Titan Tubulars Company Profile

Overview



http://titantubulars.com/company_profile.html

Conductor Casing is used in deepwater, offshore, swamp and land locations in
Nigeria. Oil and gas operators generally drive 20” to 36” conductor casings as
the first string of pipe to provide structural support for the remainder of the
drilling process. Several operators also run connectors on a supplemental
string of 20” or 18 5/8” tie back casing inside the conductor pipe.

These casings have been fabricated abroad for all 50 years of Nigeria’s oil
production history. This has provided offshore employment and profit
opportunities for European and American companies. National aspirations for
increasing employment and local content in the upstream oil industry have
reinvigorated plans to move value added services, such as conductor pipe
fabrication, to the Onne free zone area.

Titan Tubulars Nigeria Limited is an incorporated joint venture formed under the
laws of Nigeria. The principal partners are Enercon Nigeria Limited and KMC
Oiltools Bermuda, operating in Nigeria as Wasco. The company is now
establishing a manufacturing facility at the FLT Terminal in the Onne Free Zone
of Nigeria to machine Conductor Casing connectors from raw forgings, weld
these connectors to Base Pipe and offer related OCTG services.
Facility

A free zone facility covering 16870 m2 is under development at the FLT terminal
in Onne. The facility will have the capability to machine connectors from forged
steel, weld the finished connectors to base pipe and store the tubulars until
ready for use.
Primary inputs for the conductor casing fabrication process are base pipes
imported from Korea / Germany and steel forgings from Japan. Value added
processing of these materials into finished conductor pipe will take place in
Nigeria.

Titan Tubulars maximizes internal retention of expenditures and creates high
quality employment opportunities by transferring all of the value added
processes involved in fabricating conductor pipes to Nigeria.

Experience

Enercon is a well established and reputable OCTG vendor in Nigeria. They are
well connected with the Japanese trading company Metal One.

KMC Oiltools Bermuda (operating in Nigeria as Wasco Oil Service Company
Nigeria Limited) is well known as Nigeria’s premier OCTG machine shop with
extensive machining and welding experience under the auspices of both API
and ISO 9001: 2000 quality programs.

Wasco’s sister company located in Singapore has machined over 15,000 sets of
the Cooper Cameron JV connector and welded these connectors to base pipe
for clients in the Far and Middle East. Hence Conductor Casing fabrication is a
well known business to the Wasco foreign parent company with definitive
procedures and established QA/QC processes.

As a test, a set of 30” x 1” JV connectors were machined in Nigeria during
January 2006 to prove up the feasibility of undertaking this work locally in
Nigeria with our machinist group.
Production Capacity

Initial setup at the Titan Tubulars yard at Onne includes two new Webster and
Bennett 48R CNC Vertical Boring Mills and four welding lines.
Commissioning Schedule

Titan Tubulars will be open for business July 2007. Check this site for regular
