Oil & Gas

As the world’s demands for energy increase, so does the need to access harder to reach and higher impurity oil and gas reserves. In these cases higher temperatures, pressures and concentrations of corrosive gasses like hydrogen sulfide H2S are pushing the limits of conventional materials.

Furthermore, oil well stimulation plays a vital role in the production and operations of oil wells. Using hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, acetic acid, formic acid and other acid solutions for well stimulation Tantaline® can provide a variety of valves and specialty fittings suitable for the most aggressive and high pressure conditions in any environment.
 

As solutions are injected into the wells the waste effluents also need to be treated in many cases. These oil well effluents can be aggressive and if specialty metals like titanium or nickel alloys are required, Tantaline represents a higher performing alternative that should be considered.  
 

In the oil industry, production uptime is critical and therefore product performance and product availability are essential. Compared to titanium and nickel alloys (Hastelloy) whose performance may be at the limit and product lead times are slow at best, Tantaline offers a higher performing, readily available alternative at competitive costs. Typically lead times are 3-6 weeks for custom parts.
