Woods, President, International Pinpoint, will lead discussion on these topics: 1) “Economic Impact of Comprehensive Zonal Isolation Design during Hydraulic Fracturing of Cementless Completions”, with presenter, Yosafat Esquitin, Business Development Manager – Well Completions, Welltec. 2) “How Registered Biocides Protect Your Assets, Your People and Your Reservoir”, with presenter, Lynn Yakoweshen, Global Business Manager, Stepan Oilfield Solutions. 3) “How High Viscosity Friction Reducers Can Effectively Drive Down Hydraulic Fracturing Costs”, with presenter, Andrew Babey, Business Development Manager – Stimulation, Newpark Fluid Systems.

Whatever the level of difficulty of your well environment – in GoM with 20K offshore projects, in Brazil with complex offshore salt domes formations or in the Middle East with extreme sour and high pressure (15K) conditions – Vallourec supports you with a comprehensive tubular offer in high-strength sour service grades. With the decrease of oil prices, operators are further challenging us to push the technical limits in sour service materials by finding the most cost-effective solution that combines high-strength steels and good resistance to sulphide stress cracking (SSC). In this area, VM 110 XS grade has been developed for extreme sour service conditions (ppH2S> 15psi) with 110ksi Specified Minimum Yield Stress (SMYS). The limit is also being pushed further with the field-proven VM 125 SS grade and newly developed VM 125 ESS and VM 130 MS grades with even higher SMYS (125ksi and 130ksi) to be used in milder service conditions. During this webcast, Carine Landier will share the methodology necessary to qualify these materials for such critical conditions. The results so far will reflect both the performance of the new grades developed and the new challenges we face
