GNEE, a global leader in the supply of
Oil Country Tubular Goods (OCTG), is pleased to announce the successful delivery of a significant order of
API 5CT N80Q Tubing and
BTC (Buttress Thread) Couplings to the
United Arab Emirates (UAE). This shipment is designed to support high-pressure oil and gas extraction projects in the Middle East region.
The United Arab Emirates, particularly in the Abu Dhabi region, operates some of the world’s most challenging oilfields. To meet these demands, the
N80Q grade was selected for its superior mechanical properties. Unlike standard N80-1, N80Q undergoes a rigorous
Quenching and Tempering (Q&T) heat treatment process, providing higher toughness and impact resistance, essential for the deep, high-temperature reservoirs found in the UAE.
Why BTC (Buttress Thread) Connections?
The inclusion of
BTC Couplings ensures maximum connection strength. The Buttress Thread profile is specifically engineered to handle high axial tension and compression loads. This makes it a preferred choice for UAE operators who require reliable sealing and structural integrity under heavy string weights.
