Composite drilling and completion centralisers with extreme mechanical properties
Matrix Composites & Engineering has developed a new range of patented composite drilling and completion centralisers for the oil and gas industry. The centralisers are used in offshore drilling and completions for the construction of challenging well designs including horizontal, long-reach, deviated and extended-reach drilling wells.
By
Jason Kent Well construction commercial manager Matrix Composites & Engineering
T
he new composite centralisers include the Pioneer, Wide Blade, Revolution and Ballistic centralisers which differ according to friction factors and impact resistance. The new centralisers are made from a polymer formulation that combines the highest mechanical tensile and impact strength of a synthetic matrix with an ultra-low friction compound that provides the sliding properties required for operating in difficult long-reach wells.
about critical parameters which are subsequently incorporated into process control practices in accordance with ISO 9001. An example is porosity and the resulting increase in friction. Matrix paid particular attention to the process and type of polymer used and have adapted these and the tooling to ensure the new centralisers are free of voids and have zero porosity. They also carry out regular reviews on the centralisers including their critical dimensions to ensure consistency and quality. The centralisers undergo a strict qua-
lification process including side load strength, friction tests, abrasion tests, porosity inspection, full dimensional reports and ring pull-off force tests to name a few. Post-conditioning of centralisers enhances their impact resistance and dimensional stability.
Diversification strategy
The Matrix centraliser was developed as part of the company’s diversification strategy and ability to use similar materials and technologies already used in the manufacture of its other product lines.
Composite innovation
A mineral reinforcement is also used within the polymeric matrix to enhance mechanical properties. This optimal synergy of mechanical and functional properties combined with consistent production quality is a key point of differentiation between the Matrix centraliser and other products. Lower friction allows longer deployment of casing and well screens which enables drilling of longer reach wells. Throughout the manufacturing process, Matrix focuses on continuous improvement, robust process conception and adequate quality control. The team gathers feedback from clients
Matrix centralisers provide many benefits
