As the oil and gas industry develops ever-more challenging reserves, technologies have to adapt and evolve to cope with these more aggressive, corrosive environments characterized by high pressures and high temperatures. Tata Steel specializes in material for tough offshore and onshore plays, with each development bringing a new set of testing considerations in terms of pipe manufacture and installation - spurring the sector on to look at higher strength materials. Offshore material generally is optimized at strength level API X65 for a balance of strength, toughness, and ductility as well as corrosion resistance.
