Company Profile

PolyOil Limited was formed in February 2000 by bringing together various individuals with unique strengths from the polymer industry and combining these with oilfield application expertise. The company is committed to bring modern plastics to everyday oilfield use by developing product with the pursuit of reducing friction and wear to yield higher tubular performance downhole. Initially the company was able to introduce its first product the PolyOil PolyGuider Centraliser. Other friction reducing product ranges have since been designed as well as some special application products, which have been developed for specific client applications.

The company has a pedigree of polymer expertise as well as practical experience of heavy industry material application which goes back over 30 years. PolyOil is dedicated in bringing modern materials technology to the drilling and completions sector of the industry where friction, wear and inferior materials can lead to lost time or failure. The product is designed to optimise the chances of success in tubular running and at a competitive price too. The company is dynamic and flexible and can look at complete engineered solutions using advanced engineering polymers downhole.

Objectives

Our objective is to develop specific application products using our unique understanding and experience of polymer technology and allied to oil production knowledge from within our staff, to then create commercially available products in standard and specials ranges to meet the ever-increasing quest for product improvement.

Quite often newer technology companies are formed from “oilfield only expertise”, where the great ideas and concepts are often developed and formed through “learning the new art” and attempting to apply this (often by trial and error) to suit the application. This can be risky, costly and unfortunately, often result in failures. However in the case of Polyoil, the concept was based on taking polymer expertise first then adding the oilfield application expertise to this to be able to formulate the best materials, designs and manufacturing methods to make the product.

The company has a polymer chemist, one of the industries leading applications specialists, oilfield expertise and is partnered with one of Europe’s largest “heavy industry” polymer engineering manufacturing companies. This gives full access to all major material grades and the facilities include several moulding techniques, extrusion and machining facilities. Although tied in closely to this 50,000 sq.ft. manufacturing facility, PolyOil are free to draw on expertise from other sections of the polymer industry where this is appropriate.
