Eternaloc® oil and gas connectors, feedthroughs and penetrators
Eternaloc® connectors give sensitive electronics a hermetic protective barrier against the extreme environment for oil and gas. These components enable highly reliable electrical power and signal transmission for the entire product lifetime, reducing the need for costly maintenance.The challenges for oil & gas equipment
- Downhole drilling and subsea operations occur in one of the harshest environments on Earth.
- Oil and gas drilling equipment must not only survive but also operate flawlessly and safely under extremely high pressure and temperature as well as high voltages.
- Subsea equipment requires a strong barrier against water, gas, and various downhole substances to prevent failures and accidents.
- Long-lifetime designs are critical because maintenance is extremely costly when equipment is deep underground or on the ocean floor
- Electrical connectors and packages can be a potential weak point. Durability is critical since any failure can disrupt operations and compromise performance.
