Materials Engineering Research Laboratory Limited has announced the fifth 2-day international conference on Oilfield Engineering with Polymers, to be held in London, England, on 29–30th March 2006. The venue for the conference is the Institute of Physics conference centre, which is situated in the heart of the city of London and features modern lecture theatre and catering facilities.
Call for Papers
The oil industry seeks to operate in ever increasing remote and extreme environments whilst needing to maintain safety and reliability. For many applications involving polymeric components success is achieved with a combination of research and development, design, qualification and feedback from operational experience to inform future development.
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, reinjection of sour gas etc. These trends bring greater demands on the materials and components that are employed and a greater need for understanding material behaviour and limits.
The conference aims to bring together operators, contractors, equipment and component suppliers, materials suppliers and research organisations involved in the use of polymers in upstream oilfield. This is an excellent opportunity to network with experts in this field.
