OMK presents to Gazprom new developments

The event was attended by the executives of Gazprom and its subsidiaries, chief executives of the Russian pipe manufacturers OMK, TMK, Chelpipe Group, Severstal, leaders of the Pipe Manufacturers’ Association as well as representatives of the research and the design communities.

OMK Chairman of the Board Anatoly Sedykh made a presentation describing new OMK products designed specifically with future Gazprom requirements in mind. These include high-strain pipe for seismic and permafrost areas, cold bends made of such pipe as well as highly H2S cracking-resistant pipes and connections for Gazprom pipelines.

As further import substitution effort, Anatoly Sedykh re-confirmed OMK’s plan by 2021 fully to meet Gazprom’s demand with domestic special-purpose ball valves which are currently only available as imports.

“We are geared to continue developing new products and fully supporting deliveries of pipe, pipeline components, and pipeline fittings based on Gazprom’s most demanding specifications,” noted OMK Chairman Anatoly Sedykh.
