Spanish group Tubacex to build OCTG-CRA plant in Abu Dhabi

UAE - Khalifa Economic Zones Abu Dhabi (Kezad), the integrated economic and industrial hub of Abu Dhabi, has signed a land lease agreement with Spain’s Tubacex Group for the development of a 50,000 sq m manufacturing unit for OCTG-CRA tubular solutions within its facility.

A first of its kind plant in the Middle East, it is expected to be operational towards end of 2024.

OCTG (Oil Country Tubular Goods) is tube and pipe which is used in the production of oil and gas, both onshore and offshore, while the corrosion-resistant alloys are metals engineered to resist degradation by oxidation or other chemical reactions.

The CRA cladded steel pipe is composed of a conventional carbon steel or low alloy steel pipe and a corrosion-resistant alloy layer.

A global leader in the design, manufacturing and installation of advanced industrial products and high-value-added services for the energy and mobility sectors, Tubacex already has a major presence in the UAE with its production facility in Dubai.

The Spanish group brings value to its customers through its global presence, with production plants and service centres in Spain, Austria, Italy, US, India, Thailand, Saudi Arabia, Norway, Canada, Singapore, Guyana and Kazakhstan.

This new facility will enable Tubacex to establish a strong presence
