TITANIUM PRODUCTS OF VSMPO-AVISMA CORPORATION INCORPORATED IN DRILLING UNITS

Oil production mastering initiated by Russian oil industrial companies on marine shelf is a well-known fact, which is currently supported with Caspian shelf projects and intensification of work for “Sakhalin – 1”, “Sakhalin–4,5” projects. It is worth mentioning about construction, in particular, re-equipment of floating boring station for “Prirazlomnaya” deposits.

The complex of engineering structures for the development of offshore oil and gas deposits includes isolated stationary or floating units (platforms) with the weight of up to 300 thousand tons, downhole equipment, sea-floor equipment with the weight of up to 1500-2000 tons, cable systems for hole remote control, flexible pipe lines with suspension and counterbalancing systems, large-section transport underwater pipelines, ships for pipe laying, oil tankers, coastal equipment and other types of equipment.

There is every prerequisite for the successful application of titanium alloys in the following systems and equipment for oil and gas offshore deposits development: deep-water drilling risers; casing tubes; producing risers; pumps and systems of sea water, drinking water, drilling water and associated water; tubings for process solutions circulation systems; liquid separators, heat exchanging equipment of various designations; high-pressure vessels; high-strength flexible braces for platform fastening.
