Abstract
Coating compositions for coating an oilfield operational component, and related methods, may include in some aspects a coating composition having a trifunctional silane, a silanol, and a filler. The coating composition may be applied to a surface of the oilfield operational component that is configured to be exposed to a fluid. The coating composition may be applied to at least partially cover or coat the surface. The coating composition may be configured to chemically bond with a cured primer composition that includes an epoxy.
Claims30
A method for preparing a coating composition for application to at least a portion of an oilfield component to reduce damage induced by flow of a fluid within the oilfield component when passing therethrough, the method comprising:
- combining trifunctional silane, silanol fluid, titanium oxide, and a filler;
- and
- mixing the trifunctional silane, the silanol fluid, the titanium dioxide, and the filler to obtain the coating composition, the coating composition being operable to form a coating layer on an inner surface of the at least a portion of the oilfield component, the coating layer operable to reduce damage to the oilfield component induced by flow of a fluid passing therethrough.
A method for preparing a coating composition for application to at least a portion of an oilfield operational component to reduce damage induced by flow of a fluid within the oilfield component when passing therethrough, the method comprising:
- combining trifunctional silane, silanol fluid, titanium dioxide, a pigment, and a filler;
- and
- mixing the trifunctional silane, the silanol fluid, the titanium dioxide, the pigment, and the filler to obtain the coating composition, the coating composition comprising from about 1.0 weight percent to about 5.0 weight percent pigment and being operable to form a coating layer on an inner surface of the at least a portion of the oilfield operational component, the coating layer operable to reduce damage to the oilfield component induced by flow of a fluid passing therethrough.
A method for preparing a coating composition for application to at least a portion of a fluid handling system component to reduce damage induced by the flow of a fluid therethrough, the method comprising:
- combining trifunctional silane, silanol fluid, titanium dioxide, and a filler;
- and
- mixing the trifunctional silane, the silanol fluid, the titanium dioxide, and the filler to obtain the coating composition, the coating composition operable to form a coating layer on an inner surface of the at least a portion of the system component, the coating layer operable to reduce damage to the system component induced by flow of a fracturing fluid passing therethrough, the fluid handling system component selected from the group consisting of a goat head, a fluid end, a frac iron, an elbow, a valve, a pump impeller, a seal, a pipeline, a pipeline segment, and a pipeline pump.
