80% of Forouzan Oilfield Equipment, Services Supplied Domestically

The first shipment of casing pipes required for the development of Forouzan Oilfield is being transported to the field in the Persian Gulf, managing director of Petropars Group, which is in charge of the field, said.
Referring to casing pipes as one of the major equipment needed in drilling oil wells, Hamidreza Masoudi added, “The pipes have been manufactured by Iranian experts and engineers in a domestic company, passed technical tests and will be installed in the field in Bushehr Province soon.” 
Masoudi said more than 85% of the equipment and services used in the Forouzan Oilfield are provided by Iranian manufacturers and companies, ILNA reported.
Casing is a large diameter pipe assembled and inserted into a recently drilled section of a borehole. Similar to the bones of a spine protecting the spinal cord, casing is set inside the drilled borehole to protect and support the wellstream.
