1 3M Oil and Gas Today s Answers Tomorrow s Breakthroughs 3

2 3M serves customers in over 30 oil and gas producing regions around the world. Improving performance in challenging applications Fifty years ago, 3M earned its place in an oil and gas application for the first time. Today, nearly 10,000 3M products and materials are specified into every corner of the industry from exploration, production and refining to transportation and marketing. 3M can provide the answers you need today and we are continually aligning our technologies to your needs in innovative ways, to help you stay productive and profitable in the years to come. 3M Glass Bubbles offer high strength and low thermal conductivity. These inert particles are compatible with all other components of pipeline and riser insulating systems, including polyurethane, polypropylene and epoxy. Scotch High Strength Filament Reinforced Tapes are used to contain the steel bands or wires used for armoring flexible flow-lines, risers and umbilicals during the manufacturing process. Buoyancy and Insulation As the search for oil and gas moves farther offshore, there is an increasing need for materials that can survive and perform in extreme subsea environments. 3M Glass Bubbles have proven their reliability in adverse conditions, for applications such as reducing weight and increasing uplift of buoyancy modules and for enhancing thermal insulation properties in risers and pipelines.

Few polymers can survive the harsh conditions encountered in off-shore drilling and production. Dyneon, a 3M subsidiary, has a wide range of fluoropolymers and fluoroelastomers that can operate in temperatures ranging from -40 C to 260 C and provide outstanding chemical resistance to a variety of chemicals. One example is Dyneon PVDF, an ideal material for tubing and piping Increasing applications requiring excellent mechanical properties. production in extreme environments 2

3 Well Stimulation A variety of 3M technologies are being put to work to enhance recovery and extend the useful life of wells in challenging and marginal applications such as gas condensates, heavy oils and oil sands. One such enabling technology is 3M Controlled Delivery Fracturing Additive, which uses microencapsulation to deliver liquid breaker chemical precisely where and when it s needed without leaving unwanted solids behind. Research is also underway to develop foaming agents and other materials used in hydraulic fracturing. Low Density Cementing Improved production, less remediation, reduced formation damage and better zonal isolation are just some of the advantages 3M Glass Bubbles offer over conventional density-reducing materials such as nitrogen foam and cenospheres. In addition, they are easier to use, and help you achieve more predictable, consistent results. Low Density Drilling Fluids Drilling fluids/muds made with 3M Glass Bubbles, instead of by aeration, are so predictable that at-balance or near-balanced drilling can be used even in sensitive strata, without significant risk to the formation. 3M glass bubbles provide an incompressible, singlephase fluid one with simple, predictable hydraulics able to survive downhole pressures as high as 18,000 psi. 3M glass bubbles are non-volatile, stable additives that provide drilling muds with durable low density properties, both during and after a drilling job. Muds formulated with 3M glass bubbles can potentially be re-used on multiple neighboring wells where low density drilling is required. 3

4 Clean Extinguishing Agent Fire Barriers Reflective Materials Safety & Security Film Safety Matting & Treads Facility Safety Fires, spills, equipment breakdowns and accidents can result in lost production and expose your company to certain liability issues. 3M offers a broad range of products engineered to safeguard your facilities and equipment, that helping to minimize the risk of injury and disruption of operations.
