OREANDA-NEWS.  Taganrog Metallurgical Works (TAGMET), a TMK subsidiary, was qualified by Kuwait Oil Company (KOC), one of the Middle East oil majors, as an approved supplier of ТМК UP PF and ТМК UP PF ET premium connections.

ТМК UP PF and ТМК UP PF ET represent a professional line of premium connections manufactured under the TMK Ultra Premium (TMK UP) brand. ТМК UP PF connections are used in tubing and casing pipe strings for wells with intense borehole crooking. ТМК UP PF ET connections ensure high tightness of the casing string at extreme loads and torque, and can be used in complex oil and gas production technologies, such as drilling with casing. 

"KOC qualification of our TMK UP connections offers new opportunities to promote our premium products in the Middle East, one of the largest energy markets", said Alexander Shiryaev, TMK CEO. "Expanding sales of high-margin premium pipe products is TMK's strategic priority."
