Sustainability starts with the selection and design of the OCTG solutions used. voestalpine Tubulars supports you in optimizing the entire lifecycle of your applications – from installation through to long-term operation. Our solutions are designed to ensure the long-term performance of wells while minimizing environmental impact. The result: more stable processes, fewer interventions, and a more sustainable use of resources.

Holistic approach for greater sustainability

The long-term well integrity is crucial for sustainable and safe OCTG applications. It forms the foundation for reliable operations and is a key factor in reducing emissions. Even the smallest leakages can compromise efficiency and increase environmental impact – making it essential to rely on solutions that ensure permanent tightness, even under extreme conditions.

Gas-tight Proprietary Connections (CAL IV) such as VAsuperior® or VAxplorer® are specifically engineered to meet these challenges. They are designed to withstand the highest mechanical loads as well as pressure and temperature fluctuations, while ensuring maximum tightness. This significantly reduces the risk of leakages and enhances overall operational safety.

The result is a stable and long-lasting well performance with minimal maintenance requirements. Operators benefit from increased process reliability, extended service life, and more sustainable operations – even in demanding geological environments.


DryTec® – Clean, safe, and efficient

With DryTec®, voestalpine Tubulars sets new standards in environmentally friendly thread coating. This dope-free alternative for Premium Connections simplifies your on-site installation. 

This offers clear advantages:

  • No thread compound - eliminates the risk of well contamination 
  • Ready to install - significantly reduced installation times by eliminating work steps
  • Clean make-up - increased safety on site and cleaner working conditions
  • Corrosion protection during transport and storage - improves make-up, even for multiple make-up

DryTec® therefore actively contributes to reducing environmental impact while increasing efficiency and process reliability.

    PexTec® - Maximum runtime, minimal interventions

    With PexTec®, voestalpine Tubulars offers an innovative pipe lining solution that demonstrates its strengths particularly in demanding applications.

    The technology is based on a polymer liner that protects the steel pipe and significantly extends its service life:

    • Elimination of tribocorrosion and a substantial reduction in wear
    • Extended runtime and reduced workover costs
    • Smooth inner surface for lower friction and more efficient pumping operations
    • Smart solution for deviated wells, protectin the tubing string in bended areas
    • Liner as thermal insulation 

    The result: fewer downtime events, lower energy consumption, and a more sustainable overall operation.


    Proprietary Grades for extreme requirements

    For particularly demanding operating conditions, voestalpine Tubulars developed tailor-made Proprietary Grades that combine maximum mechanical strength with specific material properties.

    • Reduced risk of leakage due to steels with a special chemical composition
    • Extremely high strength combined with reduced material usage and weight (e.g. through XP grades)
    • Maximum corrosion resistance and extended service life due to sweet gas series (e.g. 13Cr)

    As a result, Proprietary Grades make a key contribution to operational safety and the long-term sustainability of OCTG projects.
