Applied Market Information Ltd and the Materials Engineering Research Laboratory Ltd are pleased to announce the sixth 2-day international conference on Oilfield Engineering with Polymers, to be held in London, England, on 7–8th October 2008. The venue for the conference is the Cavendish Conference Centre, situated in the heart of London with state of the art facilities.
Elastomers, thermoplastics, thermosets and composite materials play a vital role in many critical applications in the oilfield such as coatings, insulation, pipes (bonded and flexible), hoses, seals, flexible joints and bearings, inflatable tools, umbilicals, risers, blow out preventers etc. The industry challenge is to operate safely and reliably under a wide range of operational and environmental conditions. Key to this is research and development, design, qualification and operational experience.
Rigs are being built in increasingly hostile conditions. Industry trends include an increasing number of sub-sea completions for deep and ultra deep water, increasing temperatures and pressures downhole, a growing market for liquid natural gas (LNG), new drilling fluids and reinjection of sour gas. These trends bring greater demands on the materials and components that are employed and a greater need for understanding material behaviour and limits.
Papers are invited on a variety of topics including operational experience, new materials, applications and operating conditions, insulation systems, sealing materials and seal performance, qualification test methods (e.g. NORSOK M-710), material durability and lifetime assessment, materials for high and low temperature extremes, sour fluid handling, repair and maintenance, standards and regulatory requirements, market trends in Oilfield Engineering.
MERL is an independent British company founded in 1986, providing contract research, physical testing, computational modelling and consultancy services in materials science and engineering to oil & gas and other industries.
Oilfield Engineering with Polymers 2008 aims to bring together operators, contractors, equipment and component suppliers, materials suppliers and research organisations involved in the use of polymers in upstream oilfield operations.
