Application of Cables in Underground Natural Gas Exploration Equipment
1. Industry Background
With the continuous growth of global energy demand, natural gas exploration, as an important means of obtaining clean energy, is becoming increasingly important. In the process of natural gas exploration, the cable system of underground equipment plays a crucial role, they are responsible for transmitting data, controlling signals and providing power for underground equipment, which is a key component to ensure the smooth progress of exploration work.
2. Pain point analysis
In the process of natural gas exploration, underground equipment cables face many challenges. First of all, the exploration environment is complex and variable, the cable needs to withstand underground high temperature, high pressure, high humidity and other harsh environment, but also to resist chemical corrosion and mechanical damage in the soil. Secondly, the cable needs to transmit a large amount of exploration data and control signals to ensure the accuracy and real-time exploration data. In addition, the safety and reliability of cables are also important considerations in the exploration process. However, traditional cable products are often difficult to meet these requirements, there are unstable performance, easy to damage and other problems, which bring a lot of inconvenience and risk to natural gas exploration.
3. Natural gas exploration of underground equipment on the cable requirements
Oil resistance, corrosion resistance: As the exploration environment may involve oil and corrosive substances, the cable must have the corresponding oil and corrosion resistance.
High temperature resistance, low temperature resistance: large temperature differences in the underground environment, the cable must be able to work at high and very low temperatures.
High mechanical strength: during the exploration process, the cable may be subject to extrusion, stretching and other external forces, so it needs to have high mechanical strength.
Excellent electrical performance: in order to ensure the stability and accuracy of data transmission, the cable must have good electrical performance.
4.Natural gas exploration underground equipment cable certification standards
Cable products should pass relevant international or domestic certifications, such as IEC, NEK, API, EN, GB, JB and so on. These standards on the electrical performance of the cable, mechanical properties, environmental adaptability and other aspects of strict regulations, especially for the special requirements of the natural gas exploration environment, the cable should be through the corresponding explosion-proof, flame retardant and other safety certification.
5. Cable Selection
For the special requirements of underground equipment for natural gas exploration, TST CABLES suggests prioritizing the use of insulation and sheath materials with high temperature and corrosion resistance to improve the environmental performance of cables. At the same time, we will optimize the structural design of the cable to enhance its resistance to stretching, bending and vibration. In addition, we will also pay attention to the safety performance of the cable such as flame retardant, low smoke and non-toxic to ensure its safety in emergency situations.

8.Natural gas exploration underground equipment laying installation and commissioning
Laying: According to the specific environment and equipment layout of the exploration site, reasonably plan the direction of the cable and the laying method to avoid excessive bending of the cable or damage by external forces.
Installation: Ensure the firmness and sealing of cable joints to prevent the intrusion of oil and corrosive substances.
Commissioning: After the installation of natural gas exploration underground equipment cable is completed, comprehensive testing and commissioning should be carried out to ensure stable and reliable data transmission and power supply.
