摘要: A seal for use within a hydrocarbon environment including a core and a shell that is coupled to the core. The core includes an elastomeric core material with a first modulus. The shell includes a shell material with a second modulus that is lesser than the first modulus. The core and the shell can be positioned to generate a pressure and electrical seal at a sealing interface.

摘要: The present disclosure provides elastomer blends comprising mixtures of partially fluorinated elastomers, such as tetrafluoroethylene propylene elastomers (FEPM or TFEP) and fluorocarbon rubbers, such as vinylidene fluoride-based elastomers (FKM or FEP). The elastomer blends can be prepared using two-roll mills, internal mixers, or other mixing technique and can be molded into seals, gaskets, o-rings or other articles using extrusion, injection molding, compression molding or the like. The resultant elastomeric articles can provide good sealing performance, including at moderate or low temperatures, and exhibit good chemical compatibility and resistance when exposed to common wellbore environments. In some cases, the elastomer blends can provide performance characteristics previously only available from perfluorinated elastomers (FFKM), but without requiring the complex processing conditions associated with preparing perfluorinated elastomers.

摘要: Manufacturing a dissolvable downhole hydraulic frac tool member, including providing water-soluble bulk metallic glass (BMG) particles, providing water-soluble thermoplastic polymer particles and mixing together to form a BMG-polymer blend. Heating the BMG-polymer blend to a temperature where the BMG particles are superplastic, the water-soluble thermoplastic polymer particles are moldable, and the BMG particles have a temperature of superplastic flowability that is in a moldability temperature range of the water-soluble thermoplastic polymer and are embedded in a matrix of the thermoplastic polymer to thereby form a BMG-polymer composition; and then;
forming the BMG-polymer composition into the frac tool member.-
