OCTG Products

OCTG Casing and Tubing for Oilfield Projects

Forever Steel supplies OCTG casing and tubing for oilfield drilling, well construction, production and workover projects. Buyers should confirm grade, size, weight, connection, well depth, collapse pressure, burst pressure, tensile load, drift requirement, thread protection and inspection documents before quotation.

Dimensional Specifications & Product Matrix

We offer a comprehensive range of dimensions to support full-well construction cycles:

Product type	Size / OD range		Length range	Common grades		Connection / end type	Main application		RFQ points

API 5CT tubing pipe	1.050 in to 4-1/2 in (26.7 mm to 114.3 mm)		Range 1, Range 2, Range 3	J55, N80, L80, P110		NUE, EUE or premium connection	Oil and gas production, injection and workover service		Size, weight, grade, connection, drift, corrosion condition, pressure requirement
Couplings	Matched with casing or tubing size		Matched with pipe body	Same grade as pipe body or project requirement		API or premium thread	Pipe-to-pipe connection		Thread compatibility, marking, phosphating, inspection certificate
Pup joints / crossovers	Project-specific size		Custom short length	Same as pipe body or project requirement		Matched connection	Length adjustment and transition connection		Exact length, size, grade, thread type, coating and packing
Length range		Metric length			Imperial length			Typical buyer note
Range 1		4.88 m to 7.62 m			16 ft to 25 ft			Used when short sections or project-specific handling limits are required
Range 2		8.53 m to 10.36 m			28 ft to 34 ft			Common range for many casing and tubing procurement requirements
Range 3		11.58 m to 14.63 m			38 ft to 48 ft			Used when longer strings and fewer connections are preferred

Global Standards & Material Compliance

Our production facility strictly adheres to the latest international energy sector benchmarks:

Primary Standard: API Spec 5CT (Latest Edition), API 5B.

Material Categories:

General Service: J55, K55, N80 (N80-1, N80-Q).

High-Strength: P110, Q125.

Corrosion Resistant (Sour Service): L80 (1, 9Cr, 13Cr), C90, T95, C110.

Precision Connection & End Preparation

To ensure gas-tight sealing and mechanical reliability under tensile load:

API Connections: STC (Short Round Thread), LTC (Long Round Thread), BTC (Buttress Thread), and NUE/EUE for tubing.

Premium Connections: Gas-tight, metal-to-metal seal connections available for high-pressure reservoirs and horizontal drilling.

Thread Protection: Professional composite or heavy-duty pressed steel thread protectors to prevent mechanical impact damage.

Advanced Surface Mitigation & Coating

External Protection: Clear varnish, black painting, or high-performance anti-corrosion oil.

Internal Coating: Liquid epoxy or specialized plastic coating to reduce friction and mitigate internal sour-service corrosion.

Atmospheric Storage: Long-term storage inhibitors applied to ensure "Mill-New" condition upon arrival at the rig site.

Critical Industry Applications

Our OCTG solutions are the benchmark for reliability in:

Upstream Exploration: Onshore and offshore conventional oil and gas drilling.

Unconventional Reservoirs: Shale gas hydraulic fracturing and horizontal well completions.

Geothermal Energy: High-temperature geothermal well casing.

CCS Technology: Carbon Capture and Storage injection wells.

Rigorous QA/QC & Technical Documentation

Testing Regime: 100% Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) including Ultrasonic (UT), Magnetic Particle (MPI), and Eddy Current (ET). Full-length drift testing and hydrostatic testing are mandatory.

Traceability: Mill Test Certificates (MTC) issued according to EN 10204 3.1.

Project Support: Provision of ITP (Inspection and Test Plan) and MPS (Manufacturing Procedure Specification) to satisfy international tender audits.

Export Logistics & Maritime Packaging

We recognize that logistics integrity is as vital as metallurgy:

Bundling: Precise hexagonal bundles secured with high-tensile steel straps and nylon lifting slings.

Loading Precautions: * Strict use of rubber-padded racks and timber dunnage to prevent steel-on-steel friction.

Robust sea-worthy lashing in bulk vessels or containers to mitigate shifting during maritime transit.

Third-Party Inspection (TPI): Full cooperation with SGS, BV, or TUV for final pre-shipment release notes.
