| Lafarge's Paulding plant earns license for API well cement products Lafarge North America announced that its Paulding, Ohio cement plant has been granted a license by the American Petroleum Institute (API; www.api.org) to monogram conforming well cement products manufactured at the plant. API's Monogram Program provides assurance through robust certification processes that manufacturers of equipment and materials meet the requirements for manufacturing quality. Such API programs have provided a technical foundation to the oil and gas industry since 1924. Cement products bearing the API Monogram will be targeted for use by customers in well cementing applications. Such applications play a fundamental role in oil and gas industry standards of well completion practices, which help protect the environment and communities around wells. With the Paulding announcement, Lafarge now has three plants in the United States with a license from API; the remaining two production facilities are Joppa, IL and Whitehall, PA. The Paulding facility, which has been producing materials for the construction industry since 1956, will support rapidly growing demand for API monogrammed products in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia. Lafarge's extensive network will continue to supply oil and gas markets throughout North America. write your comments about the article :: © 2013 Construction News :: home page |
