Sandvik enters into five-year agreement with Tenaris to supply OCTG

which will be supplied by Sandvik as part of the Sandvik-Tenaris Alliance Agreement. In many parts of Abu Dhabi, the well environ- ments are extremely corrosive, making require- ments for CRA materials necessary. For this award, Sandvik will be supplying primarily Sanicro ® 28 (UNS N08028)

Sandvik, a developer and producer of advanced stainless steels, special alloys, titanium and other high-performance materials, has entered into a long-term agreement with Tenaris to supply oil country tubular goods following its award from the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) last year.

ADNOC awarded Tenaris a long-term contract for the provision of tubulars and Rig Direct ® services over the next five years, with the possibility of a two-year extension. Per Olsson-Artberger, global product manager OCTG, Sandvik, said: “Being involved in this award, which is one of the world’s largest in this category, further showcases our expertise and ability to produce high-quality products that meet various challenges around the world. “We are very excited to be working once again with Tenaris to support ADNOC’s activities in the UAE and look forward to

delivering materials that contribute to high productivity and cost-efficiency in this ever-evolving industry.” The award forms part of an initiative by ADNOC to secure smart procurement solutions that add value to its upstream oil and gas drilling business and promote in-country investment and service provision. It includes the supply of a full array of steel grades and connections, including Dopeless ® technology, to support ADNOC’s onshore and offshore E&P expansion projects. The award includes a relevant portion of Corrosion Resistant Alloy materials,

in dimensions from 3½" to 7" outer diameter, which is a high-alloy multi- purpose austenitic stainless steel for service in highly corrosive conditions. According to Sandvik, it has seen an increase in the demand for high corrosion resistant alloys from customers globally, as operators look to improve lifetime cycles and safety in both existing and new systems.
