About the project

Finishing centre for oil-industry tubular products

In 2006, following the decision to discontinue TPA 140 No. 3, URALGIPROMEZ developed a reconstruction design for a new finishing centre. Planned output was 115,000 tonnes per year: 55,000 tonnes of production tubing, 20,000 tonnes of casing and 40,000 tonnes of oil line pipe. The design provides for reconstruction of the shop building, removal of two narrow, structurally unsafe northern bays, and extensions to the north and east. The cleared and newly added areas accommodate pipe-end upsetting, heat treatment, non-destructive testing and finishing lines for tubing, oil line pipe and casing supplied by SMS of Germany, together with coupling manufacturing equipment supplied by Emag of Germany. The pipe-rolling shop includes a three-roll continuous mill and a finishing equipment complex.
