SERVICING THE CUSTOMER

Oil & Gas

Industry Overview

Engineered fasteners and components used in the oil & gas industry are critical to ensuring safety, reliability, and efficiency in highly demanding environments. These components are often subject to extreme pressures, temperatures, and corrosive environments, making their design and material selection essential.

KEY FEATURES

High Strength:

Engineered fasteners must handle high loads and stresses, especially in deep-sea or high-pressure drilling environments.

Corrosion Resistance:

Materials are selected for resistance to harsh conditions, including saltwater, hydrogen sulfide, and other corrosive agents found in drilling and production environments.

Extreme Temperature Tolerance:

Fasteners are designed to perform reliably under extreme heat or cold.

Precision:

Tight tolerances ensure a secure fit and minimize risks of failure during operation.

WHEN ONLY THE BEST WILL DO

Common Applications:

Offshore and Subsea Operations: Used in risers, blowout preventers, and subsea trees.
Drilling and Exploration Equipment: Fasteners in drill bits, drill string tools, and rigs.
Completion and Production Equipment: A range of precisions parts from valve stems to fasteners used in electrical submersible pumps.
Pipeline Infrastructure: High-performance nuts and bolts for flange connections in oil and gas pipelines.
Refineries and Processing Facilities: Critical components in reactors, heat exchangers, and pressure vessels.

Materials:

Materials used in engineered fasteners for the oil & gas industry include:

Alloy Steels: Known for strength and durability under high stress.
Nickel Alloys: Excellent for high temperatures and corrosive environments.
Stainless Steel: Offers good corrosion resistance and strength.
Titanium: Lightweight and resistant to corrosion, ideal for specialized applications.
MP35N: A nickel-cobalt alloy with superior strength and corrosion resistance in sour gas environments.

Industry Standards:

Engineered fasteners in oil & gas must comply with stringent industry standards, including:

API Standards (e.g., API 20E/API 20F for critical application fasteners, API 6A for wellhead and tree equipment).
NACE MR0175/ISO 15156 for materials used in sour gas conditions.
ASME Standards for pressure vessel and piping applications.
