Venezuelan steelmaker Sidor is providing 30,000 mt of seamless steel tubes to state-run oil company PDVSA, Sidor said on Thursday.
According to Sidor, it started delivering tubes this week, with the shipment of 450 mt. The steel tubes will be used at Bariven and Petro San Feliz, subsidiaries of PDVSA.
Commenting on the supply contract, Sidor’s president, Tomás Schwab Romaniuk, said the project will “give impulse to [Sidor’s] tube processing steel mill, while guarantying the domestic supply of tubes required by the oil segment, thus reducing imports of the product.”
