Strong Industry Powering the World
While the population of the world continues
to grow, with 9.2 billion people expected by
2050, so does the average standard of living
driven by a sustainable economic average inemerging and developed economies.
Investments in R&D and manufacturing technology are
crucial to maintain a long term competitive advantage.
While making these important investments, companies
also have to focus on controlling costs, improving

productivity and searching for new technologies.
There is a growing demand for machining
exotic materials in the oil and gas industry,
capable to withstand the most hostileenvironments such as high temperatures,
corrosion and extreme pressure conditions
For this purpose ISCAR brings its customers
innovative tooling solutions, combined with thehighest quality assurance standards worldwide.

The oil and gas industry is usually divided into
3 main segments, upstream, midstream
and downstream. Midstream operations areusually included in the downstream category.

Upstream
Exploration and productionof crude oil and natural gas

Midstream Pipeline
Transportation, storage andmarketing of oil and gas derivatives

Downstream LNG Plant
Refining crude oil, purifying andprocessing raw natural gas

3Upstream Sector
This sector involves all the activities related to the
exploration and production (E&P) of crude oil andnatural gas. The upstream oil and gas segment include:
exploration for potential underground or underwater
oil and natural gas reservoirs, drilling of exploratory
wells, and operating/producing the oil and natural gas
wells that “pay” with crude oil and/or natural gas.

5Drill Bits Machining Solutions
Drill bits are part of the downhole
equipment used to dig down into theearth's crust. Like a common hand-held
drill, the spinning of the drill bit allows forpenetration of even the hardest rock. The
drill bit is located at the bottom end of thedrill string, and is responsible for actually
making contact with the subsurface layers,
and drilling through them. The drill bit is
responsible for breaking up and dislodging
rock, sediment, and anything else that
may be encountered while drilling.

Pressure Valve Machining So
Valves, fittings and pumps are popular
components in pressure control systems,
providing the requested well security at
heavy duty conditions for surface andsubsea operations.
The high strength of stainless steels,
duplex and super duplex alloys assure
long lasting pressure systems and arevery common in the pressure control

system field. Other exotic materials suchas titanium, inconel, powder metals
and forging are also well-known in this
sector. ISCAR has a wide range of toolingand carbides for these materials. It isonly the process of tooling selection thatneeds to be addressed, and this is where
ISCAR's experience has a great advantage
over any other cutting tool supplier.
