Offshore Innovations: Powering The Oil & Gas Industry with Polymers
Enhancing your technology with Engineered Solutions
In the demanding world of Oil & Gas, stakeholders and technology producers assess many factors to launch a project. For each project to be delivered successfully, the subsea pipeline equipment performance is vital.
Whether our clients are involved in shallow or deep-water pipeline installation, drilling, well construction, product extraction, deep water exploration, or asset maintenance, the need is ever evolving. Therefore, we collaborate with key market influencers to enhance technological performance and efficiencies, focusing on safety, minimising risk, reducing downtime and maintenance needs, and reducing equipment weight.
The Nylacast team is split between the three brand solutions:
- Nylacast Engineered Products: Cast Nylon and other engineering Polymer solutions
