It takes an industry leader to meet big energy demands.

Our nation needs more supplies of all energy sources, including oil and natural gas, to meet its growing energy

demand and to provide consumers with reliable supplies of fuel. The Saint-Gobain Oil & Gas Group is involved in all

aspects of upstream and downstream operations — from scintillation detectors … to hydraulic fracturing proppants …

to diamond cutters for drill bits … to tape insulation and seals for downhole pumps … to ceramic media used in the

refining process — we’re your industry leaders and experts when it comes to providing leading-edge technologies,

products and materials.

supplier of highly advanced ceramic-

based products. Other HPM business

units apply decades of experience in

fluoropolymers and other plastics,

crystals and other advanced

materials to products designed to

serve the diverse needs of the oil and

gas industry.

Compagnie de Saint-Gobain is a materials company with a distinguished history.

It was founded more than 300 years ago and has since flourished as one of the
