OCTG Pipes for Upstream Oil & Gas: API 5CT Tubing, Casing, and Drilling Types

What are OCTG pipes? Oil country tubular goods are pipes used for onshore and offshore oil & gas upstream operations (extract oil and gas from the wellbore). OCTG pipes may be classified into three main families: drill pipes (to perforate the soil and reach the reserve), casing pipes (to consolidate the well and prepare it for the actual extraction), and tubing pipes (to extract the product from the ground to the surface).

Pipe Coating, Lining, and Cladding for Extended Service: Use, Types, and Different Materials

What is the difference between external pipe coating and internal pipe lining and cladding? External pipe coatings are used to protect the metal from corrosive environments (3LPE-coated pipes are the most common choice). Internal lining (for example PTFE) protects the pipe from corrosive fluids. Clad pipes (CRA or “Bimetallic Pipes”) have the inner surface covered by higher-grade materials to achieve stronger resistance while decreasing the overall pipe cost. EXTERNALLY COATED
