“As we look ahead to the rest of 2021 and into 2022, we see continued signs of global economic recovery that should drive further demand growth for oil and natural gas.” says Lorenzo Simonelli, Baker Hughes chairman and CEO. “However, the pace of growth is being hampered by the COVID-19 Delta variant, global chip shortages, supply chain issues and energy supply constraints. Despite these headwinds, global growth appears to be on relatively solid footing, underpinning a favorable outlook for the oil market, aided by continued spending discipline by the world’s largest producers. Natural gas and LNG fundamentals remain strong, with a combination of solid demand growth and extremely tight supply in many regions.”

Solenoid Valves: Direct Acting vs. Pilot-Operated

(I work with solenoids so much that one VMA member at that conference joked that I needed to be wearing an I Heart Solenoids t-shirt). During the hands-on 鈥減etting zoo鈥 portion of the program, which involves smaller groups of attendees, one of the most frequently asked questions I get from people came up: What鈥檚 the difference between direct-acting and pilot-operated SOVs, and how do we make a choice?
