ASTM B704 Incoloy 825 High Tensile Hydraulic Control Line Capillary Tubing

Welded and redrawn control lines are the preferred construction for control lines being used in downhole oil and gas applications. Our welded control lines are used in SCSSV, Chemical Injection, Advanced Well Completions, and Gauge Applications. We offer a variety of control lines. (TIG Welded or Laser Welded, and floating plug drawn, and lines with enhancements) The various processes provide us the ability to customize a solution to meet your well completion.

Typical Size of Control Line

Outside diameter of control lines is mainly 1/4’’ (6.35mm).

Wall thicknesses: 0.035’’ (0.89mm), 0.049’’ (1.24mm), 0.065’’ (1.65mm)

Control line tubing is available in lengths from 400 feet (122 meters) to 32,808 feet (10,000 meters). No orbitally butt welds.

Other specifications (1/8’’ to 3/4’’) are available on request.

Precision Manufacturing

Meilong Tube operates from a complex of buildings totaling 20,000 square meters.

Each one tubing coil is a completely continuous length without orbital welds.

Each one tubing coil is hydrostatic tested with a targeted pressure.

The test can be witnessed on site by the third party inspectors (SGS, BV, DNV).

Heat Treatment

The tubing is heat-treated to achieve specified mechanical properties and corrosion resistance in an off-mill furnace with a reducing atmosphere.

Application Description for SSSV

A safety valve is a valve that acts as the protector of your equipment. Safety valves can prevent damage to your pressure vessels and even prevent explosions at your facility when installed in pressure vessels.

A safety valve is a type of valve that automatically actuates when the pressure of the inlet side of the valve increases to a predetermined pressure, to open the valve disc and discharge the fluid. The safety valve system is designed to be a fail-safe so that a wellbore can be isolated in the event of any system failure or damage to the surface production-control facilities.

In most cases, it is mandatory to have a means of closure for all wells capable of natural flow to the surface. The installation of a subsurface safety valve (SSSV) will provide this emergency closure capability. Safety systems may be operated on a fail-safe principle from a control panel located on the surface.

The SCSSV is controlled by a ¼” stainless steel control line that is attached to the outside of the well tubing string and installed when the production tubing is installed. Depending on the wellhead pressure, it may be necessary to keep as much as 10,000 psi on the control line to keep the valve open.

Tubing Process and Packing

Seamless- pierced, redrawn, annealed (multi-pass circulation process)

Welded- longitudinally welded, redrawn, annealed (multi-pass circulation process)

Packing- Tubing is level wound coiled on the metal / wooden drums or spools.

All drums or spools are packed in wooden crates for easy logistic operation.

Meilong Tube manufactures high quality seamless and redrawn, seam-welded and redrawn coiled tubing which are made from corrosion-resistant austenitic, duplex, super duplex stainless steel and nickel alloy grades. 100% of products are used as hydraulic power control lines, chemical injection lines, alloy tubing in umbilicals and instrumentation tubing for the exploitation engineering in the upstream oil and gas industry.

Coiled tubing is available in sizes arrange from outer diameter 0.125 inch (3.175 millimeters) to 1 inch (25.4 millimeters). Wall thickness is up to 0.083 inch (2.108 millimeters). Lengths up to 65600 feet (20,000 meters) are available for cost-effective umbilical manufacturing. More sizes within the scope can be customized to be produced and delivered for meeting your special requirements.

As more oil and gas extractions move into deeper and harsher waters where extreme offshore environments demand extreme safety, our work is to help you use the “right” corrosion resistant material for coiled umbilical tubing to improve the safety and reliability of your work. This is the power for driving our innovations and continuous development.

Now Meilong Tube is devoting its capability to bring global customers most cost-effective tubing products through ensuring a comprehensive supply guarantee regarding the complete value-added chain in tubing production and is herewith the basis for the high performance in products and customer satisfaction.
