In the actual operating environment of oilfield well sites, the primary challenge for crude oil transport hoses comes from the "surface." The well site surface is mostly gravel and mud, making hose dragging almost unavoidable; the operating area experiences extreme temperatures, from scorching summers to frigid winters, putting the aging performance of the hoses to a real test; crude oil also contains sand and wax. Therefore, the primary requirements for hoses in wellfield gathering and transportation scenarios are wear resistance, weather resistance, and low-temperature resistance. A thickened wear-resistant outer layer can delay damage caused by dragging, a cold-resistant formula ensures that it remains flexible and does not harden or crack at low winter temperatures, and a thickened, highly wear-resistant inner layer can resist long-term erosion by sand particles, extending the replacement cycle from weeks to years.
Oil Truck Loading and Unloading: Suction and Discharge Combined, Reducing Replacement Steps
In dispersed blocks with low oil well production, crude oil is often transported periodically by oil trucks. During loading and unloading, the hose must be able to both extract crude oil from the well site storage tanks and pump it into the tank trucks; a single pump may be used in both directions. This requires the hose to possess both negative pressure resistance and pressure bearing capacity: in terms of negative pressure resistance, the hose body, supported by embedded spiral steel wires, will not collapse or become blocked under high vacuum, and can effectively pump out residual oil from the bottom of the tank; in terms of pressure bearing, the multi-layered reinforced structure supports normal pumping pressure without bulging. One hose completes both the suction and pumping processes, eliminating the need for repeated switching between the original suction and discharge pipes on site, thus shortening loading and unloading time and reducing the risk of oil leakage and loss during switching.
Pipeline and Valve Chambers: Flexible Compensation to Absorb Temperature Stress Long-distance pipelines have numerous valve chambers, metering rooms, and pumping stations. Many of these locations require flexible connections to compensate for the thermal expansion and contraction of the pipeline caused by temperature changes, as well as the stress caused by pump vibration. When transporting heated crude oil, the expansion and contraction of the pipeline becomes more pronounced. If all connections are rigid, stress will concentrate at the welds and flanges, easily leading to fatigue cracking over time. The role of crude oil transport hoses in these locations is to act as controllable flexible links, absorbing displacement and vibration, controlling stress and vibration locally, and preventing their transmission along the pipeline, thereby extending the service life of critical connections throughout the pipeline.
Well Workover and Well Cleaning Operations: Stable Transport Under Complex Media The media transported during well workover and well cleaning operations are highly complex, potentially including oily wastewater from the wellbore, pressurized well cleaning fluid, or mixed fluids circulating under high temperatures. These operations are characterized by concentrated timeframes, confined spaces, and frequent changes in operating conditions, placing high demands on the flexibility and media adaptability of the hoses. Crude oil transport hoses, with their excellent flexibility, can be laid out in narrow working areas; and with their oil-resistant, water-resistant, and temperature-resistant composite inner layer, they remain stable and uninterrupted during repeated media switching, ensuring continuous well workover operations.
