New Delhi: Jindal Hunting Energy Services Ltd (JHESL) is looking to export oil country tubular goods from its plant located at Nashik in Maharashtra.
Piping products used in oil and gas production are referred as oil country tubular goods (OCTG). JHESL is a 51:49 per cent joint venture (JV) company between US-based Hunting Energy Services and domestic pipes maker Jindal SAW.
On September 18, the JV inaugurated a plant with an annual capacity of 70,000 metric tonnes, which has been set up at a cost of $25 million to manufacture and supply pipes and tubes with premium connections to OCTG market in oil and gas sector.
JHESL will first cater to the domestic market and continue to explore markets like Middle East and Africa, Neeraj Kumar, Group Chief Executive Officer and Whole-Time Director, Jindal SAW Ltd said.
When asked about the timeline for the exports, Kumar said there are certain approvals that need to be received for supplying OCTG. JHESL already has approvals for domestic clients, while the company has been engaged with concerned organisations in countries in the Middle East and Africa, he added.
