Unconventional reservoirs demand unconventional strength. We provide the high-performance alloys and non-magnetic stainless steels required to maximize lateral lengths, withstand abrasive fracturing fluids, and ensure long-term reliability in the world’s most demanding onshore basins.

In the onshore market, profitability is driven by the speed of execution and the durability of your tools. Carpenter Technology’s specialty materials are engineered to lower your cost-per-foot and extend the service life of mission-critical drilling and production equipment.
In tool life for directional drilling components.
Premium-melted alloys that eliminate structural inclusions.
Distribution solutions that keep your rigs running 24/7.
High-strength alloys that handle the extreme torque and fatigue of extended-reach horizontal drilling.
Materials designed to withstand high-velocity fracturing proppants and corrosive completion fluids.
Proprietary metallurgy that maintains structural integrity under intense shock and vibration.
Low-permeability non-magnetic steels that ensure accurate data transmission from MWD/LWD tools.

Engineered to survive millions of cycles in rotating drill strings and mud motor power sections.
Formulated to perform in "sour" environments containing H2S and CO2.
Ideal for threaded connections and pump components subjected to constant friction.
Prevents catastrophic tool failure during high-impact drilling operations.
Our materials are specifically formulated for the mechanical and environmental stresses of unconventional oil and gas play.
Directional drilling places extreme requirements on tool strings. Our non-magnetic stainless steels provide the necessary signal transparency and mechanical strength for precise geosteering.
Field-proven performance in unconventional markets; high strength and chloride resistance.
Nitrogen-strengthened steel with 140 ksi yield strength for high-torque laterals.
Exceptional fatigue life and low magnetic permeability for precision sensing.
Fracturing equipment is subjected to high pressures and abrasive slurries. Our alloys ensure that valves, pumps, and completion tools last longer, even in aggressive environments.
Premium stainless steel with superior toughness and corrosion resistance.
A workhorse alloy providing the strength needed for high-pressure fluid ends.
Optimized for high-strength shafts in surface and downhole pumps.
Increase the efficiency of your drilling motor with materials designed for high-impact transmissions and rotors.
