Oil and natural gas are major industries in the energy market and play an influential role in the global economy as the world's primary fuel sources. The processes and systems involved in producing and distributing oil and gas are highly complex, capital-intensive, and require state-of-the-art technology. Historically, natural gas has been linked to oil, mainly because of the production process or upstream side of the business. For much of the history of the industry, natural gas was viewed as a nuisance and even today is flared in large quantities in some parts of the world, including the United States. Natural gas has taken on a more prominent role in the world's energy supply as a consequence of shale gas development in the United States, as mentioned above, and its lower greenhouse gas emissions when combusted when compared to oil and coal.

This guide looks at the business of oil and gas and is intended to serve as a research aid to sources worldwide, with a specific emphasis on the United States. It covers a brief history of the oil and gas industry, an overview of companies and organizations, statistic and pricing resources, and regulations. The industry is often divided into three segments:

• upstream, the business of oil and gas exploration and production;
• midstream, transportation and storage; and
• downstream, which includes refining and m

 DESCRIPTION Servofilm oils are highly refined straight mineral oils having excellent water separation characteristics. These are blend cuts from solvent refined high viscosity index base stocks having inherent oxidation and thermal stability.

PERFORMANCE BENEFITS Servofilm oils • Have good resistance to formation of deposits and sludge at normal operating temperatures • Rapidly separate from water
APPLICATION Servofilm oils suitable for use in oil film bearings in steel mills. These oils are also recommended for use in circulation systems where non-additive type lubricants with high demulsibility
characteristics are required.
 PERFORMANCE STANDARDS Servofilm oils meet the following specification: • IPSS 1-09-001-81 • Morgan Construction Co. USA Servofilm 46 and 257 meet the following specification: • IS: 6552 – 1972 Grade 1 and 2 respectively
with minor deviation in pour point requirements
 HEALTH & SAFETY These oils are unlikely to present any significant health or safety hazard when properly used in the recommended application and good standards of industrial and personal hygiene are maintained.

Idemitsu high quality Electro-Discharge Machine (EDM) oil is specially formulated with synthetic base oil to give unsurpassed performance. This clear transparent dielectric fluid is odourless and non-toxic. Its low viscosity and high flash point helps to promote a safe and pleasant working environment.

SERVOCYL M 680/1000/1500

DESCRIPTION Servocyl M oils are highly refined steam cylinder lubricants having excellent thermal and chemical stability. These oils provide good resistance to the washing effect of moisture and separate easily from exhaust steam and condensate. Servocyl M oils are non-additive treated mineral oils, blended from high quality, specially refined, high viscosity index base stocks. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS Servocyl M 1000 meets the following specification : • IS : 1589-1960 with amendment No. 1 of 1966 for Cylinder Oil Grade 2, Type 1 with minor deviation in flash point requirement APPLICATION Servocyl M oils are recommended for cylinder lubrication of steam engines handling superheated steam. These oils are specially suitable for services demanding straight mineral oil where –in ready separation of condensate from lubricant is necessary so that the condensate can be further used in certain process work. These oils are not recommended for wet steam conditions
PERFORMANCE BENEFITS Servocyl M oils • Enable higher loading of equipment, since they have high-load carrying ability • Minimise wear of cylinder wall and poston rings • Protect engine parts against rusting and corrosion • Reduce steam consumption, due to excellent sealing characteristics and low frictional losses • Minimise tendency of deposit formation at elevated temperatures
