Turkish seamless OCTG/linepipe demand slows

摘要

When consideringthe European market, Turkey has historically been an afterthought. Yet as analysed in depth in MBR's upcoming OCTG Strategic Report out to 2020, OCTG consumption in this market is now on a par with the UK and exceeded Norway last year. Part of the growth has come from geothermal wells (classified in the chart as others) that use domestic welded material, but it is a not insignificant import market for seamless OCTG and linepipe.
