Muscat: Gulf International Pipe Industry (GIPI), the first manufacturer of 8" to 24" high pressure carbon steel pipes in Oman and part of global pipe manufacturer TMK, has completed delivery of API 5L X52 (sour service) line pipes for Daleel Petroleum, according to a press release.
Daleel is one of the leading oil producing companies in the Sultanate. In a span of 10 years, the company successfully raised the production from 4,300 barrels per day (bpd) to a significant record of approximately 40,000bpd.
The expansion activities witnessed in Daleel are evident in the increasing number of drilling rigs as well as upgrading of field facilities; to meet the projected production level of 50,000bpd in the next couple of years. The pipes supplied by GIPI come in line with the expansion plans for Natih Project.
The extended length of 18 metres pipe, rather than a standard length of 12 metres, significantly reduces the end user's construction costs by over 30 per cent on welding, NDT and other associated costs, as well as substantial improvements in the speed of project execution.
Additionally, a local manufacturer brings other synergies to the customer on just in time delivery, less handling and related logistical challenges, as well as providing a cushion against any damaged products which can be immediately replaced. GIPI CEO Vladmir Shcherbatykh said: "We thank Daleel management for the undivided attention and support that has been rendered to GIPI and we count on the continued patronage of Daleel in support of manufacturer in this field of industry for the betterment of the economy of our beloved country and fostering Omani youth in the industry where we all shall work hard to ensure beneficial application of the ICV initiatives."
GIPI manufactures line pipe and casing pipe for application in the oil and gas industry, water casings, and commercial grade pipes for various applications in the construction as well as industrial facilities.
