Upstream Applications

Performance and durability are vital components of exploration and extraction activities. Wm. F. McGraw & Co. makes components to endure heavy pressures and corrosive elements. Our materials make safe and efficient extractions possible and extend the life and reliability of our critical systems.

Exploration & Extraction

  • We fabricate parts for drill rigs – We fabricate custom parts for mud pumps, rotary tables, and top drives. Our polymers for oilfield applications are specially designed for accuracy and strength to help reduce failure in high-stress areas of your equipment. Each part will be customized to fit your application and provide a long service life.   
  • High-strength materials for downhole tools – The environment downhole requires materials capable of tolerating both abrasive materials and high pressures. Our oilfield polymer solutions and thermoset composites all have high tensile strength and excellent dimensional stability, suitable for downhole tools such as drill collars, stabilizers, and directional drilling.  
  • Wear-resistant components for severe service conditions – We manufacture and supply components with advanced wear properties, using thermal-resistant oilfield service materials that will help combat corrosion, erosion, and mechanical fatigue. Our composites increase the service life of your drilling equipment offshore and onshore, reducing downtime and maintenance costs.

 

Well Completion

  • Insulating materials for electrical components– In electrically sensitive operations, especially MWD (measurement while drilling) and LWD (logging while drilling) tools, it is important to install insulation. We provide composite insulation for oil and gas, which maintains dielectric strength and is thermally and chemically stable.
  • Structural components for fracturing tools– Fracturing tools must sustain both internal and external stressors. We provide the industry with chemical-resistant composites for mandrels, valves, and pressure housings – lightweight but rigid structural components that function under cyclical load and high impact.

Midstream Applications

The midstream sector demands material solutions that offer durability, flexibility, and environmental resistance. Our fabricated materials support safe transportation and storage across the pipeline infrastructure, maintaining integrity in extreme operating environments.

Transportation

  • Composite materials for pipeline supports
     We fabricate pipeline supports and guides from thermoset composites that resist corrosion and maintain strength over long distances. These materials offer excellent load-bearing capacity and reduce maintenance in outdoor and marine settings.
  • Insulation for cryogenic LNG transport
     LNG systems require stable insulation across extreme cold conditions. Our composite insulation for oil and gas applications provides reliable thermal protection, helping reduce energy loss and protect against thermal shock during loading, transport, and offloading.

Storage

  • Thermoplastic liners for storage tanks
     Storage tanks are exposed to corrosive chemicals and fluctuating temperatures. We fabricate thermoplastic liners that provide a barrier against chemical attack and help maintain the structural integrity of steel or concrete tanks.
  • Structural components for storage infrastructure
     Supporting infrastructure like skids, platforms, and containment walls benefits from our chemical-resistant composites. These lightweight, high-strength parts reduce installation time and resist wear in caustic storage conditions, offering a safe and lasting solution.

Downstream Applications

Downstream operations involve extreme heat, harsh chemicals, and continuous processing. Our materials ensure equipment performance and system safety across refineries, petrochemical plants, and distribution facilities.

Refining & Processing

  • Heat-resistant materials for processing equipment
     Our thermal-resistant oil and gas materials protect heat exchangers, reactors, and burners from degradation. Designed for high thermal conductivity and oxidative stability, they keep processes running efficiently in high-temperature zones.
  • Chemical-resistant composites for harsh environments
     Exposure to solvents, acids, and hydrocarbons can degrade standard materials quickly. Our chemical-resistant composites maintain integrity in aggressive media, offering long service life in vessels, piping, and secondary containment systems.
  • Insulation solutions for high-temperature operations
     Maintaining energy efficiency in refineries is essential. We fabricate composite insulation for oil and gas systems that prevent heat loss and protect workers from hot surfaces. Our materials are suitable for pipes, towers, and process lines.

Distribution

  • Durable materials for distribution infrastructure
     Pump stations, terminals, and transfer lines require reliable materials that last. Our industrial polymers for oil and gas operations offer UV resistance, dimensional stability, and load support across varied climatic zones.

Insulating components for electrical systems

Power distribution in downstream facilities requires materials that resist arc flash and chemical exposure. We fabricate insulating bushings, housings, and covers using high-performance oilfield polymers with superior dielectric properties.

Material Capabilities

Wm. F. McGraw & Co. offers a wide selection of materials for the oil and gas sector. We specialize in thermoset composites and thermoplastics tailored for durability, thermal performance, and chemical resistance. Our team works closely with clients to select the right material for every application.

Thermoset Composites

  • High mechanical strength and thermal stability
     Our thermoset composites are reinforced with glass or carbon fibers, providing exceptional strength for load-bearing applications. These materials retain shape and performance even at high temperatures, making them ideal for structural components.
  • Suitable for structural and insulating applications
     They’re non-conductive, corrosion-resistant, and lightweight, ideal for both insulation and mechanical use. Used in flanges, housings, and pipeline supports, these materials extend equipment lifespan in the toughest environments.

Thermoplastics

  • Chemical resistance and flexibility
     Our thermoplastics offer broad chemical compatibility and formability. Commonly used for liners, seals, and protective coatings, they maintain shape without cracking or softening when exposed to hydrocarbons and solvents.
  • Ideal for liners, seals, and insulating components
     From tank linings to control panel insulation, thermoplastics provide reliable protection across upstream, midstream, and downstream facilities. They are easy to process and adaptable for custom shapes and sizes.

Elastomeric Materials

  • Excellent sealing properties
     Our elastomeric materials deliver flexible, reliable sealing across dynamic systems. They conform to irregular surfaces and maintain contact under compression, critical for maintaining pressure and preventing leaks.
  • Resistant to a wide range of temperatures and chemicals
     Formulated for thermal extremes and chemical exposure, these materials hold their physical properties in demanding oil and gas environments. They are ideal for seals, gaskets, and vibration dampeners.
