Tapping into our many technologies to meet your many needs.
Protecting people and their environmentIn 1972, we introduced the fi rst NIOSH-approved disposable fi ltering facepiece respirator
and the fi rst disposable earplug. Today, 3M is a global leader when it comes to safety
and protective equipment. We understand the importance of safeguarding the health and
well-being of employees in hazardous working conditions, so we partner with you to help
protect your workers and their environment with reliable, high-performance solutions.
Active and passive fi re protection
With over 30 years of fi re protection
experience, our solutions provide
superior refi nery security and
outstanding performance in
high-intensity fi res by protecting
your most critical assets, including
critical electrical circuitry, structural
components and vessel skirts. Enjoy
increased safety and peace of mind
knowing your employees and assets
are protected with 3M products.
Welding safety
We noticed that welders in Swedish
shipyards had to constantly fl ip their
helmets up and down, which inspired
us to develop 3M™ Speedglas™ that
allows welders to see safely and clearly
with continuous protection. Since then,
we’ve been developing products that
answer the welding challenges you face.
Hearing protection and
communications solutions
3M is recognized as a global leader in
worker safety issues. We understand
the risks associated with working in
high-noise environments. So we’ve
developed a comprehensive line of
active and passive hearing solutions
to address detection, protection and
validation for oil and gas applications.
Upstream Exploration and Production
3M is passionate about providing
products and technologies that
signifi cantly improve the health
and safety of rig workers throughout
the oil and gas ecosystem.
MidstreamTransportation and Storage
Our inspiration to develop new products
to promote safer lives and more comfort
on and off the job comes from you.
Using your challenges as a starting point,
we have developed uncompromising
protection with a full portfolio of all-in-one
welding protection products specifi cally
designed for superior viewing, comfort
and reliability for your highly demanding
environments.
DownstreamRefi ning and Processing
The devastating effects of a refi nery
fi re can include worker injuries, lost
production and exposure to liability.
3M Fire Protection Products help
mitigate fi re spread, providing
additional time for fi re control
and evacuation.
Extending the life of critical assetsOil and gas is an industry built of steel, from well head to gas pump, with
corrosion, abrasion and weathering taking place everywhere, every day.
We invented Fusion- Bonded Epoxy pipe coatings to protect steel pipe over
60 years ago and continue to work with customers to develop solutions that
help critical infrastructure run smoothly and become stronger for future
innovation and progress.
Electrical splices and terminations
The conventional sealing solution of
heat shrink material typically requires
the application of open fl ames — a
serious safety concern in petrochemi-
cal facilities. Cold shrink technology
from 3M offers a safe alternative that
avoids exposure to direct fl ame and
delivers highly reliable long-term
performance — even in extremely
harsh environments.
Epoxy and urethane coatings
3M epoxy and urethane coatings are
engineered to perform. An oil company
required a coating for their 260-km
pipeline project that could withstand
local transportation and installation
over hot, rocky terrain. 3M’s dual layer
pipe coating systems provided high
impact resistance and fl exibility to suit
their terrain, while providing them a more
environmentally friendly solution than the
local alternatives.
Ceramic sand screens and bearings
Sand can present a major obstacle
to well production by creating
accelerated wear for assets. Under-
standing these challenges, 3M teamed
with oil operators to develop a new sand
control device that replaces wire with
advanced ceramic rings able to withstand
erosional forces more effectively and
extend asset life by preventing sand
from entering the system for a longer
period of time.
Upstream Exploration and Production
Oil operations involve conditions that
can challenge the toughest materials.
We engineer solutions with advanced
properties to fi t your most extreme
needs, provide longer life and
reduce downtime.
MidstreamTransportation and Storage
Corrosion costs the oil and gas industry
billions of dollars annually and is the
primary factor affecting the longevity
and reliability of pipelines and other
crucial infrastructure. Today, much of
that infrastructure is reaching the end
of its designed lifetime. 3M understands
how serious this is to your operations
and is continuously working to develop
new solutions.
DownstreamRefi ning and Processing
The harsh conditions in oil and gas
industry applications can cause
premature deterioration of electrical
joints and terminations, resulting in
electrical system failure and
unscheduled plant shutdowns.
Improving productivityWe understand the tremendous challenges you face in accessing both established
and unconventional reserves, in harsh geographies, with rising operational costs and
environmental concerns. You can count on 3M to help you meet productivity goals
with confi dence — from Canadian oil sands, to Middle Eastern desert rigs, to Asian
permafrost and offshore drilling in the Gulf of Mexico. 3M revolutionized downhole
cements with our hollow microscopic glass spheres, offering a high strength-to-density
ratio along with superior thermal properties.
Filtration and purifi cation
As the oil and gas industry looks for
better ways to reduce contaminants,
lower the system footprint and protect
equipment, 3M Purifi cation Products are
there to increase process effi ciency
and provide the highest-quality output.
The high performance and low
cost-in-use of 3M fi lters makes them
the choice for a variety of natural gas
processing operations, including amine
sweetening, tail gas cleanup and fi nal
product purifi cation.
Abrasives
You are constantly looking for ways to lower
manufacturing costs, increase throughput
and reduce the cost of abrasive materials.
So, 3M Abrasive Solutions created products
that grind and cut through metal faster and
last longer, helping you avoid cost overruns
and keep your operations on time. From
everyday staples like sandpaper to
specialized super-abrasives in multiple
confi gurations like discs, rolls and wheels,
there is a 3M Industrial Abrasive to help
improve productivity and performance.
Glass bubbles
We instill confi dence with precision
density-reducing additives for drilling
fl uids and cement slurries used to
control bottom hole pressure. These
products help reduce the rig time
required for cementing, increase the
effi ciency of mud removal by allowing
pipe rotation or reciprocation, increase
yield per sack of cement and reduce
the possibility of lost circulation.
Upstream Exploration and Production
With narrower production windows
and greater pressures on time and
productivity, exploration and
production operations around the
world are putting advanced 3M
technologies to use across
multiple applications.
MidstreamTransportation and Storage
The oil and gas industry faces growing
challenges amid increased project
demands, accelerated project timelines
and escalating labor costs. Productivity
and on-schedule completions are
essential for success. At 3M Oil & Gas
Solutions, we are 100% committed to
your uninterrupted productivity, helping
to bring ingenious solutions to your
toughest midstream challenges.
DownstreamRefi ning and Processing
Downstream operations present a
host of unique challenges, including
seasonality, changes in input quality,
supply disruptions and unforeseen
maintenance. At 3M, imagination
and good science come together
to put innovation to work for you —
from fi ltration technologies to
maintenance operations.
Retail and Marketing Gas Stations and Tankers3M is wherever you are, helping to build your brand, all the way to the pump. We offer
commercial signage and vehicle graphics that deliver a consistent, durable message.
3M also offers reliable communication systems to keep your fi lling station running effi ciently.
What’s next?Due to the increasing scarcity of conventional reserves, the oil and gas industry
is investing heavily in unconventional technologies. Extractions are beginning in
places that were once considered unrecoverable. As opportunities expand,
the need for new technology grows. 3M Oil & Gas Solutions is committed to
tapping into our many innovative solutions to meet the needs of the industry,
from ultra-deep wells, to arctic drilling, to oil sands, pre-salts and mega
structures in remote locations.
Through it all, 3M will be there to support the progress and expansion of
your business with industry-leading solutions that will endure in these harsh
environments well into the future.
