MATCOR to Present at The Bakken | Three Forks Shale Oil Innovation Conference & Expo
Chalfont, Pennsylvania (PRWEB) February 07, 2014 -- Mr. Huck’s presentation will take place on Wednesday, February 12, 2014 in Track 3: Logistics & Downstream Infrastructure, from 1:30 pm - 3:00 pm in Ballroom 1 at the Alerus Center. Visitors can view the full conference agenda here.
The rapidly expanding footprint of oil and gas infrastructure across the Bakken region is having a lasting impact on the economy and the landscape of the region. Properly protecting these investments from the ravages of corrosion is essential to maximize the economic usefulness of these assets and to avoid devastating environmental damage that can result from corrosion of pipelines, storage tanks, and well casings. Cathodic Protection is one of the surest and most cost effective means to halt corrosion activity and sustain the life of operating assets.
Mr. Huck’s presentation will discuss how cathodic protection works, the applications where cathodic protection is typically used, the common types of cathodic protection systems for these applications, and briefly discuss the regulations, testing and maintenance issues around cathodic protection.
“The Bakken region has experienced tremendous growth over the past few years, and we expect this growth to continue,” said Douglas Fastuca, president of MATCOR. “The need for Bakken exploration & production, midstream and terminal operators to properly protect their assets from corrosion will become increasingly important. MATCOR is in unique position to support these companies with a full set of corrosion and cathodic protection solutions.”
