Tungsten carbide is widely used in the oil industry

Drilling field

• Drill bit manufacturing

• Tungsten Carbide has high hardness and strong wear resistance.Tungsten carbide wear parts The drill bits made of it can effectively break rocks and improve drilling efficiency. For example, when drilling in hard and abrasive formations, the drill bit life and footage are far superior to traditional drill bits.

• Good thermal stability. In the high temperature environment of drilling, it can still maintain good hardness and cutting performance to ensure stable operation of the drill bit.

• Low friction coefficient with rock can reduce the adhesion between the drill bit and the rock, prevent the drill bit from mud packing, and make the drilling process smoother.

• Stabilizer wear-resistant parts: The stabilizer is used to maintain the stability of the drill tool during the drilling process. The tungsten carbide wear-resistant coating on its surface or the embedded tungsten carbide block can enhance wear resistance and corrosion resistance, extend the service life of the stabilizer, reduce the number of trips, and improve drilling efficiency.

Oil production field

• Oil pump parts: Tungsten carbide wear parts Oil pumps work underground for a long time and are susceptible to sand wear and corrosion. Its plunger, valve ball and valve seat and other parts are coated with tungsten carbide or inlaid with tungsten carbide, which can improve the wear resistance and corrosion resistance of the parts, reduce wear, improve pump efficiency, and reduce maintenance costs and operation times.

• Submersible electric pump impeller: Submersible electric pumps are used for deep well oil production, and the impeller is a key component. Tungsten carbide impellers are wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant, and can maintain good dynamic balance under high-speed rotation, improve the efficiency and reliability of the pump, extend its service life, and adapt to complex oil well conditions.

Reservoir transformation field

• Hydraulic fracturing tools: In hydraulic fracturing, tools such as spray guns and nozzles need to withstand the scouring and wear of high-speed sand-containing fluids. Tungsten carbide has high hardness and wear resistance, which can improve the wear resistance and erosion resistance of these tools, ensure that the tools work normally under harsh conditions of high pressure and high sand ratio, and improve the fracturing effect
