Steel Grades: H40, J55, K55, N80, L80, P110, Q125, etc.
1.2 Tubing
Function: Suspended inside the casing to transport oil and gas from the bottom of the well to the ground.

Specifications: Outer diameter 48.36–114.3mm, wall thickness 4.83–9.52mm, length 6–12.5m.
Steel Grades: N80, L80, C90, T95, P110 (sulfur-resistant / high strength grade).
1.3 Drill Pipe
Function: Connect drill bits, transmit torque and drilling fluid, and bear combined loads of tension, compression, torsion and bending.
Specifications: Outer diameter 60.3–168.3mm, standard length 9.14m (30ft); Steel Grades: E75, X95, G105, S135.
1.4 Line Pipe
Function: Long-distance transportation of crude oil and natural gas, applicable for high-pressure main pipelines.
Standards: API 5L (PSL1/PSL2), GB/T 9711.
Steel Grades: B, X42, X52, X60, X70, X80 (X denotes yield strength in ksi).
2. Material and Core Performance
2.1 Common Steel Grades & Applicable Working Conditions
Normal Environment: J55/K55 (low strength), N80 (medium strength), P110 (high strength).
Sulfur-containing Environment (H₂S): L80 (benchmark sulfur resistance), C90/T95 (high sulfur resistance, anti-stress corrosion cracking).
Heavy Corrosion (CO₂/Cl⁻): 13Cr, 22Cr stainless steel, nickel-based alloy for extreme corrosion conditions.
2.2 Core Performance Requirements
High Strength: Yield strength ≥55–150ksi, resistant to internal pressure and external collapse.
High Toughness: Low-temperature impact energy ≥27J, avoid brittle fracture.
Corrosion Resistance: Resist H₂S, CO₂ and chloride ion erosion, anti-sulfide stress cracking (SSCC).
Tight Sealing: Premium thread types with zero leakage under high pressure.
3. Manufacturing Process & Executive Standards
3.1 Manufacturing Process
Seamless Pipe: Billet heating → Piercing → Pipe rolling → Sizing → Heat treatment → Thread processing → Inspection.
Welded Pipe (ERW/HFW): Steel strip forming → High-frequency welding → Heat treatment → Sizing → Thread processing → Inspection.
3.2 Main Executive Standards
International Standards: API 5CT (Casing & Tubing), API 5B (Thread Specification), API 5D (Drill Pipe), API 5L (Line Pipe).
Chinese National Standards: GB/T 9711 (Line Pipe), SY/T 6194 (Oil Casing & Tubing).
4. Thread Types & Connection Modes
Standard Threads: BTC (Buttress Thread Coupling), STC (Short Round Thread), LTC (Long Round Thread).
Premium Threads: Metal-to-metal sealing, high torsion resistance and anti-galling performance; suitable for high-pressure and deep wells, such as VAM TOP, BGC, BGT1.
5. Surface Treatment & Anti-corrosion
External Coating: Black paint, coal tar epoxy, 3PE three-layer polyethylene coating for buried pipeline anti-corrosion.
Internal Coating: Anti-corrosion coating and drag reduction coating to reduce scaling and friction.
Coupling Anti-corrosion: Phosphating, galvanizing and rust preventive oil coating.
6. Quality Inspection & Acceptance
Non-destructive Testing (NDT): Ultrasonic Testing (UT), Magnetic Particle Testing (MT), Eddy Current Testing (ET), Hydrostatic Pressure Test.
Mechanical Performance Test: Tensile test, impact test, hardness test, flattening test.
Thread Inspection: Tooth profile, pitch, standoff distance and sealing surface detection.
7. Packaging & Delivery
Packaging: Bundled in 5–20 pieces per bundle; thread ends protected by thread protectors; wrapped with tarpaulin for rainproof.
Shipping: Departure from Tianjin/Qingdao Port, delivery time 5–7 days; support FOB, CIF, CFR trade terms.
8. Selection Guide
By Well Depth: Shallow well (J55/K55), Medium-deep well (N80/L80), Deep & Ultra-deep well (P110/Q125).
By Corrosion Medium: Non-sulfur environment (N80/P110), Sulfur-containing environment (L80/C90/T95), High sulfur environment (C90/T95), CO₂ corrosion environment (13Cr).
By Working Pressure: Low pressure (≤35MPa), Medium pressure (35–70MPa), High pressure (≥70MPa, adopt premium thread & high steel grade).
