Asia Pacific demand for oil & gas continues to rise. At the same time, countries in the region are looking to upscale their productivity in oil and gas extraction and are keen to explore ways to optimise profitability and enhance the performance of their assets. Polymers for Oil & Gas Engineering is a new conference that will provide an international learning opportunity for companies looking to make use of new and innovative polymer materials. Taking place on 27-28 March 2019 in Kuala
Lumpur, the two-day conference will provide attendees with a focused understanding of the use and benefits of high performance polymers in oil & gas applications. This article previews some of the expert speakers sharing insight at the event. The first day of the conference will commence
with a review of the oil and gas industry delivered by Neil Mendes, CEO at Alpine Polytech in the US. This will include an overview of the industry for 2019 and how that will affect the polymer market. Next up is Harizal Abd Rahman, Senior Executive
48 PIPE & PROFILE EXTRUSION | January/February 2019
– Materials, Corrosion and Inspection Engineering at Petroliam Nasional Berhad (Petronas) in Malaysia, who will share some practical insight on bringing thermoplastics from the surface to downhole applications. He will be followed by Flavian Gathier, EOR Project Director at SNF in France, who will review polymer CEOR develop- ments and present some case studies from around the world. The challenges of using polymers to improve
recovery in complex oil field applications will be covered by Dr Raj Deo Tewari, Custodian RE at Petroliam Nasional Berhad (Petronas) in Malay- sia. David A Seiler, Senior Business Manager Industrial and Global Advisor Fluoropolymers at Arkema in the US, will deliver an examination of high performance polymers for oil & gas engineer- ing applications. Then Dr Geoff Small, Technology Manager Energy at Victrex, will explain why some PAEK polymers are more chemically resistant than others and what this means in practice.
