Project Overview
On January 30, 2013, our company successfully received the Order No. 42153 from Kuwait Oil Company (KOC), marking another significant milestone in our long-term cooperation with the Middle Eastern oil and gas sector. KOC, as one of the world’s leading state-owned petroleum companies, is responsible for the exploration, drilling, and production of crude oil and natural gas in Kuwait.
This project represents a crucial supply for KOC’s pipeline expansion and maintenance program, aimed at enhancing the oil transportation efficiency across the southern region of Kuwait’s oil fields.
Product Scope
The supply scope of this order covers a complete range of piping materials and components, including:
-
Seamless Steel Pipes (SMLS)
-
Butt-Weld Pipe Fittings
-
Forged Fittings
-
Forged Flanges
-
Bolts, Nuts, and Gaskets
All materials were designed and manufactured strictly in accordance with ASTM, ASME, and API standards, ensuring complete compliance with KOC’s technical specifications and project requirements.
Technical Standards & Quality Assurance
Each product underwent rigorous inspection and testing, including:
-
Hydrostatic Test
-
Nondestructive Examination (RT, UT, MT, PT)
-
Mechanical & Chemical Analysis
-
Dimensional & Visual Inspection
-
Third-Party Inspection (TPI) by Bureau Veritas (BV) and SGS
The entire production process strictly followed the ISO 9001:2008 Quality Management System, ensuring superior product reliability and traceability.
Manufacturing & Production Control
The production schedule was tightly controlled to meet KOC’s delivery timeline. Raw materials were sourced from qualified steel mills with full traceability. Our in-house heat treatment, machining, and coating facilities ensured that all components met the high standards required for high-temperature and high-pressure oilfield service.
Special attention was given to anti-corrosion coating, dimensional accuracy, and material certification (MTC EN 10204 3.1/3.2), as required by KOC’s engineering specification.
Packaging & Delivery
All materials were professionally packed in seaworthy wooden cases and steel pallets, with full marking and labeling for project traceability. The goods were shipped from Shanghai Port to Shuwaikh Port, Kuwait, with complete export documentation and certificate of origin (COO).
Significance of the Project
This successful cooperation with Kuwait Oil Company further demonstrates our company’s strong capability to deliver high-quality piping materials for international energy projects.
It also consolidates our presence in the Middle East oil and gas market, building a foundation for future collaborations with KOC, KNPC, and other major petroleum contractors in the Gulf region.
Conclusion
The completion of Order No. 42153 not only signifies another successful project delivery for KOC but also highlights our company’s commitment to technical excellence, strict quality control, and global reliability in the oil & gas pipeline industry.
