TMK Provides Pipes and Services for Orenburgneft’s hydraulic fracturing project

The fracturing operations will be managed by Schlumberger.

For the first time in Russia, TMK’s premium products are engaged in hydraulic fracturing activities, which require pipes of high performance in terms of strength and structural integrity. The use of these premium pipes secures gas and oil tightness of the pipe string and therefore ensures efficient and safe hydrocarbon production.
