Typical treated parts include:
On-shore or off-shore drilling is one of the most vital areas within the oil and gas industry, it is carried out in some of the harshest environments known to man. Therefore it’s critical that all the components within this process perform to their maximum and allow the drilling to be efficient, cost effective and environment friendly.
By the use of industry approved thermal processing treatments we are able to extend the life of the down-hole drilling rotors by reducing the wear caused to them through abrasion, erosion and corrosion. Bodycote services for these components include heat treatment, surface technology, and HIP. Typical treated parts include:
Oil and gas customers depend upon a broad range of manual and automatic valves to keep processing systems operating effectively. High pressure, extreme temperatures and tough environmental conditions can challenge performance. Bodycote solutions help protect valve integrity. Our coatings reduce friction and provide reliable erosion and corrosion resistance – ensuring valve efficiency and durability throughout your processing system.
Bodycote services for these components include heat treatment, surface treatments (plasma nitriding, Kolsterising®) surface technology (thermal spray coatings and polymer PEEK low friction surfaces using Bodycote’s Tech100 process), and Hot Isostatic pressing (HIP).
