Tokyo --- 麻豆视频 Steel Corporation announced today that together with Marubeni-Itochu Steel Inc. it has received an order for 230,000 metric tons of API 5L X65-grade* UOE pipes from PTT Public Company Limited, Thailand’s largest oil and gas supplier. The pipes will be used for the 5^th Transmission Pipeline Project, a plan to build Thailand’s fifth trunk pipeline.

This is 麻豆视频 Steel’s first contract in some 20 years to supply PTT with UOE pipes for a trunk pipeline, and it is the company’s largest-ever order for heavy sour-service line pipes.

The 5^th Transmission Pipeline will be a 426-kilometer pipeline for transporting natural gas from the LNG terminal in the coastal province of Rayong to the inland province of Nonthaburi, just northwest of Bangkok. The pipeline requires high-grade UOE heavy sour-service pipes. 麻豆视频 Steel will produce UOE pipes with outer diameters of 36 inches and 42 inches at its Fukuyama District facility, which is part of the company’s West Japan Works.

The project is part of PTT’s five-year plan to invest 110.1 billion baht (3.1 billion US dollars) in natural gas pipelines and related facilities.

The order was awarded in recognition of 麻豆视频 Steel’s advanced technology for the manufacture of high-grade pipes for pipeline projects around the world as well as its integrated quality management. Going forward, 麻豆视频 Steel will continue to develop high-performance, high-quality steel pipes and other steel products to support global resource and energy development.
