TMK supplies pipes to transport gas from new field in UAE

MOSCOW. March 2 (Interfax) - TMK has supplied more than 5,000 tonnes of seamless steel pipes to the Sharjah National Oil Corporation (SNOC) in the UAE to transport Mahani Gas production to the SNOC Sajaa Gas Plant, TMK said in a press release.

The 406.4 m pipe produced at TMK's Volzhsky Pipe Plant is intended for use in aggressive environments. The 3LPP coating pipe was used to construct a 22 km pipeline to feed Mahani field production to a gas processing plant.

Under the integrated contract between the two companies, TMK has also supplied SNOC with other structural components and equipment used in pipeline installation.

"The UAE energy companies are TMK's key customers in the Middle East. We have built a strong reputation as a supplier of tubular products for various purposes, including steel line pipe and premium connections. We are proud to participate in the development of the first onshore gas field in Sharjah in 37 years," said Vladimir Oborsky, TMK's Vice President for Sales.

"This is our first collaboration with SNOC, and it has enabled our expansion in the UAE market. Despite significant transportation restrictions due to the pandemic, we were able to deliver all shipments strictly on schedule," he said.
