API 5CT N-80 Tubing Shipment to Venezuela

Octal Steel completed the shipment of API 5CT N-80 seamless production tubing to Venezuela, supplying 3-1/2″ OD tubing with EUE connection, 9.3 lb/ft weight and R2 length range for oilfield production applications. The delivered tubing was manufactured according to API 5CT requirements, with Grade N-80 carbon steel material selected for production environments requiring reliable mechanical performance and connection integrity.

This shipment was arranged for delivery to Cabello Port, Venezuela, with the product configuration confirmed according to the required tubing grade, size, connection type and dimensional specifications.

Shipment Details

Product Application

API 5CT N-80 tubing is used as a production string component installed inside oil and gas wells to transport produced fluids from the reservoir to surface facilities. The tubing specification requires coordinated control of material grade, pipe body strength and connection performance because the string must withstand internal pressure, axial loading and repeated operational conditions during well production.

For this shipment, the N-80 grade tubing with EUE connection was selected to provide a suitable balance between mechanical strength and field connection reliability. The external upset connection design increases the connection wall thickness at the threaded end, helping maintain structural integrity during make-up and operation.

Manufacturing and Quality Control

The production of seamless OCTG tubing requires strict control throughout the manufacturing process, including:

• Steel grade verification according to API 5CT requirements;
• Seamless pipe manufacturing control to maintain consistent pipe body properties;
• Dimensional inspection of outside diameter, wall thickness and length;
• Thread inspection for EUE connection compatibility;
• Product identification and traceability before shipment.

For OCTG products, quality documentation and traceability are essential for confirming material grade, manufacturing records and inspection status throughout the delivery process.

Packing and Delivery

Before shipment, the tubing was checked for product identification, bundle consistency and EUE thread protection to reduce the risk of damage during handling and ocean transportation. Shipment markings and related documents were also verified to maintain traceability during receiving and project handover.

The API 5CT N-80 seamless tubing, specified as 3-1/2″ OD, 9.3 lb/ft, EUE connection and R2 length, was then dispatched to Cabello Port, Venezuela for oilfield production use.
