OCTG (Oil Country Tubular Goods): Ensuring Well Integrity from Surface to Pay Zone

Trust Imex Canada to supply the critical casing and tubing that forms the structural and production foundation of your oil and gas wells, backed by seamless global logistics and expert Canadian customs compliance.

What is OCTG and Why it's Crucial

Oil Country Tubular Goods (OCTG) are the lifeblood of oil and gas drilling and production operations. These specialized steel pipes – primarily Casing and Tubing – are engineered to perform under the extreme conditions found deep underground. They are indispensable for:

• Structural Support: Preventing the wellbore from collapsing.
• Formation Isolation: Separating different geological zones to prevent cross-flow and protect aquifers.
• Hydrocarbon Production: Providing the conduit for oil and gas to flow safely to the surface.
• Pressure Containment: Withstanding immense internal and external pressures throughout the well's lifecycle.

The integrity and performance of your OCTG are non-negotiable for safe, efficient, and environmentally responsible operations.

Your Source for Reliable OCTG

As a key offering within our portfolio of Oilfield Accessories, Imex Canada provides access to a comprehensive range of high-quality OCTG. We source casing and tubing from reputable global manufacturers who adhere to the most stringent industry standards. Our focus is on delivering tubular goods that meet your exact specifications and operational requirements, ensuring the reliability needed for your critical applications.

Our OCTG Offering: Casing & Tubing

Imex Canada specializes in the two primary categories of OCTG:

Casing:
Used to line the wellbore and provide structural integrity. Casing strings are cemented in place and run in progressively smaller diameters as the well deepens (Conductor, Surface, Intermediate, Production Casing). They are crucial for protecting the wellbore from formation pressures and preventing collapse.

Tubing:
Inserted inside the production casing, tubing is the pipe that transports produced hydrocarbons from the reservoir to the surface. It must withstand internal production pressures and potentially corrosive well fluids. In injection wells, tubing is used to deliver fluids downhole.

We also supply other related tubulars essential for well operations, including Drill Pipe, and Line Pipe.

Quality & Technical Excellence (API 5CT)

Quality is paramount for OCTG. Imex Canada ensures that the tubular goods we supply meet or exceed the demanding specifications of API Spec 5CT, the global standard for casing and tubing. This includes:

• Certified Steel Grades: Access to a full range of API grades (J55, K55, N80, P110, etc.) and specialized sour service or high-strength grades, suitable for varying well depths, pressures, and corrosive environments.
• Precision Manufacturing: Sourcing seamless and welded pipes manufactured to precise dimensions (OD, wall thickness) for optimal performance.
• Reliable Connections: Providing tubulars with standard API connections (BTC, STC, LTC) or high-performance Premium Connections for critical applications requiring superior seal integrity and torque resistance.
• Rigorous Testing: Ensuring pipes undergo comprehensive testing, including hydrostatic, drift, electromagnetic, and ultrasonic inspection, alongside mechanical property testing.
