Specialist piping solutions designed for the oil & gas sector
A
ll over the world, extraction of oil and gas on the high seas demands innovative and complex piping solutions using high-quality materials. It is
no longer unusual for oil companies to be drilling for oil at more than 10,000m below the surface of the sea. To ensure long-term profi tability, any source needs to be exploitable for at least 25 years. Germany’s Schoeller Werk makes its own contribution to the necessary quality and planning assurance with its heavy-duty control-line and chemical-injection pipes for the off shore industry. T eir technical design is such that they can withstand not only the extreme pressure conditions that prevail in deep seas, but also extremely high temperatures and aggressive liquid media. Worldwide, there are more than 2,000
off shore drilling rigs and many more individual wells with oil and gas being extracted on a continuous basis. T e technical equipment for these installations sets extreme demands on the handpicked suppliers from the stainless steel industry. Schoeller Werk took up the off shore challenge 35 years ago and for many years has been among the kingpins of the industry. At its base in the Eifel region, the company not only manufactures tubes for various sectors, it also creates technologically remarkable solutions for use on drilling rigs.
OIL AND GAS EXTRACTION IN NORWAY For one company alone, TCO Norway, service provider for Norway’s state-owned Statoil enterprise, Schoeller Werk has supplied over 500,000m of piping since
