Offshore applications

Polymer materials are used for sealing purposes in gas and oil wells. Material choice is critical in order to stand the environment a well represent with high differential pressure, high temperatures and chemical aggresive environment.


In industry several companies have specialised on sealing off the annulus by injection of a thermoset resin with sutaible viscosity and curing properties. Some companies have developed dedicated tools which enables transportation of resin, perforation and injection in one procedure.
