OCTG stands for Oil Country Tubular Goods, which refers to a family of seamless rolled products used in the exploration and production of oil and gas. OCTG pipes are typically made from high-strength carbon or alloy steel. These materials offer excellent mechanical properties, such as high tensile strength, toughness, and resistance to corrosion.
Types of OCTG Pipes:
Casing: Casing pipes are installed during the drilling process to support the walls of the wellbore and prevent collapse.
Tubing: Tubing is used inside the casing to transport oil or gas from the reservoir to the surface.
Drill Pipe: Drill pipes are used to transmit drilling fluid and torque from the drilling rig to the drill bit during the drilling process.
OCTG pipes come in various sizes, OD size ranging from 1.05''-20'' based on API standards. OCTG pipes feature threaded or coupled connections that allow for easy assembly and disassembly during installation and maintenance.
