UAE Customer Case: Successful application of Monel K500 in the oil and gas industry

2025-06-05

The UAE customer, who has been working with us for more than two years, is a large oil and gas company specializing in oil drilling, gas extraction and refining processes. They needed a high-strength, corrosion-resistant material for key components of offshore drilling rigs, including valves, fasteners, and drilling equipment shafts, in order to increase equipment life and reduce maintenance costs.

Customer Background
The UAE customer, who has been working with us for more than two years, is a large oil and gas company specializing in oil drilling, gas extraction and refining processes. They needed a high-strength, corrosion-resistant material for key components of offshore drilling rigs, including valves, fasteners, and drilling equipment shafts, in order to increase equipment life and reduce maintenance costs.

Customer Needs
Seawater corrosion resistance: equipment is exposed to high salt environments for long periods of time, requiring a material with superior corrosion resistance.
Long life and low maintenance: Reduce downtime due to material damage.

The Solution
We recommended Monel K500 round bar and offered customized processing to ensure that it met the needs of the specific application.
Age-hardening treatment to improve strength and wear resistance.
Corrosion-resistant coatings on key components for improved durability.
Providing precision machined customized fasteners to ensure a perfect fit with existing equipment.

Delivery and service
Delivery: First batch of 500 kg round bars in three sizes with a lead time of 20 days.

Implementation and Results
Increased equipment life by 40%, reducing the frequency of replacement.
Improved corrosion resistance by 35%, especially in high salinity environments 25% reduction in maintenance costs and less downtime due to broken parts.
The customer has shown great appreciation for the Monel K500 material and plans to extend it to other projects, including oil well equipment and gas processing equipment.
