Turkey-based steel pipe producer Borusan Mannesmann Boru has announced that it will supply steel pipes for the 368-kilometer part of a new natural gas pipeline from the Permian basin of West Texas to Corpus Christi.
According to Borusan Mannesmann, the contract value of the 368-kilometer part of the pipeline project amounts to $173 million.
