API 5CT Steel Casing (OCTG)

Our API 5CT casing pipes are engineered to serve as the structural pipe used to support and protect the wellbore during drilling and production. Designed to withstand collapse pressure, internal pressure, tensile load and downhole service conditions, these pipes ensure the integrity of the wellbore during drilling and production phases.

BTC(Buttress Thread Casing)

Premium Connections:Gas-tight threads for extreme high-pressure or sour service (H2S) environments.


4. Key Application Areas

Surface Casing:Protects freshwater zones and supports the blowout preventer.

Intermediate Casing:Isolates high-pressure zones and unstable formations.

Production Casing:The final conduit for oil and gas production, ensuring long-term well stability.


5. Quality Assurance & Protection

Compliance:Full adherence to API Spec 5CT latest edition; supplied with MTC (EN 10204 3.1).

Testing:100% NDT (Ultrasonic & Magnetic Particle), Hydrostatic testing, and Drift testing.

Surface Treatment:External black painting/vanish, color coding as per API standards.

Packaging:Steel strapped bundles with thread protectors (plastic or composite) for secure maritime transit.

Frequently Asked Questions


1. What specific grades and connection types do you provide for OCTG?

We offer a full range of API 5CT Casing & Tubing, including common grades like J55, K55, N80, and L80, available with standard connections (STC, LTC, BTC) or premium connections for specialized drilling environments.

2. How do you guarantee compliance with API 5CT standards?

Every pipe is manufactured to strict API 5L and API 5CT specifications and undergoes rigorous Internal Quality Control, including hydrostatic and non-destructive testing, to ensure reliability under downhole pressure.

3. Do you provide official certification for oilfield materials?

Yes, all products are delivered with a Mill Test Certificate (MTC) according to EN 10204 3.1, providing complete traceability of chemical composition and mechanical properties required for oil and gas projects.

4. How are the threads and pipe surfaces protected during international transit?

We use professional sea-worthy packaging, specifically applying heavy-duty thread protectors (plastic or metal) and anti-rust coatings to ensure the casing and tubing arrive at the wellsite in perfect condition

Frequently Asked Questions


1. What specific grades and connection types do you provide for OCTG?

We offer a full range of API 5CT Casing & Tubing, including common grades like J55, K55, N80, and L80, available with standard connections (STC, LTC, BTC) or premium connections for specialized drilling environments.

2. How do you guarantee compliance with API 5CT standards?

Every pipe is manufactured to strict API 5L and API 5CT specifications and undergoes rigorous Internal Quality Control, including hydrostatic and non-destructive testing, to ensure reliability under downhole pressure.

3. Do you provide official certification for oilfield materials?

Yes, all products are delivered with a Mill Test Certificate (MTC) according to EN 10204 3.1, providing complete traceability of chemical composition and mechanical properties required for oil and gas projects.

4. How are the threads and pipe surfaces protected during international transit?

We use professional sea-worthy packaging, specifically applying heavy-duty thread protectors (plastic or metal) and anti-rust coatings to ensure the casing and tubing arrive at the wellsite in perfect condition
