Application of Cables in Underground Equipment for Oil Exploration

1.Product industry background

With the continuous growth of global demand for oil resources, the oil exploration industry continues to develop to a deeper and more complex environment. Oil exploration downhole equipment as a key tool to obtain underground oil and gas resources, its stability and reliability for the entire exploration operation is critical. As a bridge connecting downhole equipment and ground control center, the performance of cables directly affects the accuracy of exploration data and the operational efficiency of equipment. Therefore, a set of high-performance, high-reliability oil exploration downhole equipment cable solution is particularly important.

2.The pain point analysis

In the process of oil exploration, the downhole environment is complex and variable, the cable needs to withstand high temperature, high pressure, high humidity, corrosion and other harsh conditions. Traditional cable products often have the following problems: unstable electrical performance, lack of mechanical strength, poor corrosion resistance, etc. These problems not only affect the accuracy of exploration data, but also may lead to equipment failure, and even cause safety accidents.

3.Oil exploration downhole equipment on cable requirements

For the special needs of oil exploration downhole equipment, cables must meet the following requirements:

Superior electrical performance: the cable should have good electrical conductivity and insulation to ensure the accuracy and stability of signal transmission.
High mechanical strength: the cable should have sufficient tensile, compressive and twisting resistance to adapt to the complex working environment downhole.
High corrosion resistance: the cable should be able to resist the corrosion of oil, water, acid, alkali and other substances to ensure long-term stable operation.
Resistant to high temperature and high pressure: the cable should be able to work normally in high temperature and high pressure environment without deformation or damage.

4.The oil exploration downhole equipment cable certification standards

Oil exploration downhole equipment cables need to comply with a series of international and domestic certification standards, such as EN, API, IEC, ISO, GB and so on. These standards for the cable’s electrical performance, mechanical properties, environmental adaptability and other aspects of strict regulations to ensure the safe and reliable operation of the cable in the oil exploration process.

5.Cable selection

For the special needs of downhole equipment for oil exploration, TST CABLES recommends the selection of special cables with excellent electrical properties, mechanical properties and environmental adaptability. In the selection process, we have fully considered the complexity of the downhole environment, selected materials with high insulation strength, high mechanical strength, high corrosion resistance, and the use of advanced production technology to ensure that the cable can meet the requirements of oil exploration.

Selection parameters for reference (can be customized according to actual needs)
Long-term temperature resistance: -50-250℃
Voltage rating: 300V 600V
Gamma ray resistance: 850KGy can be used for a long time.
Low smoke, halogen-free, flame retardant, high and low temperature resistance.

6.Product characteristics

The cable products of this solution have the following remarkable characteristics:

Stable electrical performance: adopting high-quality conductor and insulation materials to ensure the accuracy and stability of signal transmission.
High mechanical strength: adopting multi-layer reinforced structure to improve the cable’s tensile, compressive and twisting resistance.
Strong corrosion resistance: the outer sheath of the cable is made of special materials, which can effectively resist the corrosion of oil, water, acid, alkali and other substances.
High temperature and high pressure resistance: the cable can work stably for a long time under high temperature and high pressure environment.
