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.

This case study outlines how a leading oil and gas producer partnered with ABB to implement Ethernet-connected Coriolis meters to efficiently automate compliance verification in response to regulatory demands. The results reduced cost and created operational efficiencies by streamlining of data acquisition, reducing manpower hours, and enhancing operational insights for timely and effective decision making.

The hidden dangers of corrosion under insulation (CUI) and chloride stress corrosion cracking (CSCC) are especially prevalent on assets used in the production of liquified natural gas. However, newer liquid coatings offer facilities the opportunity to mitigate corrosion far longer than previous options, helping owners extend coating maintenance schedules, reduce operational costs and enhance safety. Learn more about these advanced CUI-mitigation solutions in this informative paper.

In 2022 XTO completed the implementation of cloud-based MuddyBoots.online as their field measurement solution for managing over 20,000 meters. Following two years of project scoping, product evaluation, and a successful pilot project, XTO Energy, a subsidiary of ExxonMobil, has completed the implementation of Muddy Boots as their field measurement solution used by over 200 technicians across all XTO assets. The Case Study discusses XTO’s path to selecting Muddy Boots, as well as the success of their rollout project.

Offshore and onshore facilities in the oil and gas industry must protect workers from burns using physical barriers or insulation systems. Physical barriers are costly and obstructive, while insulation systems risk corrosion under insulation (CUI) if wet. Thermal insulative coatings (TICs), such as Heat-Flex® 7000, offer an effective alternative, providing burn protection, reducing CUI risk, and maintaining process heat. Heat-Flex 7000 meets OSHA guidelines, resists moisture, and enhances safety without the drawbacks of traditional methods.
