Amidst continuously rising global energy demand, shale oil, as a crucial unconventional oil and gas resource, has its extraction efficiency and operational safety directly impacting energy supply stability. Fracturing technology is the core process of shale oil extraction, and fracturing hoses, as key carriers for high-pressure media transportation, directly determine the success or failure of fracturing operations. Litong Fluid Technology's 6" 15000psi fracturing hose, with its core advantage of precise adaptation to shale oil extraction conditions, has become the industry's preferred equipment for high-pressure transportation scenarios, providing a solid guarantee for efficient shale oil development.

 

Shale oil reservoirs are characterized by low porosity and low permeability, requiring the injection of proppant-containing fracturing fluid into the ground using high-pressure fracturing technology to create fractures and facilitate oil and gas flow. This process places extreme demands on fracturing hoses: on the one hand, fracturing operations require the injection of large volumes of fracturing fluid, necessitating hoses with sufficient diameter; on the other hand, fracturing pressures typically reach tens of thousands of psi, and the fracturing fluid contains corrosive and abrasive media such as acidic agents and proppant, making the hoses prone to wear, leakage, and even rupture over long-term operation.

 

Simultaneously, shale oil extraction often involves complex environments such as the field and ocean, requiring hoses to possess pressure resistance, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and lightweight properties for easy on-site deployment and frequent relocation. The 6" 15000psi fracturing hose was developed specifically to address these pain points. Its 6-inch large diameter meets the demand for high-flow-rate delivery, and its ultra-high pressure rating of 15000psi (approximately 1034MPa) adapts to extreme pressure environments, making it a core piece of equipment for solving the transportation challenges of shale oil extraction.

 

 

The core competitiveness of this fracturing hose stems from its targeted technical design and material innovation. Structurally, it adopts a composite structure of "UPE ultra-wear-resistant inner liner + multi-layer steel wire winding reinforcement layer + weather-resistant outer rubber layer": The UPE inner liner has superior wear resistance, with a wear resistance index 3-5 times that of ordinary materials, resisting the high-speed erosion of proppant in fracturing fluid. Its high saturation also isolates it from acidic and alkaline media corrosion, solving the problems of corrosion and short lifespan of traditional hoses. The multi-layer steel wire winding reinforcement layer uses a precision braiding process to ensure that the hose does not deform or burst under 15000psi ultra-high pressure, and achieves a constant diameter design to ensure smooth fracturing fluid delivery and avoid pressure loss.

 

In terms of practical performance, the product continues the lightweight advantage of Litong oil drilling hoses. Compared to traditional heavy-duty hoses, it is easier to drag, connect, and retrieve on-site, reducing construction intensity and time costs. The outer rubber layer uses weather-resistant synthetic rubber, which can withstand the challenges of sun exposure, rain, and alternating high and low temperatures in the field environment of shale oil extraction, and is suitable for a working temperature range of -40℃ to 120℃, ensuring stable operation under different climatic conditions.

 

 

In the entire shale oil fracturing operation process, 6" The 15,000 psi fracturing hose plays an irreplaceable role in critical stages. During fracturing fluid injection, its 6-inch large diameter enables high-flow-rate and efficient delivery of fracturing fluid and proppant, meeting the large-scale fracturing needs of shale oil reservoirs and improving operational efficiency. Facing the dual effects of corrosive components such as hydrochloric acid and guar gum in fracturing fluids and proppant such as quartz sand, the hose's wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant properties effectively extend its service life, reduce replacement frequency, and lower maintenance costs.

 

In the flowback fluid handling stage, this hose can easily handle the delivery of flowback fluids containing oil and chemicals, avoiding leakage risks caused by media corrosion and ensuring a safe working environment. Addressing common pain points in shale oil extraction such as high-pressure leaks and hose bursts, this product has undergone rigorous pressure testing and quality control, achieving low-failure operation in practical applications. Referring to the application experience of Litong in Middle Eastern oil extraction projects, similar products can achieve a stable monthly usage of 20,000 meters, completely solving the reliability problems of traditional hoses.

 

 

6" The reliable performance of Litong's 15,000 psi fracturing hose stems from 18 years of technological accumulation and rigorous quality control. The product has passed API 7K certification, API Q1 quality management system certification, and ABS product design approval from the American Petroleum Institute, fully complying with international safety standards for shale oil extraction. Leveraging 160 specialized equipment facilities, a 400-person professional technical team, and 31 related patented technologies, the company achieves full-process control from raw material procurement and production processing to finished product testing, ensuring that every meter of hose meets design performance requirements.

 

As an industry benchmark recognized as one of the "Top Ten Hose Companies in China" for eight consecutive years, Litong's products have been successfully supplied to leading domestic companies such as CNOOC and exported to more than 20 countries and regions, including the United States and Australia, accumulating rich application cases in global shale oil extraction projects. Its core values ​​of "integrity first, customer first" ensure stable performance of products under extreme operating conditions, creating long-term value for customers.

 

 

With the trend of shale oil extraction moving towards deeper and larger-scale operations, the 6" 15000psi fracturing hose, with its core advantages of large diameter, ultra-high pressure, and wear and corrosion resistance, has become a key piece of equipment for solving the challenges of transporting fluids under harsh operating conditions. It not only improves the efficiency and safety of shale oil fracturing operations but also drives the upgrading and iteration of unconventional oil and gas extraction equipment through technological innovation.

 

In the future, as Litong Fluid Technology continues to advance its development strategy of "originality-led, rooted in excellence," this fracturing hose will be continuously optimized and upgraded, providing more efficient and reliable fluid transport solutions for global shale oil extraction, injecting strong momentum into ensuring energy security and promoting high-quality development of the energy industry.
