Casing and Tubing

Casing and Tubing

Oil country tubular goods (OCTG) is a family of seamless rolled products consisting of drill pipe, casing and tubing subjected to loading conditions according to their specific application.
Standards:

  • API Spec 5CT latest edition at time of manufacture (PSL-1, PSL-2, PSL, 3)
  • ISO 11960:2004, Petroleum and natural gas industries-Steel pipes for use as casing or tubing for wells

Sizes range:

  • Outside Diameter: 1.660″ – 30″
  • Length:Range 1, Range 2 & Range 3

Casing Thread

  • Available in short thread and coupling (S.T.C)
  • long thread and coupling (L.T.C)
  • buttress threaded and coupled (B.T.C)

Grades:

  • Casing H40, J55-K55, N80, L80 (1), C95, P110
  • Tubing H40, J55-K55, N80, L80 (1), C95, P110
  • Drill Pipes E75, X95, G105, S135

Connections:

  • STC (short round thread casing)
  • LTC (long round thread casing)
  • BTC (buttress thread casing)
  • XL (extreme-line casing)
  • NUE (non-upset tubing)
  • EUE (external upset tubing)
  • IJ (integral joint tubing)
Corrosion resistance under sour service conditions is a very important OCTG characteristic, especially for casing and tubing.Tubing is pipe through which the oil or gas is transported from the wellbore.

Tubing segments are generally around 30 ft [9 m] long with a threaded connection on each end.

Premium Connections

And almost any premium & gas tight connection
Protection:

  • External bare and uncoated or externally coated with black/ transparent anti rust Mill varnish
  • Plastic or Metal Pin and Box Protectors.
  • Internal plastic coating or sleeves.

Mill Test Certificates:

  • Issued in accordance with API Specification 5CT Eighth Edition
  • Additional Third Party Inspection can also be performed on request.

For pipes covered by this standard, the sizes, masses and wall thicknesses as well as grades and applicable end-finishes are listed in Tables C.1 to C.3 and Tables E.1 to E.3. By agreement between the purchaser and manufacturer, this standard can also be applied to other plain-end pipe sizes and wall thicknesses.
