Oil & Gas Industry

In the oil, gas, wind, and solar energy industries, steel pipes, profiles, and bars play a critical role in various applications. KINKELDER has broad experience with these specific cutting applications in tube mill production for Oil, Gas and Solar. But also with applications like threaded bolds for wind mills (both offshore and onshore).    

Drilling and Exploration

Steel pipes are used extensively in drilling operations for extracting oil and natural gas from underground reservoirs. These pipes, often referred to as drill pipes or casing pipes, are subjected to high pressure, corrosive environments, and extreme temperatures. Cutting them to specific lengths is crucial for assembling drill strings and casing strings to reach target depths and maintain well integrity. These specific products are often referred to as API pipes, which stands for American Petroleum Institute or OCTG, Oil Country Tubular Goods. We have a long track record in efficiently cutting API tubes and pipes.  

Pipeline Transportation

Steel pipes are the primary choice for transporting oil and gas over long distances through pipelines. These pipelines require pipes of varying lengths, depending on factors such as terrain, elevation changes, and right-of-way constraints. Cutting steel pipes to precise lengths ensures seamless assembly and alignment during pipeline construction offshore or onshore. 

Wind Energy Industry

Wind energy harnesses the power of moving air to generate electricity. It's renewable, clean, and increasingly cost-effective, playing a significant role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and diversifying energy sources. The use of high-quality steel parts such as gears, bearings, and anchor bolts in wind turbines ensures durability, reliability, and optimal performance. KINKELDER saw blades are tailored for these applications and we serve many customers in this field.  

Solar Energy

Solar energy utilizes sunlight to generate electricity or heat water, and contributes to a greener future. Steel profiles used to support solar panels are typically designed to withstand the weight of the panels and environmental factors. They also come in specific shapes and sizes like hexagonal profiles, which need specifically designed blades and expertise to cut efficiently. Our applications engineers have an excellent track record in providing local support at tube mills and stationary cutting applications for these specific products.
