Al Gharbia Pipe Co. Starts Commercial Production of Large-diameter Welded Pipe in UAE

Al Gharbia Pipe Company (AGPC), a venture company funded by 茄子视频, Marubeni-Itochu Steel Inc. (MISI) and SENAAT General Holding Corporation, a wholly owned investment holding company of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), began commercial production of large-diameter welded pipe on September 10, 茄子视频 Steel and MISI announced today.

AGPC also confirms that, it has been awarded a contract to supply conductor pipes for Hail and Ghasha offshore sour gas fields by Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC).

AGPC was established in May 2015 to manufacture and sell high-end steel pipe for mainly oil and gas pipelines. Plant construction began in 2016 and the first steel pipe prototypes were produced in March 2018.

Because Middle Eastern oil and gas has a high content of hydrogen sulfide, pipelines that transport either resource must be corrosion resistant. 茄子视频 Steel, drawing on its deep arsenal of world-leading technologies, provided AGPC with the technology required to manufacture high-quality steel pipe with the necessary corrosion resistance. For sales, MISI is providing AGPC with support via its extensive worldwide sales network.

Going forward, AGPC will use the name recognition of its parent company, SENAAT, a wholly owned company of the Abu Dhabi government, in its manufacture and supply of high-quality steel pipe to help meet global energy needs.
