Bremen celebrates 10 years of support for oil and gas

Since completing its first production trials in 2004 and first industrial production in 2005, ArcelorMittal Bremen has increased deliveries of steels for oil and gas pipelines by an average of 10% a year. The mill has the capacity to produce 500,000 tonnes of oil and gas pipe steels annually.

To meet customer demands for high quality energy pipe steels ArcelorMittal Bremen has made further investments including:

• A new downcoiler for steels up to 24.5 mm thick
• Heavy cropshear capable of shearing transfer bars up to 76 mm thick, improving toughness on heavy walls, especially for heavy gauge steels
• Dedicated packaging line for high strength, heavy gauge coils
• Fully automated sampling station for energy pipe grades (to be commissioned in late 2014)
