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
