INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS FOR THE OIL INDUSTRY OF KAZAKHSTAN FROM QAZEXPOCENTRE-PIPE

Today, Kazakhstan’s oil producing industry faces serious challenges: aging infrastructure, high operating costs, and environmental challenges. Easily recoverable oil and gas reserves are rapidly depleting, forcing oil and gas companies to look for new ways. In conditions where traditional methods no longer produce the same results, attention is shifting to hard-to-recover hydrocarbons that require innovative technologies, advanced equipment and special tubular products. This new era in oil production promises to be challenging, but also offers great opportunities for those willing to rise to challenge.

QazExpoCentre-Pipe LLP, a leading manufacturer of tubular products in Kazakhstan, offers innovative solutions for such tasks. The enterprise is equipped with modern technological and control equipment for the production of pumping and compression and casing pipes with a diameter of from 60 mm to 178 mm. The main production equipment of the plant is made in Germany: EMAG Maschinenfabrik, Weatherford oil Tool, Hydroline Schrupp, Venjakob –Maschienbau. The plant produces both standard and premium highly hermetic steel seamless casing and pumping and compression pipes resistant to mechanical loadings and corrosion, which reduces the frequency of repairs at the field. The use of the latest production technologies ensures the reliability and tightness of connections, which is important for the efficient operation of wells in difficult geological conditions and at great depths.

QazExpoCentre-Pipe LLP is included in the Register of Domestic Manufacturers of Kazakhstan, having received the Industrial Certificate of the 1st category. It is included in the Register of Manufacturers of the Samruk-Kazyna Holding. QazExpoCentre-Pipe has valid CТ KZ certificates of origin of goods. Serial production of pumping and compression and casing pipes complies with GOST 633-80, GOST 632-80, GOST 31446-2017 (ISO 11960:2014), ST RK ISO 11960-2009, API Spec 5CT. QazExpoCentre-Pipe is a licensee for the right to apply the API Monogram for manufactured products.

One of the key products of QazExpoCentre-Pipe is casing and pumping and compression pipes with premium threaded connections developed for use in oil and gas wells with difficult operating conditions, including offshore and deep-sea areas, as well as in the development of horizontal and directional wells. These products are distinguished by high strength and tightness, bending ability, resistance to other adverse factors.

Technical characteristics and advantages:

• Materials and dimensions:
o Carbon steel, alloy steel and stainless steel
o Diameter: from 60.3 mm to 177.8 mm
o Wall thickness: from 4.83 mm to 9.19 mm
• Premium threaded connections:
o High tightness and resistance to tensile and torsional loads
• Mechanical properties:
o High tensile strength and impact toughness
o Resistance to wear and corrosion
• Technological features:
o Heat treatment to improve mechanical properties
o Quality control using ultrasonic and magnetic particle inspection
o High manufacturing precision thanks to EMAG machines

Today, such pipes are not just a trend, but an effective way to save and reduce project costs. The benefits of using premium threads become apparent after just a few years: experience shows that companies using pipes with premium connections have fewer accidents at the fields and reduce downtime.

QazExpoCentre-Pipe pipe products are delivered to any point in Kazakhstan to the buyer’s warehouse by rail or road.

QazExpoCentre-Pipe’s customers are large oil and gas and service companies in Kazakhstan. If necessary, the company provides engineering support for screwing and lowering casing strings and pumping and compression pipes into wells.

QazExpoCentre-Pipe is a customer-oriented company, therefore it offers individual delivery conditions, taking into account the wishes of partners regarding terms and methods of payment.
