Sandvik has won a multi-million-pound contract to supply Weatherford Completion and Production Systems in Aberdeen with stainless steel pipe for expandable sand screen (ESS) completions.

The contact is for a five-year period during which Sandvik will maintain stocks at its Halesowen warehousing facility in the West Midlands, in order to supply pipe on a call-off basis to meet Weatherford's production schedules.

Commenting on the contract Sandvik's Andy Hitie, Product Manager- Oil and Gas, said: "We have worked extremely closely with Weatherford over the last couple of years to satisfy their requirements for product quality and material availability".

"Our capabilities as a manufacturer undoubtedly helped significantly to convince Weatherford of our ability to deliver supplies on a consistent basis, throughout the contract period".

Weatherford is the industry leader in providing expandable completion technologies which maximise reservoir productivity and reserves recovery.

The systems are manufactured at Weatherford's Aberdeen facility and sent to oil and gas field operators worldwide.

Gary Smart, General Manager for Weatherford's Expandable Completions Global Business Unit commented: "Sandvik's production and warehousing capabilities and product range have met our requirements enabling us to build a close supply partnership with the company".

"In addition, Sandvik's focus on materials technology and their technical expertise offers Weatherford access to new metallurgies for more challenging applications".

Pipe for the contract is being supplied in austenitic stainless steel grade AISI 316L in double random lengths and coupling material is supplied in super duplex grade Sandvik SAF2507.
