MERL specialises
in all aspects of non-metallic (polymeric) materials technology for
oil & gas applications. The use of polymers offshore for reasons
of cost, weight reduction and flexibility is increasing. At the same
time, operational demands are escalating - for example, higher pressures
and temperatures in deep water fields - raising the importance of
the materials selection/qualification process. With a design life
of 20 years common for downhole (HPHT) and subsea equipment, the
ability to control the acceleration of polymer performance in the
laboratory, for life prediction purposes, is a vital requirement. |

The MERL focus is always on the application requirements
and company staff can bring vast practical experience to bear on problem
solving, materials selection/qualification, modelling, etc. |
