Commodities Buzz: Nippon And Sumitomo Metal Prove Corrosion Resistance In Super 13Cr Line Pipe

Corrosion resistance of Super 13Cr Line Pipe (S13Cr) was proved in a joint R&D program with Shell a global group of energy and petrochemical companies. The company expects that S13Cr will be more widely used in severe oil and gas transport condition because of the proved performance of the product. NSSMC and Shell have a long term contract called EFA (Enterprise Framework Agreement).
The environments in oil and gas fields have tended to become more severe. For pipes which are used for drilling and transportation of oil and gas, resistance to corrosion is required especially when exposed to fluids containing carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide and chlorides. Reasonable prices and stability of supply are also essential.
