Petroleum drilling and transport have stepped up worldwide due to increasing demand, particularly in emerging economies like China's and India's. From offshore pipeline to land-based drill strings, the demand for API 5L pipe and related pipe and tubing makes strategic worldwide distribution of these products indispensable to the global economy. At Corpac Steel Products, our reputation is built on meeting demand, keeping costs contained, and consistently meeting or exceeding customer expectations.
The Products
API 5L pipe isn't the whole story, and petroleum isn't the
only industry that needs uncompromising steel pipe and tubing products.
Locating the products themselves is only the first step. Buyers have to be
confident of product quality, and they have to be able to rely on their
suppliers to transport the products to the last mile, even if it means crossing
international borders multiple times on the way.
The Costs
Costs must be considered in context. A low price on a
product doesn't mean anything if the product arrives late and puts a project
behind schedule. Costs must be evaluated along with reputation, networks,
logistics, and experience to be meaningful to a particular project. That said,
there are suppliers who are able to keep a lid on costs through exemplary
efficiency and worldwide networks of manufacturing and inventory location.
The Logistics
Not all steel pipe and tubing suppliers have the logistics
expertise to cope flawlessly with the demands from an offshore pipeline project
or construction of a steel structure in a remote location. It's best if you
know the name of your supplier's logistics coordinator and have a point of
contact that you don't have to educate about your requirements. Logistics
expertise saves time, and time is money, particularly with major drilling or
infrastructure projects.
The Worldwide Network
Your project may be located in a remote part of the world,
so getting your steel pipe and tubing, or structural steel products delivered
in a timely manner often depends on your supplier having an extensive worldwide
network of mills and inventory. At Corpac Steel Products, we believe in
superior products, and the network required to get them to customers on time
while containing costs.
