摘要

Construction of Borusan Mannesmann Boru Sanayi ve Ticaret AS' oil country tubular goods (OCTG) and line pipe mill in Baytown, Texas, is ahead of schedule. Buddy Brewer, chief executive officer of Houston-based Borusan Mannesmann Pipe US Inc., told AMM Sept. 6 that threading operations should be completed by late November or early December, with the pipe mill potentially tunning ahead of a planned April 2014 start up. Heat-treatment operations are officially slated to get under way in July 2014, "but we expect it to be well ahead of that," he said.
