we know oilfield materials

 The oilpatch can be a tough place for metals.  High pressures, elevated temperatures, and corrosive media can cause many materials to fail in service, often with expensive consequences.  With more than 40 years of oilfield experience, we can help you select the optimum materials for your application.  

Oilfield materials encompass a wide range of alloys from carbon and low alloy steels to stainless steels to exotic superalloys.   Material selection is a complex process based on many factors including:

• Oil and gas analyses with temperature, pressure, H2S and CO2 content, chloride levels, and more.
• Minimum strength levels based on engineering requirements.
• Impact toughness at the service temperature.
• Weldability, machinability and other fabrication properties.
• Compliance with NACE, API, and customer requirements.
• Material cost and availability.
• And more!

This is no job for the unexperienced  – the risk is great and the stakes are high.  Let us help you make winning trim choices for your specific application.  We can also provide guidance on coatings,  hardfacing, and other material options.  Click below to contact us today with any oilfield metallurgy questions.
