OREANDA-NEWS. April 13, 2012. TMK, one of the world's leading producers of tubular products for the oil and gas industry, ships a new type of casing with TMK PF premium connections to Russian state-owned oil company Zarubezhneft.

The high-strength casing of the special High Collapse series (resistant to external collapse pressure) with gas-tight TMK PF premium connections was not previously manufactured in Russia. This new product type is intended for installation in deep and ultra-deep horizontal wells and will be used to develop offshore fields in Latin America.

“This is the first shipment of pipe with TMK Russian premium connections to Latin America, which is a serious step toward expanding the sales market for our high-tech products in this region,” said Sergei Bilan, Vice President for Premium Products and Services at TMK.
