Global energy demands continue to increase and the Oil & Gas industry turns to extreme regions with harsh operating conditions. Solvay Specialty Polymers offers the largest portfolio of high performance polymers that meet these demanding requirements. The Oil & Gas industry offers challenging applications for most polymeric materials and demands high temperature performance, chemical resistance, chemical permeation resistance, toughness and flexibility even at low temperature, excellent electrical insulation and long-term reliability. Solvay Specialty Polymers provide a wide range of high performance polymers to meet Oil & Gas critical requirements. Specialty polymers generally demonstrate excellent thermal aging with very little change in mechanical properties over time. However environmental factors such as load and chemical exposure may affect long-term performance and therefore end-use performance testing should be carried out to verify the acceptability of the polymers in each application. Thermal ratings should be used as a general guideline for the maximum operating temperature in oil service.

Polidan PEX Cross-Linkable Compounds In piping systems for hot fluid transport applications, materials must combine high pressure resistance together with excellent long-term performance at high temperatures. Traditional polyethylene is often limited. Polidan PEX grades are silane cross-linkable PE compounds manufactured according to the SIOPLAS system, which have been specifically developed to meet such requirements and offer an attractive alternative to insulated steels. Polidan PEX grades are available in a range of densities from.9 to.96 kg/cm 3. Cross-linked PE pipes manufactured from Polidan PEX grades demonstrate the following outstanding properties: Excellent temperature resistance up to 9 C Very high Environmental Stress Crack Resistance (ESCR) and notch resistance Very good chemical and corrosion resistance Very high resistance towards Rapid Crack Propagation (RCP) Excellent long-term strength No hydrolysis Excellent creep resistance up to 95 C Typical applications: Barrier layer in flexible risers and RTPs Umbilical hoses Cable jacketing Self-supported pipes External coating layers Internal liners PEX density variation during RGD cycles in supercritical CO 2 Density [g/cm 3 ].96.955.95.945 Polidan TUX 1.94 Virgin I II III IV V Cycles Excellent resistance to supercritical CO 2 Thermo-chemical comparison PA11 Polidan TUX 1 HDPE Ethylene Glycol Phenol Methanol Crude Oil (1%) Benzene (1%) C1-C4, Methane-Butane Seawater Calcium Chloride Hydrogen Sulfide Sulfuric < 7 % Hydrochloric Carbonic 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 1 Cycles High Performance Polymers for Oil & Gas / 5

Solef PVDF Polyvinylidene Fluoride Solef PVDF is perhaps the best known fluoropolymer used in the Oil & Gas industry because of its extensive use in flexible risers and flowlines since the 199 s. Typical properties: Continuous service temperature up to 13 15 C Excellent chemical resistance Good mechanical properties Low permeability to most gases and liquids High abrasion resistance Excellent resistance to Rapid Gas Decompression (RGD) Solef PVDF for Flexible Risers and Flowlines Solef PVDF is perfectly suited to the demanding applications of deepwater subsea oil service. The complex pipe structures are designed to withstand the high pressures, temperatures and aggressive oil fluids, and Solef PVDF is increasingly used as a barrier, thanks to its excellent long-term performance in exposure to these conditions. Solef PVDF is qualified to API17J up to a continuous service temperature of 13 C for 2 years, and already has a strong proven track record in these applications. Increasingly an issue is the presence of supercritical CO 2 in oilfield fluids when it is used as a solvent in Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR). Solef PVDF was exposed to supercritical CO 2 at 13 C and 15 bar to prove the chemical stability. Results showed low weight increase and low influence on mechanical properties. Fluoropolymers not only offer good chemical compatibility with supercritical CO 2 at high temperature and in polluted mixtures, but can also protect the surrounding metallic structures. Many hydrocarbon producing regions of the world are significantly sour. H 2 S in the presence of moisture is a serious problem for many metallic components, causing Sulphide Stress Corrosion Cracking (SSCC), Hydrogen Embrittlement (HE), Hydrogen Induced Cracking (HIC), or stress oriented HIC. Unbonded flexible pipes are an example of a product where negligible permeation of H 2 S through the inner pressure sheath is highly desirable. Solef PVDF has been submitted to an exposure program at several elevated temperatures and H 2 S concentrations; test results confirm PVDF is only slightly affected in sour environments.

Elastic modulus in sour environment Elastic modulus [MPa] Solef PVDF for Umbilicals Umbilical hoses are required to resist methanol and ethanol and have a very low permeability to such injection fluids. Solef PVDF has been selected by high pressure hose manufacturer SPIR STAR for these reasons, for use up to 15 C and 1,125 bar.

While corrosion can be controlled and mitigated by chemical additive injection, a small change of the chemical composition or of any flow parameters of the oil can drastically increase the corrosion rate. Polymer-lined carbon steel piping is an effective and economic alternative to the use of Corrosion Resistant Alloys (CRA), and can reduce the use of chemical injection and maintenance costs. Solef PVDF is a material of choice for preventing corrosion and providing long-term reliability to hydrocarbon lines. Solef PVDF for Coatings: Internal and External Protection of Pipelines Solvay Specialty Polymers have developed a new Solef PVDF material designed for direct adhesion onto metals and allowing the construction of multilayer coating systems. This new Solef PVDF is available as a powder coating system and provides excellent adhesion and chemical compatibility with other Solef PVDF grades, suitable for extrusion, providing thermal insulation and mechanical strength to the steel pipe. This two-layer system may be used for the external coating of pipelines. The traditional Electrostatic Powder Coating (EPC) system based on PVDF resins, one layer of primer and several layers of top coat, can be used for internal coatings of pipelines. Properties of Solef PVDF coatings: Thermal stability from 3 C to 15 C Thermal conductivity lower than.2 W/m K Water absorption <.2 % Low permeation to water over a wide range of temperature Excellent mechanical and impact strength Intrinsic weathering resistance Excellent electrical insulation Density: 1.78 g/cm 3 Courtesy of SPIR STAR Homopolymer, 13 C, 4 % H 2 S Homopolymer, 13 C, 64 % H 2 S Copolymer, 13 C, 4 % H 2 S Copolymer, 13 C, 64 % H 2 S High Performance Polymers for Oil & Gas / 7

Halar ECTFE Ethylene-Chlorotrifluoro-Ethylene Halar ECTFE provides a unique combination of characteristics and is well established wherever corrosion protection is required, in challenging conditions. It is broadly used for thin or thick sheets, filters, pipes and films but also for cable jacketing and encapsulation in downhole applications. Grades are available to serve various processing techniques, from melt extrusion to direct electrostatic powder coating. Coated parts exhibit an outstanding surface smoothness, on top of Halar ECTFE properties. Typical properties of Halar ECTFE: Continuous service up to 15 C Outstanding resistance against gases and chemicals Excellent abrasion resistance Non-flammability Exceptional surface smoothness Main coating properties: High coating hardness Good adhesion to substrate Excellent barrier properties Low permeation Low wettability Courtesy of Fisher Company

Hyflon PFA Perfluoroalkoxy Fluorocarbon Resins Hyflon PFA resins are a unique family of semi-crystalline melt processable perfluoropolymers that combine excellent mechanical characteristics with novel properties such as high and very low temperature resistance, chemical inertness, inherent flame resistance, low surface energy and exceptional dielectric properties. Hyflon PFA resins are used in several Oil & Gas downhole applications and for corrosion protection. Typical properties: Mechanical properties and dimensional stability from 2 C to 26 C Excellent long-term aging resistance Good flexibility and ductility even down to 1 C Universal chemical resistance Exceptional thermal stress crack resistance Good permeation resistance Excellent electrical properties and fire resistance No plasticizer, no additives Intrisic UV resistance Good resistance to rapid gas decompression Hyflon PFA for Downhole Cables and Control Lines Electro-mechanical cables carry power and data to monitor downhole operations and are exposed to harsh conditions. Hyflon PFA provides hydrolytic stability and chemical resistance and can perform at very high temperatures. Control lines consist of a steel tube that is encapsulated with a polymer to provide corrosion, abrasion and crush resistance. Hyflon PFA is used extensively in this application. Hyflon PFA for Corrosion Protection Steel pipes transporting crude hydrocarbons are increasingly exposed to high operating temperatures, high concentrations of corrosive fluids and gases, high water cut and must be designed and protected for safe and reliable operation. Stainless steel and corrosion-resistant alloys are well established but costly solutions, and chemical inhibitors do not always offer reliable prevention at high temperature. Used for lining, Hyflon PFA pipes provide high temperature corrosion protection, excellent erosion and abrasion resistance, as well as excellent resistance to H 2 S and CO 2 also in supercritical phase. Its low coefficient of friction and surface tension can also prevent wax build-up and increase flow.

Amides Algoflon L and Polymist micronized powders are used as additives for coatings and greases in the Oil & Gas industry. These materials are low molecular weight PTFE powders with small particle sizes that are used as additives in many different applications to enhance processing or end-use performance characteristics. Polymist powders, obtained through suspension polymerization, are composed of compact particles having sizes designed for the final application. Algoflon L powders, obtained through dispersion polymerization, are agglomerates of smaller primary particles and for this reason they have higher specific surface area than Polymist powders. All these micronized powders can be used at temperatures from 26 C to 26 C and have been designed to be easily dispersed in dry or liquid media.
