Webinar Description:
Proper material selection is critical to success when designing new oil and gas tools. Since this industry continues to utilize high-performance composite materials in frac plugs, casing tools, and other components, it is imperative to understand the advantages and limitations to optimize the design while minimizing cost.
Webinar topics will include:
- Overview of composite materials available for downhole tools
- Advantages and disadvantages of different composite materials
- Design considerations when using composites
- Testing composites for downhole applications
