Sandvik Materials Technology (Sandvik), manufacturers of stainless steels, special alloys, titanium and other high-performance materials, with branches in North and South America, has won two significant contracts for control lines for the oil and gas industry in the Middle East.
The first contract is with a new customer, an oil producer based in the United Arab Emerites (UAE), to supply a complete package of materials, including control line tubing and clamps. The control lines will be coiled tubing wound on reels, which are combined with accessories that together help in controlling the flow of oil in offshore oil wells. The order of high-alloyed material for application in sour wells will be delivered in the third quarter of this year.
The second contract with a top service company in Abu Dhabi is a major package for chemical injection applications, for use on the Umm Lulu and Al Nasr oil fields in the UAE. They respectively produce approximately 100,000 and 22,000 barrels of crude oil per day. The delivery for this contract is targeted for the fourth quarter of this year. Sandvik will supply coiled tubing for control lines and chemical injection lines, either as bare coils or in flatpacks, as per customer requirements. As control lines are often exposed to corrosive well fluids, Sandvik will produce them in a wide range of corrosion-resistant alloys.
