Crimped Centralizer Solution Enables Record Length Casing Runs in ERD Wells
October 16, 2025
Sponsored by: Volant
Longer Extended Reach Drilling (ERD) wells pose casing running challenges, especially in laterals beyond 3 miles, commanding more rig time and adding complexity. As opportunities for gains in drilling performance plateau, possibilities remain to implement more effective and efficient casing running techniques that can reduce flat time, maintain casing and connection integrity, and enable successful casing runs to total depth (TD).
Enhancing Pipeline Girth Weld Coating Efficiencies with Low-Application Temperature (LAT) Powder Coatings
October 07, 2025
Sponsored by: Sherwin-Williams
Low-Application Temperature (LAT) Fusion-Bonded Epoxies (FBE) improve pipeline girth weld coating efficiencies. Keymay Industries adopted Sherwin-Williams Pipeclad® 2000 LAT, allowing for coatings at lower temperatures. This innovation reduces energy costs, lowers emissions, and enhances application consistency. With over 50,000 successful applications and a repair rate of less than 1%, Keymay has significantly benefited from this advanced coating technology.
Challenges and Opportunities During the Transformation Process in the Petrochemical Industry
September 01, 2025
Sponsored by: Evonik
Europe’s petrochemical industry faces structural pressures: stagnant demand, cost disadvantages and rising decarbonization demands due to the EU Green Deal. Heavy reliance on naphtha has reduced competitiveness, while geopolitical issues expose energy vulnerabilities. Yet, integration and co-product utilization remain strengths. Evonik Oxeno’s C4-Verbund network exemplifies this resilience, turning by-products into value, securing supply chains and enhancing the robustness of value chains. Future European competitiveness hinges on cost-reduction, feedstock innovation, carbon-smart investments and collaboration across value chains.
