Oil & Gas

High temperature resistant gels and greases that can withstand harsh environments.

Oil & Gas cable applications, specifically the part of an umbilical fiber optic cable that is dedicated to communicating information about the well via Distributed Acoustic or Strain sensing.  These cables can experience extreme heat, exposure to hydrogen, and vertical installation.

Info-Gel's Heat DefenderTM series of materials help to withstand temperatures between -50 up to 300°C and the H2 DefenderTM series of products can scavenge hydrogen from the line to prevent attenuation in the Fiber at certain wavelengths.

Gels for Oil & Gas Industry

All Products

H2 Defender™ Hydrogen Scavenging

Additives that absorb hydrogen to prevent yellowing of the fiber. Usually paired with a high temperature gel, but can be made from any gel. The level of hydrogen uptake can be tailored from 2 cm3 H2/gram of gel to almost any level higher.
