The Oil & Gas Innovation Center’s annual Innovation Showcase finds promising technologies that can ‘cross over’ into the oil and gas industry. The Oil & Gas Innovation Centre is set up to address the specific technology needs of the petroleum industry. Technologies showcased are either commercially available or close to this threshold. The Oil & Gas Innovation Centre is owned and managed by petroleum industry professionals for the benefit of the global petroleum industry.
At the recent event, Cirrus received a strong endorsement as a specific solution to:
- Reduce wear-on down-hole components such as pumps, connections and pipes which suffer from abrasion from drilling mud, silica in the water and metal rods rubbing on the sides of the wells.
- Improve asset reliability & uptime, extending resource recovery.
Cirrus’s patented coatings and materials have wide applicability across many sectors and respond to drivers such as:
- Lifecycle Cost– Thin, durable Cirrus coating systems reduce metal use in components, slow damage, and extend the maintenance cycle of major plant and assets.
- Innovation – Cirrus materials and coatings are enabling new product capabilities and sustainable sourcing.
- Regulatory– Cirrus nano-composite coatings are a leading technology candidate for replacement of hexavalent chromium and cadmium.
