BAKU, Azerbaijan, December 10. Azerbaijan has
geothermal resources, especially in Karabakh, and the use of
special coating for pipes improves the efficiency of drilling these
geothermal wells, Gerard Dennehy, general director of NOV
Azerbaijan LLC, the Azerbaijani division of the National Oilwell
Varco (NOV) international corporation, one of the world leaders in
the production of equipment and technologies for the oil and gas
industry, said at the event "Asset Integrity & Corrosion and
Coatings Conference" dedicated to the oil and gas sector that has
begun in Baku, Trend reports.
According to him, the technology of thermal insulation of pipes
with the help of a special coating is recommended for deep and
high-temperature wells and also increases the efficiency of
drilling in geothermal projects.
"Azerbaijan has resources, especially in Karabakh, which can be
used. And thanks to the special coating of the pipes, it is
possible to get significantly more advantages when drilling
geothermal wells," he explained.
Dennehy emphasized that the TK-liner system, engineered by the
Tuboscope division over 25 years ago, has achieved extensive
application, with approximately 70 million feet of piping currently
outfitted with analogous liners.
He also emphasized the criticality of the TK-Ring, which
facilitates unimpeded fluid dynamics and ensures secure deployment
of tools into the borehole.
The TK-Liner System is a high-performance glass-reinforced epoxy
or fiberglass lining system. It protects downhole tubulars and
flowlines from corrosion, keeps geothermal/injection wells from
losing heat, and extends the life of assets used in oil and gas
production, injection, disposal, and geothermal applications.
