Conferences, Exhibitions and Committees
MERL actively participate in a variety of public events
to promote the research work performed within the company and help
steer current
research programmes, via various scientific committees. MERL are the
technical
organisers of the “Oilfield Engineering with Polymers” conference,
held approximately every 2-3 years in London, starting in 1996.

MERL Oilfield Engineering with Polymers
2010 provides an international forum for oilfield
operators and their suppliers to meet and discuss the latest developments
in application requirements
and materials R&D.
Elastomers, thermoplastics, thermosets and composite
materials play a vital role in many critical applications in the
oilfield such as:
- coatings
- insulation
- pipes (bonded and flexible)
- hoses
- seals
- flexible joints and bearings
- inflatable tools
- umbilicals
- risers
- blow out preventers
etc.
The industry
challenge
is to operate
safely and reliably in increasingly remote
and hostile environments. Key to this
is research and development, design, qualification
and operational experience.
