February 1, 2018

KULPSVILLE, Pa.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Greene, Tweed & Co. developed a customized connector solution that
greatly improved the performance of AccessESP’s rigless electrical
submersible pump (ESP) system.


AccessESP, a Houston-based provider of ESP conveyance solutions for the
global oil industry, developed a through tubing retrieval technology
that provides quick and easy ESP installation and retrieval using
slickline, wireline, or coiled tubing.

Greene, Tweed combined its proprietary materials portfolio with
engineering and design expertise to meet AccessESP’s demanding
reliability management initiative and electrical requirements.

Greene, Tweed’s Seal-Connect® solution combined its high-performance
materials, including Arlon® 1000, Arlon® 3000 XT, and Chemraz® 629.
Arlon® 3000 XT provides:

  • Improved volume resistivity 30 times that of PEK at 400°F (204°C)
  • Dielectric strength measured at 730 V/mil in ASTM D149 testing
  • Improved mechanical properties when compared to PEEK and PEK at 500°F
    (260°C)

“We continue to be pleased with Greene, Tweed’s proposed Seal-Connect®
solution for the connector assembly,” said David Malone, AccessESP CEO.
“This connector provided us with the required performance in order to
guarantee a long and safe life with extremely high levels of
