ChelPipe Takes Part in Rosneft-Yamal Project

ChelPipe Group (“ChelPipe” or “the Group”) will deliver more than 9,000 tonnes of large-diameter pipes (LDP) for the construction of Rosneft’s Suzun-Vanqor pipeline, part of the Yamal pipeline system, in May-July 2014.

The pipes have a diameter of 530 mm and wall thickness of 9 mm, are made with 09GBYU-grade stainless steel, have a polyurethane foam coating (PUF thickness – 100mm, galvanised shell – 1.5mm), and have an operating pressure of 6.3 MPa. The thermal insulation coating is vital for their successful long-term use. The Suzun-Vanqor pipeline will run through terrain where climatic conditions are harsh, with temperatures ranging from -55 to +50 ° C.

The Group’s pipe and oilfield services divisions have been working successfully with Rosneft for years. ChelPipe will supply Rosneft with the full range of pipe products and equipment for oil fields. The Group’s participation in such complex projects in the oil and gas sector underscores its reputation as a reliable supplier of quality assured products.
