The Oil & Gas industry works with highly caustic chemicals, high pressures, and temperatures. Therefore, components for this industry need to be designed with high-level knowledge of Material Sciences. These components must maintain their integrity despite harsh drilling conditions, severe weather, contact with abrasive substances, mechanical stress, low temperatures and friction tolerance. It also must undergo and survive rapid gas decompression, also known as explosive decompression and resist degradation due to sour gas exposure. The demands of increased uptime and continued serviceability require rubber components of exceptional quality. DPPL R&D has achieved multiple breakthrough products that reduce operating costs, optimize performance, and improve the environmental footprint.
