Oil & gas

General

The use of oil and gas to provide the world with energy in many forms requires installations with increasing levels of economic and environmental performance. The challenge facing you and all actors in the energy world is to provide the entire world with access to energy for heating, lighting, travel, etc.

The entire gas chainOil and gas are a major element in the challenge and a vast amount of infrastructures must be created or upgraded for the entire oil & gas chain, from exploration and production on through to refining and transportation. The demands placed on materials increase steadily in terms of both quality and operating constraints. That is true for a wide range of applications with very different characteristics.

Industeel offers a wide range of optimized products for the entire oil & gas chain, in particular for applications in very harsh environments.


Exploration

The first step in meeting the energy challenge is the exploration of new oil & gas fields.

Oil-Gas-PlateformeFor offshore exploration around the world, you need mobile jack-up rigs that guarantee the highest level of operating safety. The steel making up the structural elements, particularly the legs, must offer exceptional mechanical characteristics, in particular very high yield strength in addition to high toughness at low temperatures and improved weldability.


Industeel has been producing racks, chords and welded elements for jack-up platforms for more than 20 years. These finished components, cut and welded, must support the weight of the platform during site operations in all sea and weather conditions. Industeel is recognized as one of the few major suppliers of these specialized components.

Production

Once in production, oil & gas from onshore and offshore wells must be separated and cleaned from associated water, sand, etc. and piped to storage, refining or treatment facilities further down the gas chain.

For offshore applications, Industeel manufactures a range of steel products suitable for the highly corrosive marine environment of topside equipment underwater modules, flowlines, risers and structures including high strengths materials that help limiting overall weight of topsides and structures. For onshore flowlines, Industeel offers plate products for welded pipe fabrication. All these components are indispensable to oil & gas production and offer the highest level of reliability.

Refining

Oil refineries and gas treatment installations are extremely complex and involve many different processes corresponding to an equally wide array of operating conditions for the equipment. All the equipment you use must be made of steels that offer uncompromised safety, reliability and ease of use.

RefiningFor example, the large reactors used in transportation processes are generally subjected to intense pressures in extremely hydrogen-rich environments. Other elements may be exposed to highly corrosive gas effluents and some reactors must resist the attacks of aggressive compounds such as hydrogen sulfide. All of this equipment must be carefully manufactured using high-quality steel components.

Industeel has solutions for every situation with a wide range of special steels ideally suited to oil & gas refining and treatment. And remember, we also have the experience and know-how to adapt and develop optimized solutions for your specific needs. Just give us a call.

Petrochemicals

The characteristics of Industeel products are perfectly suited to their specific uses. The technical know-how acquired by Industeel puts us in a position to optimize our products for each application. The result is a high-end range of steel products for the world market and the capacity to find innovative solutions to new problems you may encounter.

Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG)

Natural gas remains today an essential global energy resource. One aspect of long range transportation of natural gas is that it must be liquefied to facilitate transport by ship. The storage temperature during transport is -163°C and the steels you use must therefore have absolutely reliable properties at cryogenic temperature levels.

Industeel is a world leader in cryogenic steel products that retain their excellent toughness characteristics even at the very lowest temperatures. These products are perfectly suited to both stationary and mobile tanks, compressors and pipes. The quality of these steels is essential to ensure the safety of equipment. For this reason, the performance levels of Industeel products often exceed the requirements of applicable standards.
