Steel Pipe & OCTG Oil Pipe,J55、K55、N80、L80、C90、T95、P110、Q125、L80-1、C90-1、T95-1
1. Product Overview
Oil pipes refer to seamless steel pipes specially used for oil and gas drilling, extraction, gathering and transportation, mainly divided into tubing, casing and line pipe. They are produced by carbon steel and low alloy steel with strict sulfur and phosphorus control, featuring high collapse resistance, tensile strength, anti-sulfide corrosion and air tightness. The products comply with API international petroleum industry standards, and are essential pressure-bearing pipes for onshore and offshore oil & gas exploitation.
2. Product Classification
2.1 By Service Purpose
Oil Casing Run into wellbore to support the wall of oil and gas wells, isolate different formation layers, prevent well wall collapse and fluid cross-channeling. Cover surface casing, intermediate casing and production casing.
Oil Tubing Small-diameter pipe inside casing, for conveying crude oil and natural gas from underground to ground, also used for injecting water, gas and chemical agents into oil wells.
Drill Pipe Connect drill bit and drilling rig, transmit torque and circulation of drilling fluid during drilling operation.
Oil Line Pipe For long-distance transmission of oil, natural gas and produced water on the surface.

5. Production Process
Round steel billet inspection → Heating → Piercing → Hot rolling sizing → Heat treatment (Quenched & Tempered) → Straightening → NDT inspection → Thread machining → Thread anti-corrosion coating → Hydrostatic pressure test → Marking & bundling shipment
6. Delivery Status & Surface Protection
Heat Treatment Condition All high-grade oil casing & tubing adopt quenching + tempering to reach specified yield strength, impact toughness and collapse resistance.
Surface Treatment
Standard: Black hot rolled surface with anti-rust oil
Optional: Phosphating, special anti-sulfur protective coating for corrosive wells
Thread surface: Copper plating / manganese phosphate anti-sticking treatment
7. Full Factory Inspection Items
All pipes pass 100% inspection with official MTR test report:
Chemical composition test: Strict control of S, P, Mn, Cr, Mo alloy elements
Mechanical performance: Yield strength, tensile strength, elongation, full-size Charpy impact test, hardness test
Ultrasonic & magnetic particle NDT to detect internal and surface defects
Full-length hydrostatic pressure test according to API standard without leakage
Thread parameter inspection: Thread gauge detection for pitch, taper, standoff
Sulfide stress cracking test for sulfur-resistant grade pipes
8. Core Product Advantages
High collapse & tensile resistance: Adapt to deep well, ultra-deep well complex underground high-pressure environment
