Overview
As the search for oil and gas moves farther offshore into deeper and more hostile environments, ensuring a reliable flow of product has become increasingly challenging. High pressures, cold temperatures and corrosive chemicals combine to increase viscosity and deposition, restricting flow – all while placing enormous demands on lines, risers and equipment.
To help you overcome the challenges of subsea and downhole conditions to establish flow assurance, 3M offers a variety of proven technologies designed to help keep your product – and your profits – flowing.
