SEMI SEAMLESS

WHAT IS SEMI SEAMLESS?

  • OCTG manufactured from Super Duplex and nickel-based corrosion resistant alloy plate
  • Economically produced in OD sizes 7” through 9-5/8”
  • 110 KSI minimum yield strength
  • Manufactured in typical OCTG wall and weight
  • Lengths offered up to 45-feet vs. traditional 13-feet average, requiring fewer connections
  • Superior uniformity in dimensional tolerances, ovality, wall, yield, tensile, and length compared to OCTG manufactured from the traditional seamless extruded hollow
  • Hollows are cold worked to provide a product superior to the traditional extruded seamless products
  • Hollows from defect free plate, on both the ID and OD, are roll formed and welded with re-crystallized weldment. Either an autogenous process or a shielded gas arc process with a filler metal matching the base metal can be used

ADVANTAGES OF SEMI SEAMLESS – SUPER DUPLEX AND NICKEL-BASED OCTG

  • Substantially tighter dimensional and mechanical tolerances
  • Enhanced uniform ovality, wall, yield and tensile
  • Increased uniform length (typical length variance is 4” per joint)
  • Longer lengths (presently available up to 45-feet)
  • Rig cost savings (fewer connections required to assemble)
  • Connections cost savings (fewer connections to purchase)
  • Reduced leak risk (less connection limit leak potential)
  • Flexibility in choice of specialty connection from any manufacturer
  • Offers an alternative source for large OD super duplex and nickel-based alloy OCTG
  • Immediately increases overall worldwide manufacturing capacity for super duplex and nickel-based alloy OCTG
