Composites Protect Pipe in Downhole Environment
Clipped to the Drawing Board by John William  
The stereotypical Hollywood image of a freshly tapped oil field usually conjures up scenes of a wide-open scrubland dotted with cactus, a blazing overhead sun and a tall wooden derrick. Out of the top of the derrick sprays thick, black crude oil, covering everything around it, while oil-slicked riggers dance and rejoice at having finally struck “black gold.” As this somewhat fanciful image implies, oil and natural gas reserves trapped thousands of feet below ground are subject to hydrostatic pressure. This naturally occurring phenomenon drives the oil or gas to the surface, making it relatively easy to extract. This pressure, however, diminishes over time, even when substantial amounts of recoverable oil or gas still remain in the ground.
