OCTG pipes play a crucial role as essential assets required in the exploration and field service processes in the Oil & Gas/Geothermal Industry. The continuous use of these pipes necessitates the availability of sufficient OCTG pipe stock when needed, and the pipes must be in good condition. OCTG pipe stock requires a large area for storage before use, often resulting in outdoor storage conditions. These open conditions make the pipes highly susceptible to environmental factors and changing weather conditions, thereby increasing the risk of corrosion.
A thorough inspection is conducted on OCTG pipes before they can be used, to avoid process failures due to issues with the pipes. Corrosion on OCTG pipes, leading to pitting corrosion, can cause the pipes to fail inspection, rendering them unusable and ultimately piling up in the storage area. This represents a significant loss due to improper handling during the storage process.
PT EONCHEMICALS PUTRA has played an important role for over 30 years in addressing corrosion issues in the OCTG pipe industry. We provide specialized coatings for use on OCTG pipes that can prevent corrosion during storage for over 6 months without interfering with the pipe’s functionality during installation. Register now to learn about the solutions we offer to mitigate asset losses of OCTG pipes due to corrosion during storage.
