As the oil and gas industry continues to push boundaries of efficiency and sustainability, innovative materials and technologies have emerged to transform traditional practices. One such area gaining attention is the application of non-metallic composite tubulars in downhole well drilling and workover operations. This session invites experts from academia, research institutions, and industry leaders to present their latest findings, experiences, and insights into the development, testing, and deployment of these game-changing solutions.

Non-metallic composites offer significant advantages over conventional steel pipes, including reduced weight, increased corrosion resistance, improved durability, and enhanced thermal insulation properties. These benefits can lead to substantial cost savings, extended equipment lifespan, and minimized environmental impact. However, challenges remain in scaling up production, ensuring compatibility with existing infrastructure, and addressing regulatory hurdles.

This session aims to address these gaps through presentations that highlight recent advances, field trials, case studies, and lessons learned in applying non-metallic composite tubulars across various aspects of downhole operations, including but not limited to:

• Materials science and engineering innovations
• Manufacturing processes and scalability
• Performance evaluation under extreme conditions (e.g., high pressure, temperature)
• Corrosion behavior and degradation mechanisms
• Compatibility assessments with cementing systems, packers, and other completion components
• Field trial results and real-world implementations
• Regulatory frameworks and standards updates

Attendees will gain valuable knowledge on the current state-of-the-art, future directions, and collaborative opportunities driving this transformative technology forward.
