Sandvik Materials Technology bags two key orders for control lines in Middle East

HOUSTON -- Sandvik Materials Technology, a division within the Sandvik Group, has been awarded two important contracts for control lines for the oil and gas industry in the Middle East.

The first contract is with a new customer, an oil producer based in the UAE, to supply a complete package of materials. The package includes control line tubing and clamps manufactured by Downhole Products – a Varel International company, owned by Sandvik. The order of high-alloyed material for application in sour wells will be delivered in the third-quarter of this year.

The second contract with a top service company in Abu Dhabi is a major package for chemical injection applications for use on the Umm Lulu and Al Nasr oil fields in the UAE. The Umm Lulu and Al Nasr fields are located 30 km and 130 km northwest of Abu Dhabi. They respectively produce approximately 100,000 and 22,000 bpd of crude oil. Delivery for this contract is targeted for the fourth quarter of 2015.

Phil Cherrie, regional sales and marketing manager, Oil & Gas, Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA), Sandvik, said, “As a fully integrated manufacturer of seamless control lines, Sandvik has end-to-end capabilities which include in-house flushing, filling, and pressure testing to supply the complete package from control line to clamps. With strong stocking capacity and a global manufacturing footprint for project orders with all major service companies, Sandvik is well placed to deliver on both projects.”
