Tata Steel has been awarded a contract to supply pipe for Enterprise Products Partners L.P.’s new crude oil export pipeline in the Gulf of Mexico’s Keathley Canyon area.
Under the new contract, Tata Steel will deliver more than 48,000 tonnes of steel pipe for the Lucius Development Project, which has the capacity to produce in excess of 80,000 barrels of oil per day. The pipe — 105 miles (169 kilometers) of 18-inch diameter line pipe — will be supplied from the company’s 42-inch mill in Hartlepool, England. Designed to meet the required specification for deep-water conditions, it will be laid at water depths of up to 7,000 feet (2,133 meters).
“We have a long record of success with providing line pipe for deep-water projects. This is a significant contract for Tata Steel,” said Deirdre Fox, director of sales and marketing at Tata Steel. “We have excellent dimensional tolerance control within the 42-inch mill in Hartlepool, which enables us to offer deep-water anti-collapse properties and fast lay rates. This contract enhances our position as the global leader in delivering line pipe for deep-water projects.”
