Lubricants are essential for the proper functioning of machines. These are used to reduce friction and wear and tear in different operating parts of machines. Lubricants offer different properties such as high viscosity index, high boiling point, corrosion prevention, low freezing point, thermal stability and high resistance to oxidation. Lubricants also remove any residual deposition over mechanical parts, thereby increasing their operating lifespan. Lubricants enable smooth operation of mechanical parts and provide higher efficiency outputs. These are manufactured from base oils. Some additives are used in base oils to attain desired properties. Offshore lubricants are predominantly manufactured from mineral oils. Synthetic lubricants are being widely used as these are compatible with the environment and offer technical benefits over conventional mineral oil-based lubricants. These lubricant products offer high performance with outstanding engine protection, require less maintenance and have greater operating efficiency. Machines and components require a specific type of lubricant as per the operating need.

Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) is gaining momentum in the transportation fuels segment, due to growth in drive towards adoption of clean fuels by national governments around the world. Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) is obtained through compression of natural gas to less than 1% of the volume it generally occupies at normal atmospheric conditions. There are four primary end-user segments of CNG globally: light duty (LD) vehicles, medium duty/heavy duty (MD/HD) buses, medium duty/heavy duty (MD/HD) trucks and others. The others vehicle segment comprises three-wheeler vehicles powered by CNG. These are mostly used in Asia-Pacific and Latin America. LD vehicles accounted for nearly 93% of the global CNG vehicle fleet, but only 50.2% of the global CNG consumption in 2013. This is because medium and heavy duty vehicles consume a larger quantity of fuel compared to light duty vehicles and passenger cars. Consumption pattern of medium and heavy duty vehicles is also relatively constant in nature. This has prompted multiple governments to target conversion of existing bus and truck fleets to CNG.

Rising offshore drilling activities coupled with a paradigm shift towards the development of shale gas and deep-sea reserves is expected to drive the drilling fluids market in Latin America from 2014 to 2020. Currently, manufacturers of drilling fluids are involved in a transition phase; they are striving to capitalize on increasing demand for drilling fluids in offshore areas of Brazil and Venezuela and onshore unconventional reserves of Argentina and Venezuela. However, the drilling fluids industry in Latin America is affected by various factors such as stringent government regulations, lack of infrastructure and rising demand for oil and gas.

Lysine is considered to be one of the most essential amino acids needed to maintain the health of humans and animals. Consumed as a dietary supplement and feed additive, lysine is proven to be healthier than soybean, its natural substitute.
