Fracking is a process of drilling into rock formations and pumping fluids (usually hydrochloric acid or water) to open the pores and release oil and gas. These frac fluids can be transferred using specialized hoses. CPE hoses can handle a variety of acids, alcohols and salt solutions. They also have a higher working pressure than […]
A BOP is a device that stops formation fluid from flowing from wells. It is activated by a system of pumps that pressurized hydraulic control fluid and remote accumulators. BOP equipment must be tested before spud, upon installation and following any change or repair of pressure containment seals in the BOP stack, choke line or […]
Acid fracturing is a well stimulation technique that uses water-based fluids and proppants to create fractures in the rock formation. These fractures allow gas and fluid to flow easier into the well. These hoses are very expensive and should not be taken lightly. They should be American Petroleum Institute (API) certified and built to a […]
A mudhose is used to transport water-based and oil-based muds and other fluids. It is made up of a tube, reinforcement and cover. It is manufactured in accordance with API 7K specifications, and comes equipped with various fittings. It can withstand high pressure up to 5kpsi. High pressure mud hose characteristics High pressure mud hose […]
Oil field hoses are vital components in a drilling rig’s system. These hoses are usually the most expensive on a drilling rig. However, they require the highest quality construction and production standards to withstand chemicals and pressures. High pressure mud hoses are used to transport a variety of drilling fluids and other lubricants to the […]
