Blade’s Expertise in Mechanics, Materials & Corrosion Flashcards
What materials does Blade work with for downhole tools?
Blade works with OCTG (casing, tubing, drill pipe), carbon steels, CRAs, and materials for wellhead, flowlines, and other downhole equipment.
How does Blade approach fracture design for sour wells?
Blade uses fracture mechanics to evaluate brittle burst pressure and designs tubulars to withstand extreme conditions using failure assessment diagrams and testing like NACE tensile testing.
What is autoclave testing?
Autoclave testing simulates downhole conditions in a lab to test how materials perform under high pressure, temperature, and corrosive environments.
How does Blade address fatigue and extreme loading conditions?
Blade evaluates materials under fatigue and extreme loading conditions using fracture mechanics and corrosion testing to ensure they can handle the stresses of downhole applications.
