A new lightweight, jointed, flexible drill pipe engineered from space-age composites rather than steel passed important field tests, according to the US Department of Energy's National Energy ...

Advanced fiber-reinforced polymer composites offer new options for working on and completing deep wells that have high temperatures and pressures (HT-HP) and produce corrosive fluids, although proper ...

Composite materials are engineered by fusing different materials, typically consisting of a matrix (a polymer, metal, or ceramic) and a reinforcement (such as fibers, particles, or flakes) that ...
