API-5CT J55 Casing Pipe

The J55 API-5CT casing pipe is a comparatively low steel grade in oil drilling. It is widely applied for shallow oil and gas extraction.

Because of  its low cost among other grades of steel, it enjoys wider applications,  can be generally used in shallow wells, geothermal wells, and water wells.

API-5CT K55 Casing Pipe

API-5CT K55 oilfield casing pipe is very similar to J55, there is no significant difference in the chemical composition and yield strength, however the ultimate tensile strength of K55 is higher than J55 steel, K55/J55 are 655MPa and 517MPa respectively. K55 has a better thermal fatigue resistance property than J55.

In present sales, the selling price of theses two types is generally kept the same,  their application is very similar. In the oil drilling, K55 API 5CT casing or tubing is a relatively common type.

API-5CT N80 Casing Pipe

API-5CT N80 oilfield casing pipe contains N80-1and N80-Q types. Those two materials are absolutely consistent regarding the chemical composition and mechanical attributes, they are just various in the heat treatment.

During heat treatment, N80-1 steel is treated by normalizing and tempering, while N80Q steel is treated by quenching and tempering.

As its mechanical properties are higher than J55 and K55 types, it may very well be utilized to certain a little more challenging formations. With deeper downhole depth than J55 and K55 types, it can be applied for the exploitation of middle-level oil and gas.

Due to the high capability of N80 material, those API-5CT casing pipes are broadly applied in natural gas as well as coal bed methane extraction, and geothermal wells.

API-5CT L80 Casing Pipe

L80 belongs to steel grades group of corrosion-resistant casing. L80 API oilfield casing pipe  includes L80-1, L80-9Cr, and L80-13Cr. L80-1 is used in the H2S environment, while L80-9Cr and L80-13Cr are used in the CO2 environment. In the corrosive environment in which carbon dioxide predominates, Super 13Cr has a higher corrosion resistance than L80-13Cr.

With relatively high price, the product applies to more complicated geological conditions, and runs down deeper into the well. In the exploitation of oil and gas, the use of L80 is less frequent than J55, N80 and other materials.

API-5CT P110 Casing Pipe

The P110 API-5CT steel casing pipe is the high grade amongst other grades of steel.  White band is marked on the finished casing to point out the materials. During  petroleum drilling and producing, this pipe is generally used in a variety of complicated territory due to its higher tensile strength and higher yield.

It goes down the deepest into the well among other types. However, the price is comparatively high, as well as  the quantity of usage is comparatively few. P110 casing pipe is mainly used in a particular surroundings and when the drilling depth extends to a particular level.
