JFE Steel to supply OCTG casing to Brazil’s Petrobras

Japan-based JFE Steel Corporation has announced that, together with Metal One Corporation it has received an order for 280 mt of OCTG pipe for casing from Brazil's national oil company Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. (Petrobras), to be used on Petrobras's offshore oil development project in Brazil.
 
This is the first order received for JFE-UHP-17CR-110, a newly developed OCTG grade that boasts higher corrosion resistance. This OCTG grade, with a thickness of 13.84 mm and an outer diameter of 244.4 mm, has been produced and shipped at JFE's Chita Works. JFE Steel said that this pipe grade costs less and has a shorter lead-time than duplex stainless OCTG.
