A team of Dow Corning experts presented specialized solutions for the
toughest oil and gas industry challenges this week at the 2009 Offshore
Technology Conference (OTC 2009) held on May 4-7 in Houston, Texas.
“As the world works to satisfy growing energy needs, offshore drilling has
become increasingly important,” said Phil Grellier, global strategic marketing
manager for Dow Corning’s MRO (maintenance, repair and operations) market.
“From salty platforms to dusty oilfields, Dow Corning has a long history of
providing sealant and lubricant solutions specially formulated to protect
equipment and guard against corrosion under extreme conditions.”
Among the solutions presented by the Dow Corning team were
Molykote® brand specialty lubricants from Dow Corning, which include
greases, pastes, anti-friction coatings and silicone compounds that provide
equipment protection and corrosion prevention. Molykote® solutions help oil and
gas customers achieve the highest levels of equipment productivity and
operation reliability with the lowest levels of service downtime and repair
expense.

pipelines, Dow Corning® brand silicone sealants seal seams,
joints and flanges with unparalleled performance and flexibility. Under extreme
temperature conditions and in contact with fuels and chemicals, silicone
sealants from Dow Corning add reliability by reducing seepage, leaks and
equipment downtime.
“Dow Corning is proud to support the innovation and exploration of oilfield
engineers as we seek energy solutions to power our world for generations to
come,” added Grellier.
