TMK and OAO LUKOIL have signed an R&D cooperation programme for 2014 - 2016, providing for the launch of import-substituting and new types of high-performance tubular products that would meet the current needs of the oil and gas sector.

The programme maps out three key areas for TMK-LUKOIL cooperation dzԹ casing, tubing and line pipe production. It also offers an action plan including testing, research, presentations, workshops and technical support. Under the agreement, LUKOIL will provide organisational support and consulting to identify major scientific and technical problems in the area of field-infrastructure development, while TMK will conduct surveys and implement pilot projects to solve the problems.

dzԹWe are interested in the development of the domestic tubular market and more reliable tubular products,dzԹ said Azat Shamsuarov, Senior Vice President for Oil and Gas Production of OAO LUKOIL. dzԹThis will cut the companydzԹs financial costs associated with the development of its own oil-complex infrastructure. We hope that LUKOILdzԹs practical experience and TMKdzԹs innovative potential will help achieve the goals set.dzԹ

dzԹThe agreement we signed will provide an additional impetus to our cooperation. TMK, with its technological capabilities and research potential, may meet the most stringent requirements of the oil industry. We believe that as a result of our cooperative activities LUKOILdzԹs enterprises will receive safe, high-technology products, with account taken of specific producing conditions at individual fields,dzԹ stated Aleksandr Shiryaev, General Director of TMK.

Alexander Shiryaev, TMK CEO, also commented on the partnership: "LUKOIL has always been one of TMK's most valued partners. Not only do we supply our pipe to this oil and gas major, but we have also accumulated extensive experience in joint launching and application of innovative tubular products. TMK's advanced technology and R&D capabilities are designed to meet the most demanding of oil and gas companiesdzԹ expectations. We rely on this collaborative effort to provide LUKOIL with premium state-of-the-art pipe tailored to specific oilfield needs, and to ensure that TMK will expand its innovative line of high-demand products."
