Oil & Gas

EWI has a long history of developing new alloys and state-of-the-art joining technologies to companies involved in oil and gas exploration, production and refinement, and chemical processing.

Through a variety of services, we help manufacturers meet the technical challenges of recovering and transporting oil and gas efficiently from remote locations, and show them how to optimize the fabrication, operation, maintenance and repair of complex refinery equipment.
