This time, the Company supplied OCTG pipes for a geothermal project in Slovakia which has been actively investing in renewables as a part of its national energy transition strategy. The new system should supply almost 175,000 MWh of clean energy annually.
For the Slovak geothermal project, Interpipe delivered a significant volume of nearly 1,000 tons of threaded seamless casing with API Buttress connection. The batch included a range of diameters from 7" to 13 3/8". The pipes were manufactured in accordance with the API 5CT standard and designed to perform reliably in demanding geothermal conditions.
