Seamless Pipe for Offshore Structure

Offshore Project

Offshore Structural Pipe

Offshore platform is the equipment to drill and extract oil from the sea. Based on different functions, offshore platform can be classified as drilling platform, production platform, service platform, oil storage, etc. There are bottom-supported, gravity, jack-up, semi-submersible, tension leg type, etc. According to different function, Pile foundation type, bottom-supported and gravity platform are used in shallow waters. Jack-up, semi-submersible, tension leg type, such as vertical cylinder type of offshore platform become the hotspot in the field of ocean engineering.

We  has developed the offshore structural pipes for offshore platform, supplied in normalized or quenched and tempered condition for yield strength 355~690 MPa.
  -  Bracing pipe
  -  Chord pipe
Jack-up drilling platform leg chord pipe is manufactured as with semicircle.
Its advantage is low cost and high efficiency that producing semicircle pipe with seamless pipe through longitudinal cutting process

Characteristics of products
- Steel design with low carbon and micro alloyed  
- Low carbon equivalent
- Excellent weldability
- Excellent low temperature toughness
- Lower ductile brittle transition
- Higher surface quality
