The Pipe Metallurgical Company has started manufacturing casing pipes of corrosion-resistant chrome-nickel alloys TMK-S.
The first batch of TMK-S pipes has been produced at Tagmet and shipped to Lukoil.
The alloy has been developed for pipes used in oil and gas extraction with high content and partial pressure of sulfuretted hydrogen and carbon dioxide.
“This is the first time that such pipes are produced in Russia. Previously it was necessary to import them”, the company technical sales and innovations deputy director Sergey Chikalov said. (Ukrainian metal)
