In this technique the raw material is welded longitudinally under the bed of flux( lime, silica, MnO2, etc.
) which prevents oxidation of base and filler material and provides a conductive current path between electrode and work. Following are the methods to produce LSAW pipes.UOEJCO Let us have a look at the plants situated across the country that produce LSAW pipes through JCO process.JCO-1Plant Location:Nanakapaya, Mundra, Gujarat.Pipe Diameter:457mm(18 “) – 1219mm(48”)Strip Width:1317mm – 3779mmWall Thickness:6.

Cold Expander (13m) to ensure tight and uniform control on pipes dimensionHSAWSpiral welded pipe production by submerged arc method is based on using tandem welding technique for joining inside and outside coil edges, which have been trimmed and beveled by carbide milling for high quality weld structure.Welding of hot rolled steel coils takes spiral form after passing through preforming and forming rolls. Excellent exterior weld quality at high production speeds is provided by double submerged arc welding process.
Manufactured pipes are cut to the desired lengths at the exit of the pipe machine. Pipe ends are beveled by means of carbide machining for accurate on-site welding.Let us have a look at the plants situated across the country that produce HSAW pipes SPIRAL-1Plant Location:Samaghogha, Mundra, Gujarat.Pipe Diameter:457mm(18 “) – 2134mm(84”)Strip Width:750mm – 2000mmWall Thickness:6mm – 20mmMaterial Grade:API 5L, Grade up to X80Pipe Length:10m – 12.8mPlant Capacity:150,000 MT PASPIRAL-2Plant Location:Samaghogha, Mundra, Gujarat.Pipe Diameter:457mm(18 “) – 2540mm(100”)Strip Width:800mm – 2000mmWall Thickness:6mm – 20mmMaterial Grade:API 5L, Grade up to X80Pipe Length:8m – 18mPlant Capacity:240,000 MT PASPIRAL-3Plant Location:Bellary,Karnataka.Pipe Diameter:457mm(18 “) – 2134mm(84”)Strip Width:750mm – 2000mmWall Thickness:6 mm – 25mmMaterial Grade:API 5L, Grade up to X80Pipe Length:10m – 12.8mPlant Capacity:200,000 MT PASPIRAL-4Plant Location:Kosi Kalan,Mathura,U.

The advantages and disadvantages of welded steel pipesAdvantages of HSAWPreferred when high diameters required.HRC is cheaper then plates hence cost wise HSAW is cheaper.
HSAW weld length is more almost double from other so that it is used for higher thickness.HSAW pipe is submerged due to which oxidation is less due to inert gas.Advantages of LSAWPreferred for high thickness pipe.
LSAW weld length is smaller so that it is used for smaller thickness.LSAW pipe is submerged due to which oxidation is less due to inert gas.It uses heavy machinery and hence re-locatable.LSAW is tonnage based and it is volume based logistics.
Disadvantages of HSAWNot used for higher thickness.Pipes having low diameter and higher thickness cannot be manufactured via HSAW route.It has low thickness due to which number of stack is more.In HSAW spider is required due to which additional cost is high.Disadvantages of LSAWNot used for lower thickness.Pipes having high diameter and lower thickness cannot be manufactured via LSAW route.In this number of oxidation is less due to inert gas.
In LSAW length of weld is smaller.In logistic LSAW is tonnage based.PROCESS OF MARKETING IN JINDALSProject Identification ( Direct contact / local agent/self contact)Discuss with project team / Presentation/ introction of company/ track record/ company profileMill audit for approvalPost Audit Closing to Technical Deviations and Observations, if any.Technical Qualification as per Customer/Project RequirementsApproval as approved vendor for product in official Vendor List (AVL)Tendering – Direct Tender Call Off/Direct Proposal to End Customer Techno-Commercial Bidding to EPC contractors, if Turnkey ContractNegotiation on Technical ProposalNegotiation on Commercial ProposalForwarding of contract/Contractual Terms Agreement with Customer Supply /delivery/ insurance/ shipment/ local taxation etc CASE STUDY ON PREVIOUS PROJECT WITH AUSTRALIA Gladstone LNG project , AustraliaEPC Contractor ( Saipem Italy )GLNG is a liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant in Queensland, Australia. It is a leading project in the conversion of coal seam gas (coalbed methane) into LNG. The project was announced in July 2007. Its first LNG tanker load departed 16 Oct 2015.
The second LNG production train began making LNG on 26 May 2016 .TECHNICAL FEATURES OF THE PROJECT The project involves the production of coal seam natural gas in the Surat and Bowen basins in eastern Queensland, which surround the regional centres of Roma and Fairview. Gas will be piped then 435 kilometres (270 mi) to a gas liquefaction plant at Hamilton Point West on Curtis Island near Gladstone, Queensland. There, coal seam natural gas will be converted into LNG. The initial annual capacity of the LNG plant was between 3 million and 4 million tonnes of LNG when the first production train entered service in 2015. Annual capacity doubled when the second train came on line in 2016.
The front-end engineering and design (FEED) phase of the project was carried out by Foster Wheeler and Bechtel. A final investment decision on the GLNG project was approved by the State and Federal Governments in May and September 2010 respectively.PROJECT COMPLETION AND OPERATION GLNG exported its first load of LNG on 16 October 2015. Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk, Minister for State Development Dr Anthony Lynham and Member for Gladstone Glenn Butcher were in Gladstone for the milestone to mark the first shipment. The Malaysian LNG tanker Seri Bakti transported the shipment to GLNG’s customers in South Korea. HIGHLIGHTS OF THE PROJECTJINDAL GOT THE ORDER ON 17TH DECEMBER, 2011 AND WAS COMPLETED BY 16TH NOVEMBER, 2012.
180 MILLION WAS THE TOTAL ORDER DELIVERY WAS WITHIN 15 MONTHS FROM ORDER (8TH FEBRUARY, 2011).42″ INCH. DIAMETER PIPES WERE REQUIRED.THE PROJECT WAS 430 KMS. PRESENT MARKET REACHSince its inception in 1984, Jindal Saw has enjoyed the reputation of being the frontmen in pipe technologies for on and off-shore oil and gas projects in India. It is also the market leader in terms of exports.Our present products land on the expectations of end users as per the API5L, ISO, DEP Shell, DNV OFS, SAMSS standards etc. Our experience in handling various large and small scale projects has helped us make a name for ourself in the market.
Let us have a look at our present reach.The picture above clearly shows that our organization enjoys a worldwide clientele. Some of our esteemed clients are as follows :ABU DHABI GAS INDUSTRIES LIMITED (GASCO) AGIP ANGLO AMERICAN SUR S.A. ADMA OPCO BECHTEL BRITISH GAS EXPLORATION AND PRODUCTION INDIA (P) LTD. CAIRN ENERGYCHEVRON DUBAI SUPPLY AUTHORITY (DUSUP) GAS AUTHORITY OF INDIA LIMITED (GAIL) GE OIL & GAS GLNG, AUSTRALIA INDIAN OIL CORPORATION LIMITED (IOCL) INTERNATIONAL PETROLEUM INVESTMENT COMPANY (IPIC) KUWAIT OIL COMPANY OIL AND NATURAL GAS COMPANY (ONGC) PETROBRAS PETROLEUM DEVELOPMENT OMAN (PDO) QATAR PETROLEUM QUESTAR GAS MANAGEMENT RELIANCE INDUSTRIES LIMITED (RIL) REPSOL SAIPEM SAUDI ARAMCO SHELL SOUTH OIL COMPANY, IRAQ (SOC) STROYTRANS GAS SYRIAN GAS COMPANYFINDING THE MARKETThe market for us essentially lies in every nook and corner that has energy needs. With growing economies in all the nations, oil and gas export and import plays a major role in determining GDP of nations. Transportation of these resources lies in pipelines spread in and outside of oil and gas producing countries.
Let us have a look at devising a general market strategy on two market scales. They are :InternationalDomestic International Market of Oil and GasInternational Market of Oil and Gas : The production of the oil and gas is going to be dominated by Middle Eastern Countries and African nations in the projections by 2025. The demand will however be dominated by Asian Countries by 2025. Talking about dependency, a lot will depend on the effective availability of these resources, viable alternate resources and production rates of oil in comparison to its substitutes(Tar sands, Shale gas). More or less production is going to be controlled by member countries of Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries. So that will be our first point of concern.1) Organization of the Petroleum Exporting CountriesThe Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries is a permanent intergovernmental organization of oil-exporting developing nations that coordinates and unifies the petroleum policies of its Member Countries.
The global economy represented the main risk to the oil market early in this decade, as global macroeconomic uncertainties and heightened risks surrounding the international financial system weighed on economies. Escalating social unrest in many parts of the world affected both supply and demand throughout the first half of the decade, although the market remained relatively balanced. Prices were stable between 2011 and mid-2014, before a combination of speculation and oversupply caused them to fall in 2014. Trade patterns continued to shift, with demand growing further in Asian countries and generally shrinking in the OECD.
The world’s focus on multilateral environmental matters began to sharpen, with expectations for a new UN-led climate change agreement. OPEC continued to seek stability in the market, and looked to further enhance its dialogue and cooperation with consumers, and non-OPEC producers. Due to our impressive scorecard in all the middle eastern countries we have a stronghold in the entire region. Therefore for future projects that turn up in these OPEC nations of middle east, we will be a favorite in compliance with high quality standards we have already delivered in setting up pipelines as per the needs of end users and contractors. The ways to market ourselves in a prevalent market would be : Arriving at good terms with governments of these countries.Understanding the political shifts in these countries between different governments.Using distance to our advantage in case the project demands speedy delivery of pipes when at competition with our Asian counterparts.
Trying to set up manufacturing plants in these countries as they would help us be the foremost deliverer and also mitigate the local content requirement ( if any) whenever a new project turns up in any of them.Following the EPC and PMC companies from all around the world undertaking the projects, religiously. Middle east is the dominator of global oil and gas market, the idea is to be centered around it so that we maintain a stronghold in the region and improvise it in years to come. Now when we come to other member countries of the OPEC it is quite evident that we haven’t focused much on countries like Venezuela and Equatorial Guinea.
We have a lot of prospectives as these countries have a lot of unexplored potential in the oil and gas market. Venezuela is now the country with largest oil reserves in the world, so using our American Unit of Jindal Tubular for future prospects would certainly play a role in getting pipeline projects. Also if we look at the figures of oil exports of Venezuela, it’s 81% less than its counterpart in the list of biggest oil reserves i.e.
Saudi Arabia. Therefore it is definitely going to a budding market in the future, considering the fact that oil and gas forms the basis of their economy. Talking about the newest member of OPEC nations, Equatorial New Guinea. As of 2005, according to World Oil, Equatorial Guinea’s proven oil reserves were put at 1.28 billion barrels (204×106 m3). In 2005, oil production was estimated at 420,000 barrels per day (67,000 m3/d), of which crude oil accounted for over 90%. So to follow the trend the consumption has gone up in this decade as compared to the last one, therefore it is simple that the production and export has grown too. This growth forms the basis of new pipeline projects in future.
The sooner we start using our sources to enter into this country’s market, the better our prospects would be. Ecuador is however not going to be a hopeful market for us because the Government is trying to reduce its dependency on fossil fuels by shifting to hydroelectric power. What that means is that they are going to have a lot of river interlinking projects for irrigation and domestic use. So it might not be a future market for oil and gas transportation projects but definitely a market for water and sewage transportation.
We have already done projects in Angola and Nigeria so it means not much needed to establish a market stronghold there. 2) Continent-wise Distribution of the MarketASIA : We have all the major producers and consumer markets covered in Asia. So Asia won’t be much of a concern in terms of market.
AUSTRALIA : Australia has three countries in its account. They are Australia, Papua New Guinea and NewZealand. Australia is huge in terms of area so oil and gas supply across the country is going to be of major concern for the end users. Also, our presence in the country will play a pivotal role.
Talks are ramping up about a proposed 450 kilometer gas pipeline set to stretch through north-western New South Wales to the planned Narrabri Gas Project. Papua New Guinea is however emerging as an LNG(Liquified Natural Gas) market.NORTH AMERICA : A potential market for us lies in two countries in i.e.
Cuba and Trinidad & Tobago. With both these countries looking to widen their export across the North American nations, it is highly likely that they will broaden the prospects in terms of pipeline projects inside and outside of the country. With Cuba coming to diplomatic relations with the United States of America over the embargo conflict.
It is highly likely that Cuba will now utilize its export market through U.S.A.
in the next 5 years. Our strategic unit in U.S.A and sound government relations will help us get deals with Cuba. But, considering the fact that Government in U.S.A has changed in 2017 and has applied strict measures with Cuba, we might have to wait longer for projects to flourish.
AFRICA : We have established a sound market reputation in Africa, with the OPEC African Nations and other countries of the continent. What is interesting here that as these nations look forward to expand their economic horizons, energy needs will be a primary factor. Two countries that should concern us in particular are Congo and South Sudan. South Sudan and Kenya are coming to business terms due to failure of Ugandan and Kenyan deal in terms of oil exports as per reports.
Therefore a strategy involving our acclaimed presence in Kenya will help us getting deals in South Sudan. Also, since this continent still lies in deep rooted poverty getting investors through our channel will help us become more prominent in leading pipeliine projects.SOUTH AMERICA : We have a name for ourselves in all the resource rich countries of this continent except Venezuela.EUROPE : We are in good shape in the European market due to our dominance in the middle east. Continuance of great quality work will ensure our presence in the years to come.
