GDEP launches Redline+ Packing

GD Energy Products (GDEP), solutions provider for the frac, drilling and well servicing market, has launched its new Redline+ Packing sealing system featuring new materials and enhanced geometry to optimise performance in the harshest of hydraulic fracturing environments

Proven in the field to deliver longer life and reduced downtime, Redline+ Packing has demonstrated a significant improvement in packing performance life over GDEP’s standard Redline Packing. The patent-pending geometry improves sand exclusion and includes fortified materials guaranteed to reduce the risk of packing bore wash. Redline+ Packing also features a refined material makeup, delivering longer product life and increased heat and abrasion resistance in high-pressure environments.

Strong performance in challenging environments

In the most challenging basins, Redline+ Packing pumped over 160 million pounds of sand prior to failure, while also reducing operational downtime. During a 12-week field trial in the Haynesville Basin at pressures up to 12,500 PSI, Redline+ Packing increased performance life on average by more than two times over standard Redline and extended maintenance intervals by 45%.

Jim Yanus, engineering director, GDEP, said, “Redline+ Packing is GDEP’s latest addition to our Redline Series Consumables and was established in collaboration with our customers to deliver an even higher level of performance and consistency to their operations. Field trials have proven an increase in life expectancy and endurance across any condition in the field.”

Redline+ Packing is available for both GDEP and competitor frac fluid end designs.
