OREANDA-NEWS. March 19, 2012. TMK, one of the world's leading producers of tubular products for the oil and gas industry, started production of casing made of super-chrome steel. The pipes, manufactured for Gazprom, are threaded with TMK GF premium connections.

Pipes made from 13-Chrome steel have unique mechanical characteristics that allow them to be used in a variety of aggressive environments in the most difficult oil and gas fields, also as substitutes for more expensive pipes made from stainless steel.

TMK GF premium connections are used in directional wells and ensure a high level of gas-tightness in the pipe string under difficult conditions such as bending, compression, tension, and high torque.

TMK’s super-chrome casing has been shipped to Gasprom and has got positive assessment from the gas monopoly.
