The Emergence of Thermoplastic Composites in the Transition to Clean Energy

April 12, 2022 |

As the oil and gas industry moves to a cleaner future, the innovation and complex problem-solving capabilities of composites offer a distinct advantage over more traditional materials, and are better for the environment.

The adoption of thermoplastic composites has proven to be a significant value add in traditional oil and gas operations, including well characterization, drilling, and production and completion operations. As this industry moves to a cleaner future, the innovation and complex problem-solving capabilities of composites offer a distinct advantage over more traditional materials, and are better for the environment. Trelleborg Sealing Solutions Albany, formerly Automated Dynamics, has been an expert in composite parts manufacturing for the past 30 years through automated fiber placement technology. Servicing a wide variety of industries, including traditional oil and gas, we now see a significant shift as the global economy progresses to cleaner and renewable energy sources. In this webinar, they will look at how their composites thought leadership in oil and gas applications is helping to accelerate the movement to clean energy.

Agenda:

  • Where are Trelleborg's parts used today in oilfield applications?
  • What is the potential to use Trelleborg's expertise in clean energy?
  • Where will Trelleborg's thought leadership be needed in the future of clean energy?
