SEALMAKER International
specializes in engineered leak repair
solutions. Our unique and innovative liquid pressure
activated sealants are used to repair
troublesome leak problems associated with oil and gas production onshore
and offshore. Various leak types include hydraulic system leaks, control line and safety valve leaks(SCSSV),
well-head and tree associated leaks, sub-sea well-head, pipeline and tree
leaks, downhole equipment
leaks, casing and tubing leaks, packer leaks, etc. Our products are
specifically designed for each application using the most
technologically advanced sealant technology available today. SMI's
SEALMAKER products are based on proprietary
polymer and patented composite technologies. Our composites have
been used on over 2000 leak applications since the
initial product introduction in 1992. Over that time, our
SEALMAKER and SEALMAKER CRS system have achieved an unprecedented
success rate of 90%. In addition to the casing repair application
the SEALMAKER CRS has
been used for subsea pipeline leak repair, to successfully create
formation barrier squeezes, to remediate and restore lost circulation
during drilling operations, thus demonstrating the diverse range of functionality that our advanced technologies provide.

How SEALMAKER sealants work... |
|
|

SEALMAKER
sealants are engineered to remain liquid and inert until exposed to pressure differential
and positive displacement through a point of convergent flow. Velocity profiles
then create shearing forces against the sealant which disrupts the
stability of the fluid passing through the site of the opposing
differential force. At a precisely controlled shear velocity
through a leak site, sealant will
quickly transform from liquid to solid, adhering tenaciously to the
walls of the leak. As transformation progresses, the seal
forms a strong ultra-dense fibril network
that completely fills the leak. This seal remains
flexible, inert, solid and strong and will completely penetrate and
fill the entire leak channel. Since the magnitude of shear can
easily be controlled by the rate of flow through the leak, we can
precisely control the point at which seal formation will initiate. SEALMAKER resins build strong, tenacious, flexible,
and inert seals that can
withstand pressures in excess of 20,000 psig and temperatures beyond
550°F. Any remaining sealant in the line will not block,
plug, or interfere with the system, provides corrosion protection,
and can be used in any fluid system regardless of type; oil, glycol,
or water. |
