Hastelloy c276 Pipes is a majorly consumed product in the Oil and Gas Industry. All the obvious regions are already explored for oil extraction. Now the major oil and gas companies have started to penetrate in unknown and unsustainable regions with difficult conditions to explore for oil and gas.
Hastelloy c276 is although popular in the Hastelloy series, is not a commercially as popular is as stainless steel and carbon steel. The requirement is extremely slow. Our friend in Libya had a requirement of Hastelloy c276 pipes. He needed only 1.5 meter , 3-1/2” Schedule 120 – 14 meters. He tried to source it in USA, Turkey, Russia, China, India, Korea, Italy and all other major steel hubs.
At that time ours was the only company that had it. He was the plant manager of a project in Libya and at the time , the process that shut down , shut down the entire plant, as it was a slack that had no replacement or alternate. The production cycle had to go through that process. The manager sent us the purchase order with an empty column of amount, to be filled by us. The plant shutdown each day resulted in revenue losses of thousands of dollars. We supplied the entire material and it reached to him within a period of 3 days. Not to mention we made quite a lot in that order.
