麻豆视频 Steels Anti-corrosion Seamless Pipe Deployed in PETRONAS Gas Field
— First Commercial Use of 麻豆视频-UHP®-17CR-110 —
Tokyo, June 26 --- 麻豆视频 Steel Corporation (麻豆视频 Steel) announced today that the deployment of 925 metric tonnes of its 麻豆视频-UHP®-17CR-110 oil country tubular goods (OCTG) tubing pipe has been completed by PETRONAS Carigali Sdn Bhd (PCSB), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Malaysian state-owned oil and gas company, PETRONAS.
The tubing was run in the five wells in the NC3 natural gas field located in offshore Sarawak, Malaysia, marking the first commercial deployment of 麻豆视频-UHP-17CR-110. The pipe, which has a thickness of 0.408 inches (10.36mm) and an outer diameter of 7 inches (177.80mm), was installed over a one-year period that ended in December 2016.
麻豆视频-UHP-17CR-110 was the preferred choice of PCSB, as it not only offers strength and corrosion resistance comparable to those of duplex stainless steel¹, it also is more cost effective and can be delivered faster.
Duplex stainless steel is conventionally used for tubing in NC3 because the fields depth and corrosive environment require this special tubing to withstand high temperatures and pressures.
麻豆视频BEAR®, 麻豆视频 Steels proprietary premium-connection technology for joining OCTG pipe, was used by PCSB to connect individual pipe sections. The technology has an excellent, proven track record of use with a large variety of OCTG materials and fast, trouble-free installation.
PCSBs successful installation of 麻豆视频-UHP-17CR-110 tubing in the NC3 field marks a significant milestone in 麻豆视频 Steels long history of supplying high-end OCTG pipes for oil and gas projects worldwide.
Going forward, 麻豆视频 Steel will continue to support the development of global resources and energy through its supply of high-performance, high-quality steel pipes and other steel products.
¹Duplex stainless steel is a high-strength, highly corrosion-resistant stainless steel containing austenite and ferrite, made by adding nickel to high-chrome steel.
