Imigqa yokulawula imigodi ye-Meilong Tube isetshenziswa ngokuyinhloko njengamapayipi okuxhumana emishini yokudonsa amanzi asebenza ngaphansi kwamanzi kuwoyela, igesi, nemithombo yokujova amanzi, lapho kudingeka ukuqina nokumelana nezimo ezinzima kakhulu.Le migqa ingalungiselelwa inhlobonhlobo yezinhlelo zokusebenza kanye nezingxenye ze-downhole.
Zonke izinto ezihlanganisiwe zizinzile nge-hydrolytically futhi zihambisana nawo wonke uketshezi olujwayelekile lokuqeda kahle, okuhlanganisa negesi enomfutho ophezulu.Ukukhethwa kwezinto kusekelwe ezimisweni ezihlukahlukene, okuhlanganisa izinga lokushisa elingaphansi kwe-bottomhole, ubulukhuni, amandla aqinile nokudabula, ukumuncwa kwamanzi kanye nokungena kwegesi, i-oxidation, nokuhuzuka kanye nokumelana namakhemikhali.
Imigqa yokulawula ithuthuke kakhulu, okuhlanganisa ukuhlolwa kokuchotshozwa kanye nokulingisa kahle kwe-autoclave enengcindezi ephezulu.Ukuhlolwa kokuchotshozwa kwaselabhorethri kubonise ukwanda kokulayisha lapho amashubhu ahlanganisiwe angagcina ubuqotho bokusebenza, ikakhulukazi lapho kusetshenziswa khona “izintambo ezinkulu” zochungechunge lwezintambo.
