The Hardide-T coating was selected to provide a hard-wearing surface within DeltaTekâs SeaCure® ball drop subsea cementing system which delivers stabbed-in, inner string cementing for subsea wells. When compared to traditional methods, the system significantly reduces cement wastage, delivering substantial CO2 emission reductions.
The ball drop system requires a bespoke seat to be positioned at the bottom of the inner string within the latch in adaptor. This internal diameter restriction requires a hard-wearing surface to ensure no erosion or corrosion damage occurs while pumping cement.
James O Connor has been linked with a move to the Chiefs next year.
Rugby Australia and the Queensland Reds insist under-contract Wallabies star James O Connor will be plying his trade in Australia next year, and not for a New Zealand club in Super Rugby Aotearoa. An NZME report on Friday revealed O Connor was investigating the option of playing across the Tasman in 2021 and the 30-year-old s representatives had sounded out the Chiefs about lacing up his boots in Hamilton. The report said O Connor had harboured an ambition to test himself in “the world’s toughest domestic competition” next year. The news came as a major surprise to Queensland, however, given O Connor is contracted to the Reds and Rugby Australia until the end of 2021 and, furthermore, is a central part of coach Brad Thorn s plans for next year and beyond. The Reds have let rising playmakers Noah Lolesio and Carter Gordon move south in recent years.
