Reliable Supply for Demanding Energy Projects
The oil & gas industry relies on precision-engineered infrastructure — and at its core lies the steel pipe. Whether it’s for upstream drilling, midstream transport, or downstream refining, choosing the right steel pipe for oil & gas is critical to safety, cost, and operational efficiency.
At Pipekom, we specialize in sourcing and supplying certified welded steel pipes tailored to the strict demands of oil & gas projects across the Middle East, Africa, and Eurasia.
📌 Why Welded Steel Pipes Are the Backbone of Oil & Gas Infrastructure
The global oil & gas pipeline market is expected to reach $61.8 billion by 2030, with a CAGR of over 6.3%. Much of this infrastructure relies on ERW, LSAW, and SSAW pipes, each chosen based on:
Pressure class (up to API 5L X70 & X80)
Diameter (½” to 160”)
Corrosion resistance (3LPE, FBE, cement mortar)
Weld reliability & inspection standards
