DuPont presents innovative oil and gas solutions at ADIPEC 2008

DuPont will present comprehensive oil and gas solutions including clean technologies, high-performance materials, oil well productivity chemicals, personal protection equipment, pipeline solutions and safety management and consulting. DuPont will present two technical sessions at ADIPEC; "Benchmarking Safety through Safety Perception Surveys" and "The DuPont Experience in Sustainability - lessons learned".

DuPont also recently announced the official opening of its office in Abu Dhabi. This is the 2nd local office presence in the U.A.E. to address local customers, partners and distributors needs.

Andrew Holdsworth, Director, Middle East, stated:

"DuPont uses 206 years of science to form the backbone of its innovations. For us, science has to be relevant to the market-place. We are an innovation, technology driven science company, a company that turns progressively towards the future. Today, oil and gas industry is answering to the global challenge of oil shortages and this is where you can find DuPont science at work. We believe in possibilities. We believe in the power of science to dramatically improve people's lives—and protect the planet we all share. We are committed to provide solutions that exceed operational and safety objectives in the Middle East."

DuPont creates high performance oil and gas solutions that prevent pipe corrosion, materials to generate electricity from light, transformer insulation that doesn't burn, and chemicals that thoroughly treat waste.

"One DuPont, a strategic concept works together through an industry initiative offering integrated products and applications solutions to specific industries for example food, construction, transportation and oil & gas," said Anil Menon, Middle East Oil & Gas Industry Leader.

"The future of oil and gas is high tech. The days of easy oil are over. Today an increasing amount of technology requires extraction of oil in a way that remains affordable and sustainable. In the world of energy, there are hundreds of applications based on the innovation and science of DuPont. DuPont offers a wide range of highly specialized solutions, products and services to meet the unique challenges of the oil and gas and renewable energy businesses including oil and gas extractions, solar and wind energy, biofuels and wire and cable. Our strength is our ability to integrate DuPont science in ways that address the challenges of our partners," he said.

DuPont is known as the Innovator of most of the standard practices for coating pipe with epoxy used in the world today. DuPont has the most extensive portfolio of new coating technologies for oil and gas extraction. DuPont solutions for tubing, DuPont StreaMax, a coating system is used in downhole production tubulars that provides flow assurance and corrosion protection in extreme environments at a wide temperature range.

DuPont Zonyl fluorosurfactants used in oil field pumping applications helps reduce foaming and penetration. DuPont personal protection including DuPont Nomex, DuPont Tyvek, DuPont Tychem and DuPont Kevlar provide thermal, mechanical and chemical protection to the oil and gas workers while DuPont Safety Resources creates tailored solutions for production processes, refining and transportation facilities to the Oil & Gas industry. It provides energy companies with consulting on workplace safety and operational excellence to help achieve increased production and reduced incidents.

ADIPEC, one of the largest petroleum shows in the world will be participated by 1500 companies from 50 countries to showcase latest oil and gas extraction, production and distribution technologies, products and services. The exhibition will be dedicated to addressing Energy Resources and Technologies in 2030 attended by leading Gulf-based investors, producers, distributors, and government representatives to survey products and technologies that can help support the regional growth.
