API 5CT Seamless Tubing Pipe OCTG
Features
- Seamless construction that holds internal pressure along the whole length of the string
- Thinner wall than casing, built to carry fluids rather than support the wellbore
- L80 9Cr and 13Cr options for wells with H2S or CO2 in the produced fluid
- Three connection styles, so the string can be matched to well depth and pressure
- Every length hydrostatically tested, drifted, and inspected before dispatch
- Custom lengths, coatings, and thread protection available
