JFE Steel to Supply Line Pipe for Amberjack Pipeline Project
04/25/2012 - JFE Steel Corp., in cooperation with Marubeni-Itochu Steel Inc., will supply approximately 100,000 tonnes of API X65-grade UOE line pipe for Amberjack Pipeline Co. LLC’s Jack & St. Malo oil export pipeline project in the Gulf of Mexico.
JFE Steel Corp., in cooperation with Marubeni-Itochu Steel Inc., will supply approximately 100,000 tonnes of API X65-grade UOE line pipe for Amberjack Pipeline Co. LLC’s Jack & St. Malo oil export pipeline project in the Gulf of Mexico.
Amberjack Pipeline is a joint venture between Chevron Pipe Line Co. and Shell Pipeline Co. LP. Chevron Pipe Line will construct and operate this pipeline for Amberjack.
The Jack & St. Malo oil fields (operated by Chevron USA Inc. and Chevron affiliate Union Oil Co. of California, respectively) are located approximately 450 km (280 mi) south of New Orleans, La., in the Walker Ridge area of the Gulf. JFE Steel’s UOE pipe, with a 24-inch outer diameter, will be used for an approximately 223-km pipeline to transport crude oil to a trans-shipment platform within the Gulf.
The order calls for high-end line pipe capable of withstanding the pressures and low temperatures of sea depths at 2100 meters.
API X65 grade UOE line pipe is a high-strength steel pipe used for undersea pipelines to transport oil, natural gas, etc. over long distances. API is a standard set by American Petroleum Institute; API X65 indicates 450 MPa of yield strength.
