API 5CT seamless Oilfield oil well drilling TUBING pipe

In the ISO 3183 standard for steel pipes for oil and gas transmission, according to the differences between quality requirements, steel pipes are divided into three parts: A, B, and C, which are also called Level A, B, and C. The main differences are as follows: basic quality requirements equivalent to those specified in API SPEC 5L are formulated in ISO 3183 - Class 1A standard requirements, and these main quality requirements are universal; In addition to the basic requirements, the requirements on toughness and nondestructive testing are added to the requirements of ISO 3183-2B standard; Some special applications, such as acidic environment, marine conditions and low temperature conditions, have very strict requirements on the quality and test of steel pipes, which are mainly reflected in IS0 3183_ Class 3C standard requirements.

OTC 2013

EASTSUN attended OTC 2013 from 4th to 9th May in HOUSTON. It is the third time we attend this biggest exhibition for oil and gas industry. We met a lots of old and new customers in these 4 days. We are all expecting the oilfield exploitation will be better and better in the near future.

API 5CT J55 seamless steel CASING

Casing is a large-diameter pipe that serves as the structural retainer for the walls of oil and gas wells, or wellbore. It is inserted into a well bore and cemented in place to protect both subsurface formations and the wellbore from collapsing and to allow drilling fluid to circulate and extraction to take place.

Surface casing

-          Protects the well from contamination in shallow water and gas layers.

-          Supports the wellhead equipment and sustains the weight of the other layers of casing.

Intermediate casing

-          Isolates different layers of pressure to facilitate normal circulation of drilling fluid and protect the production casing.

-          Intermediate casing facilitates the installation of blow-out preventers, anti-leakage devices and tailpipes in the well.

Production casing (oil string)

-          It is the conduit through which oil and gas pass from a below surface reservoir.

-          It protects the well and separates fluids into various layers.

First, green pipes are threaded on each end. The threading is then inspected and, if necessary, rethreaded to ensure that the thread accurately connects to the coupling. The threading type includes STC/BTC/LTC. The casing pipes are strengthened by surface treatment and are subject to various inspections, including drifting and hydrostatic tests before they are coated and packaged into casing.

Casing pipes are ordinarily produced with outside diameter sizes of 114.3 mm to 508.0 mm.
