Zirconia Slip Teeth Widely Applied in Petroleum Industry to Upgrade Drilling & Production Equipment

As oil and gas exploration and development gradually move towards deep wells, ultra-deep wells and complex geological conditions, key downhole components are confronted with severe working conditions such as high wear, strong corrosion, high pressure and high temperature. Traditional alloy slip teeth suffer from easy abrasion, short service life and high maintenance cost, which can hardly meet the demand for efficient exploitation.
 
With outstanding comprehensive properties including high hardness, high toughness, erosion resistance, corrosion resistance and high-temperature dimensional stability, Zirconia ceramic slip teeth have become the preferred core accessories for petroleum drilling slips, casing clamping and downhole anchoring positioning devices.
 
Compared with traditional metal materials, zirconia slip teeth feature strong gripping force, anti-slip and anti-breaking performance. Its service life is greatly improved in sandy formations and highly corrosive well conditions, which obviously reduces equipment shutdown maintenance and parts replacement frequency, cuts oilfield operating costs and improves drilling efficiency.
 
In addition, customized precision forming is available to match the assembly requirements of various petroleum downhole tools. It also has the advantages of light weight, fatigue resistance and low friction, conforming to the development trend of energy saving, safety, high efficiency and green exploitation in the petroleum industry.
 
With the continuous upgrading of special ceramic preparation and precision processing technology, zirconia slip teeth will be further popularized in onshore deep wells, offshore oil & gas and unconventional oil & gas exploitation scenarios, helping the petroleum industry realize equipment localization, cost reduction, efficiency improvement and high-quality development.
