1、 Multi layer composite structure: designed specifically for extreme working conditions
The oil drilling and production hose adopts a four layer reinforced structure to adapt to high-pressure, corrosive media, and complex geological environments underground
Inner lining layer
Resistant to hydrogen sulfide (H ₂ S) fluororubber (FKM) or ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE), with a thickness of ≥ 4.0mm, acid and alkali (pH 1-14), and crude oil penetration (permeability ≤ 0.1g/m ² · h);
Enhancement layer
Double layer 316L stainless steel wire weaving (tensile strength ≥ 2500MPa), 54 °± 2 ° cross weaving, burst pressure ≥ 60MPa (API 16C standard);
Compressive layer
Spiral wound aramid fiber, resistant to negative pressure flattening (vacuum degree ≥ 0.1MPa);
Outer protective layer
Wear resistant NBR+polyester fiber weaving, thickness ≥ 3.0mm, resistant to rock impact (drop hammer test ≥ 50J) and UV aging (QUV 1500 hours without cracks).
2、 Dynamic pressure bearing and medium resistance performance
Oil drilling and production hoses need to meet the extreme operational requirements of oil and gas wells:
Pressure level
Working pressure: 15~35MPa (static)/10~25MPa (dynamic), pulse test passed 1 million times (ISO 6803 standard);
Temperature range
-50 ℃~+150 ℃, short-term temperature resistance of 180 ℃ (API 7K specification);
Corrosion resistance
Tolerance to H ₂ S (concentration ≤ 500ppm), CO ₂, and high salinity formation water (TDS ≤ 300g/L);
Bending performance
Dynamic bending radius ≤ 6 times the pipe diameter (DN80 hose can be bent up to R480mm).
Case: A shale gas well used a DN100 hose to transport fracturing fluid (pressure 28MPa) and operated continuously for 12 months without any malfunctions.
3、 Core application scenarios and industry pain point solutions
Oil drilling and production hoses play a key role in the following scenarios:
Drilling platform
Transporting mud (density ≤ 2.5g/cm ³) and drilling fluid, anti-wear particle erosion (ASTM G65 test weight loss ≤ 0.5g);
Fracturing operation
Resistant to acidic fracturing fluid (pH 0.5-3.0) and proppant impact, with a pulse life exceeding industry standards by 30%;
Deep sea oil extraction
Covered with anti seawater corrosion polyurethane layer (salt spray resistance ≥ 2000 hours), suitable for a water depth of 3000 meters;
Oil and gas gathering and transportation
Anti static design (surface resistance ≤ 1 × 10 ⁶ Ω), compliant with ATEX explosion-proof certification.
Benefit data: After a certain offshore platform adopted sulfur resistant hoses, the maintenance cycle was extended from 3 months to 18 months.
4、 International Certification and Safety Compliance Standards
Oil drilling and production hoses need to pass three core certifications:
API certification
Compliant with API 16C (well control equipment) and API 7K (drilling equipment) dynamic pressure testing requirements;
ISO standard
Certified according to ISO 23936-2 (H ₂ S resistance test) and ISO 1436 (pulse fatigue);
NOISH specification
Meets MSHA 30 CFR § 56/57 mine safety and blast resistance standards.
Hoses certified by DNV-GL, ABS, and CCS classification societies can cover onshore, offshore, and polar oil and gas field scenarios.
5、 Installation standards and full lifecycle management
Key operational guidelines for extending the service life of hoses:
Selection matching
Select pressure level according to well depth (shallow well 15MPa/deep well ≥ 35MPa), and FKM material is preferred for acidic oil and gas fields;
Installation restrictions
Minimum bending radius ≥ 5 times the pipe diameter (DN50 hose ≥ 250mm) to avoid wire layer breakage;
