Sandvik Materials Technology and Tenaris have been awarded contracts to supply the majority of the corrosion resistant alloy, needs for the Qatar Gas 3 & 4, and Qatar Shell GTL Pearl projects in the North Field, offshore Qatar. The order is for seamless production tubing in Sandvik Sanicro 28, with TenarisBlue premium connections, which will be delivered according to drilling schedules over the next three years. The supply agreements are the result of a strategic alliance signed by Sandvik and Tenaris two years ago.

This includes the development of CRA materials (13Cr and 25Cr) with TenarisBlue Dopeless connections, as well as other made-to-order specialty products. According to German Cura, Commercial Director for Tenaris, "The alliance has proved very productive. Combining Sandvik's and Tenaris's capabilities, we have been able to offer the sophisticated products, that the oilfield market requires, to cope with the most complex drilling environments. In particular, the award of these projects confirms the strong positioning of our integrated supply solutions in the region and we look forward to continuing a long-term relationship." Ad Raatgeep, General Manager of the Sandvik tube operation in Sweden said, "This order confirms that our alliance with Tenaris is a successful concept. It fits very well into Sandvik's long term strategy of developing advanced materials for the oil and gas industry. The order also confirms Sandvik's and Tenaris's positions as leading suppliers of advanced materials to this demanding industry. We look forward to a very exciting future."
