IPC Series 9000: Full Bore Protection For Downhole Tubing

Oil and Gas rig in the water

IPC Series 9000 is the best protective coating available for downhole tubing, offering full bore protection in a variety of corrosive environments.

In fact, IPC Series 9000 has become a top choice for Oil & Gas applications across Canada and North America. 

IPC Series 9000 Is The Best Protective Coating For Tubing

Downhole tubing failures can cost thousands of dollars in replacement and missed production costs. Increasingly, Oil & Gas companies are looking to apply coatings to their tubing to protect it from corrosion and wear. IPC Series 9000 is the perfect solution. It offers superior chemical resistance and total coverage in some of the most corrosive environments in the world. 

In fact, IPC Series 9000 has also become the preferred choice over competing offerings including Traditional TK Coatings thanks to its high bond strength and superior protective qualities. 

How IPC Series 9000 WORKS

IPC Series 9000 is a thermally treated and diffused nickel-super-alloy deposit. It offers a dramatic improvement in corrosion resistance and exceptional erosion and abrasion properties. A thick, hard protective and tenacious oxide film is formed on the surface along with a Ni-Fe alloy layer, pore-free and ductile, created at the interface between the coating and the substrate. Due to the solid-state diffusion, the bond strength of this amalgamated alloy is outstanding and far more reliable than the plated coatings alone.

Full Bore Protection To Prevent Corrosion & Wear

Historically, high phosphorus deposits have provided excellent barrier protection for corrosive environments making it one of the preferred solutions offered for Oil & Gas applications. Plus, with the further enhancement using IPC’s proprietary heat treatment, we created a metallic alloy with three additional barrier layers of protection to meet highly corrosive and erosive problems often encountered by oilfield equipment such as H2S, Co2, O2, CI brine, solids and high temperature. 

IPC Series 9000 is also the top solution in brackish water markets that have been subjected to severely corrosive and erosive environments including sand, produced water, injection and disposal wells, Brine service, CO2/H2S and Acid Gas services.

IPC Series 9000 is the preferred choice for applications such as plant maintenance and expansion where there are corrosion and erosion issues, boiler applications with high temperature, chlorides and particulates, downhole fracturing and wear applications and CO2 injection wells. 

It helps to massively extend the life of downhole tools, wellheads, valves, pipes, spools, tubing and casing in both plant and field applications in either conventional or thermal environments. 

IPC Series 9000 Coating Capabilities

One of the top usages of IPC Series 9000 is for downhole tubing. Not only is it Full Bore and provides both corrosion and wear protection, but it has the best coating to metal bond when compared to organic coatings.

IPC Series 9000 also has a similar coefficient of thermal expansion as regular steel. So in higher temperature applications, coating delamination, peeling and cracking are far less common when compared to polymer coatings and liners.

Recommended Usages & Order Capabilities

IPC Series 9000 is used to prevent corrosion and wear for gas wells, heavy oil wells and water wells in a range of harmful environments. These environments often include sulfur, asphaltenes deposition, corrosion, scaling and more.

Our state-of-the-art facility is capable of handling casing and tubing lengths in Range 1, 2, and 3 and custom lengths up to 50 ft. IPC Series 9000 delivers successful results after 24 stage frac and 600 tons of sand at 6.5 /min.
