Tubing Encapsulated Cable is the answer to the challenges of harsh environmental conditions associated with the recovery of oil and gas through reservoir management.
Tubing Encapsulated Cable uses welded stainless steel and nickel alloy tubing to protect electrical and optical components from the pressure and corrosive effects of the downhole environment. Polymeric encapsulation provides additional mechanical protection.
