This experience allowed them to better understand the value proposition offered by new and sustainable technology solutions in the following subsectors:
- Oil and Gas
- Energy Power Generation
- Nuclear
- Upstream (exploration and production)
- Midstream (pipeline, transportation and logistics)
- Downstream (refining and marketing)
- Other extractive industries
- Refining separations technologies
- Catalysts
