2 March 2012 (10:17)
One of the world’s largest OCTG producers Pipe Metallurgical Company (TMK) is now shipping longitudinally welded large-diameter pipes meant for transporting natural gas from Turkmenistan’s largest deposit Southern Yolotan to the country, TMK press service reports.
To meet the customer’s requirements, the production of longitudinally welded LDPs with special properties was mastered at TMK’s Volzhsky Pipe Plant (VTZ); for one, these pipes have more rigid geometric parameters and a special angle of chamfer as well as enhanced anti-corrosion coating.
12,000 tons of TMK’s longitudinally welded LDPs out of the total large shipment volume have already been sent to Southern Yolotan.
The natural gas deposit Southern Yolotan was found in 2006 and is currently Turkmenistan’s largest and the world’s second largest deposit, preceded by Iran and Qatar’s Pars deposit. Its area comes to about 3,000 sq km. The deposit can boast impressive supplies of about 21 trillion cubic meters of natural gas. It is developed by the state-run company Turkmengaz and the Chinese enterprise CNPC.
