PEEK (polyether ether ketone) Maximizing Efficiency:

As stated in the previous articles in this series, the oil and gas industry of today is focusing on three main challenges: minimizing environmental impact, finding new sources for depleting oil and gas resources, and maximizing efficiency. This third article in the series looks at how PEEK (polyether ether ketone) contributes to the continuing effort of engineers to maximize efficiency.

Conclusion: The Profitability of PEEK
Engineers in the oil and gas industry face a continuing challenge of searching for new sources in increasingly hostile environments, while at the same time trying to maximize the efficiency of the systems involved so that they can still make a profit. The judicious use of PEEK can help with all of these challenges. So, in short, if you are an oil or gas specialist looking for ways to improve your existing designs or for innovative solutions to include in new designs, dont forget to take a peek at PEEK.
