The American Petroleum Institute (API) is pleased to announce the publication of an Addendum to the 11th edition of the API 5CT, Casing and Tubing. This update strengthens the requirements for the manufacture of steel casing and tubing used in oil and gas drilling and production operations, enhancing safety, environmental protection and operational integrity.

Researchers at UT used a shrink sleeve and Master Bond EP30QF epoxy to seal geological core samples for MICP testing. This setup allowed them to accurately measure porosity and capillary pressure to characterize pore structures in hydrocarbon reservoirs. Read this case study to learn how the high compressive strength of EP30QF allowed for sealing core samples under high-pressure MICP conditions.
