OREANDA-NEWS. June 25, 2007. Izhorsky pipe plant, a subsidiary of Severstal, has won Novatek’s tender to supply large-diameter pipes for the construction of the second part of Novatek`s Yurkharovskoe oil-gas condensate field. The planned volume of supply is about 60 000 tons, or 70 kilometers, of large-diameter pipes.

Under the conditions of the tender, Izhorsky pipe plant will deliver pipes of 1420mm in diameter with wall thickness of 18.7-23.2 mm, and length of 16.5-18.5 m. The majority of supply will consist of pipes with trilaminar waterproofing.

Oleg Urnev, CEO of Izhorsky pipe plant, said: “This win confirms the high quality of our products and the growing demand for them from large-diameter pipes consumers. Our products enable us to reduce the number of welds and construction time. This is hugely beneficial in this project, which will be carried on in the inclement climate of the Russian north, where the terms of construction are limited by the weather. ITZ also has regular metal-roll supply from the Cherepovets steel and Iron Work”.
