Advanced Composites in Oil & Gas Applications

In an industry where time truly is money, reduced downtime and improved cycle times are critical. Corrosion-resistant composite materials reduce interruptions and repair costs while rapid assembly methods, spoolable pipe, and lighter structures reduce infrastructure costs associated with pipeline component replacement. Lightweight materials also create a safer work environment, reducing chances of costly accidents.

High performance composites from Toray offer an innovative alternative to traditional metals and non-reinforced plastics typically used in the oil, gas, and energy markets.

Common energy applications include:

  • Pressure vessels
  • Frac plugs
  • Low dielectric enclosures
  • Gaskets
  • Tubular products
  • Piping and pipe overwrapping

Umbilicals

Umbilicals utilize Toray's thermoplastic uni-directional tapes for their lightweight and high tensile strength. Umbilicals are ideal for protecting important electronics used to communicate with equipment below the surface.

Compressed Gas Cylinders

Toray's thermosets overwrap the compressed gas cylinders used for a variety of command and control actions on valves. Composites in this application provide high levels of weight reduction and reliability.

Pipe Overwrap

Toray's glass/HDPE thermoplastic uni-directional tapes provide high tensile strengths to reinforce oil and gas pipes. Wrapped composite piping systems are corrosion resistant and much lighter in weight compared to metal pipe.

Drill Plugs

Often inserted in exploratory wells before a final decision is made to harvest oil reservoirs, drill plugs produced from Toray composites are easier, more reliable, and faster to drill out than similar plugs made of steel, minimizing exploration downtime.
