Differs per product line

Technology Innovations
  • BLAZE® is environmentally safe and its byproducts can be recharged or disposed of safely in a landfill.
  • It is the only 100% sustainable treating method in the oil and gas equipment market today.
  • BLAZE® thermal boron diffusion is not added to the surface of a part. Rather, its chemistry is diffused into the pores of the metal.
  • Unlike conventional decades-old boronizing techniques, BLAZE® does not cause distortion of surfaces as a result of Fe-B chemical bonds. This unique feature enables high tolerance parts, such as threaded items or moving components, to be boronized when historically was not feasible.
  • Simple and economic base metal materials work best, thereby preventing the need for exotic metallurgical knowledge or unfamiliar material requirements in your organization.
Applications
  • Longer run life in deviated horizontal and vertical wellbores
  • Withstands corrosive environments longer than conventional metallurgy and other options
  • Able to improve performance in sand and high solid content production fluid streams
  • Withstands erosional fluid flow / inconsistent multi-phase production slugs versus conventional equipment
  • Extends run life and durability of mated surfaces or parts that are not treated (ex: production tubing)
  • Coating can be applied to a wide variety of oilfield parts both downhole and at surface
  • Novel high-flow rate fiberglass couplings have the potential to displace smaller ESP installations
