TMK Supplying 15,000 Metric Tons of Pipe to New Project in Turkmenistan
10/27/2021 - Türkmengaz, the national gas company of Turkmenistan, has contracted TMK to supply 15,000 metric tons of pipe for a new gas turbine power plant project currently under construction in Turkmenistan’s eastern Lebap Region.
Volzhsky Pipe Plant and Chelyabinsk Pipe Plant, both part of TMK, will be shipping the large-diameter high-strength pipes with an external insulation coating to Türkmengaz, TMK announced yesterday in a press release. The pipes will be used to transport natural gas from existing gas fields to the new Zerger plant.
“Central Asia, where major energy projects are being stepped up, is a priority market for TMK. As part of cooperation with Turkmenistan, TMK’s plants have been successfully supplying pipe and tubular products for many years to the fuel and energy sector, and the power industry of the country. A new contract for the supply of high-tech products to Türkmengaz, the state-owned company responsible for power generation, transmission and distribution, will promote the development of Turkmenistan’s energy infrastructure and expand its export potential. We plan to fully deliver under the contract as early as 2021,” said Denis Prikhodko, TMK’s director of sales.
