Piping Supply

We finance and deliver complete pipeline equipment with all the essential accessories for the oil and gas industry: pipes, flanges, and valves right down to cleaning and inspection systems. To this end we manage the procurement, storage, delivery and logistics.

One current example of a business contract underway is an underwater pipeline 130 metres below the Caspian Sea, which is the second pipeline that we have delivered to the state-owned Azerbaijani oil company SOCAR. Underwater pipelines on this kind need to comply with high technical requirements. This is why we are a sought partner for projects like these.

The state-owned oil company of Azerbaijan, SOCAR, is building a pipeline network for the country's oil and gas supply as a feed pipe to the large Baku-Ceyhan and Baku-Erzerum pipelines. Linked to this the extension of the previous pipeline from Neft Dashlary to Güneshli has been initiated, which is also a project that MAN Ferrostaal is going to carry out. The pipes for this project are made from special steel and are coated in special polyethylene, which permits additional concrete coating.

The pipes were laid in the Caspian Sea in February 2007 using a special pipe laying ship. Apart from the pipes we also supplied all other the pipe components required, such as fittings and flanges, a special underwater pivot flange system, ball valves, pig trap stations and cleaning pigs. Gas started flowing through this pipeline in the summer of 2007.
