The Company will highlight its comprehensive portfolio of energy and water solutions at SPE's Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition (ATCE)
Dubai, United Arab Emirates - The Dow Chemical Company (NYSE: DOW) will showcase its proven portfolio of solutions for oil and gas operations at SPE's (Society of Petroleum Engineers) flagship tradeshow - ATCE, organized for the first time in the Middle East. Dow's chemistry-based innovations for exploration, production and enhanced oil recovery will be highlighted at the show in addition to solutions for oil sands, shale gas and deep water drilling. During the tradeshow, Dow's technical experts will be on hand to demonstrate the capabilities of this broad portfolio to increase yields from existing reservoirs, tap into hard-to-reach reservoirs and meet the overarching need for well integrity and environmental care in today's volatile energy landscape.
Dow's portfolio has been further bolstered by the addition of silicone solutions from Dow Corning after a recent restructuring saw the silicone leader become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dow. Dow Corning is recognized as the pioneer and leader in the silicone-based materials industry and this transaction will bring together that leadership with the added power of Dow's operational excellence, global scale and reach, marketing strength and powerful innovation/R&D engine.
"For over four decades, Dow in the Middle East has been helping customers optimize supply, improve efficiencies and manage emissions by combining a world-class portfolio with localized expertise and unmatched service delivery," says Adriano Gentilucci, Commercial Director - IMEAT, Dow Oil, Gas & Mining. "The integration of Dow Corning's silicones offering has served to strengthen and complement our portfolio which will accelerate growth for our business as well as help us better equip our key regional customers in their efforts to stay ahead in a turbulent time for the industry".
Dow will highlight the following technologies on Stand #5207:
· EMBARK™ Products for a Range of Wellbore Construction Needs - Dow offers a range of EMBARK™ products to help drill, complete, and stimulate oil and gas wells in ways that protect both the bottom line and the environment.
· ACCENT™ Traditional and Traceable Scale Inhibitors that inhibit the formation of mineral scale associated with well pressure changes, water incompatibility and corrosion.
· AQUCAR™ Microbiocides to help control corrosion, optimize efficiency in extraction and help avoid the formation of H2S downhole
· DOW FILMTEC Reverse Osmosis and Nanofiltration Elements that deliver tailored composition water for reservoir injection.
