Abstract: A hydrocarbon monitoring cable including resistance to development of defects in a fiber optic core thereof. The core defect resistance may be in the form of resistance to defect causing agents of a downhole environment such as hydrogen. This may be obtained through the use of a carbon layer about the fiber optic core. However, in light of the differing coefficients of thermal expansion between such a carbon layer and an outer polymer jacket, an intermediate polymer layer of a third coefficient of thermal expansion may be disposed between the carbon and jacket layers. Thus, the intermediate polymer layer may be of a third coefficient of thermal expansion selected so as to avoid fiber optic defect causing thermal expansion from the downhole environment itself. Additionally, the monitoring cable may include an electrically conductive layer about the fiber optic core that is positively charged to repel other positively charged fiber optic defect causing agents of the downhole environment. Furthermore, a polymer-based absorbing layer for absorbing such defect causing agents may be disposed about the fiber optic core for protection.

Abstract: A motor winding wire. The motor winding wire may be configured for use in, and direct exposure to, a hydrocarbon environment. The motor winding wire may be electrically insulated by one polymer layer, whereas another, outer, polymer layer is employed to provide moisture resistance as well as other contaminant and hydrocarbon environment shielding to the underlying layer. Additionally, this manner of polymer layering over the motor winding wire is achieved in a manner cognizant of the limited dimension of the motor winding wire.

Abstract: Electrical cables formed from at least one insulated conductor, a layer of inner armor wires disposed adjacent the insulated conductor, and a layer of shaped strength members disposed adjacent the outer periphery of the first layer of armor wires. A polymeric material is disposed in interstitial spaces formed between the inner armor wires and the layer of shaped strength members, and the polymeric material is further disposed in interstitial spaces formed between the inner armor wire layer and insulated conductor. The polymeric material serves as a continuously bonded layer which also separates and encapsulates the armor wires forming the inner armor wire layer wire layer.

Abstract: A hydrocarbon application cable of reduced nylon with increased flexibility and useful life. The cable may be of a hose or solid configuration and particularly beneficial for use in marine operations. A power and data communicative core of the cable may be surrounded by a lightweight intermediate polymer layer of a given hardness which is ultimately then surrounded by an outer polymer jacket having a hardness that is greater than the given hardness. Thus, a lighter weight polymer is provided interior of the outer polymer jacket, which may be of nylon or other suitably hard material. As such, the overall weight and cost of the cable may be substantially reduced.

Abstract: A hydrocarbon application hose to avoid substantial compression and blow-out resulting from high pressurization differentials therethrough. The hose is formed from an inner tube that has a layer of material with electromagnetic target, such as carbon fiber, disbursed therethrough. In this manner, the material, generally a polymer, may be electromagnetically heated once the layer has been wrapped with a metallic reinforcing member. Thus, the layer of material may transform into surrounding relation relative to the reinforcing member. A substantially unitary inner tube may thereby be provided that includes a reinforcing member for blowout resistance and is of unitary character for compression resistance.
