Barossa — Urgent LSAW Pipe Supply | STS Case Study

Sector: Upstream Oil & Gas
Scope: Urgent LSAW pipe supply for spreader bar fabrication
Location: Australia
Status: Completed 

When incoming LSAW pipe was rejected at the fabrication yard on the Barossa gas field development, the EPC contractor faced an immediate schedule crisis. With fabrication windows tied to a fixed offshore installation programme, there was no time for a conventional procurement cycle.

STS was brought in to find a solution — fast.

Working quickly through our international mill network, STS sourced heavy plate and free-issued it directly to a qualified rolling mill  bypassing standard pipe mill lead times and compressing delivery to meet the project schedule.

We managed the entire process: plate procurement, mill coordination, third-party inspection, documentation and delivery. One point of contact. No gaps in the chain.

• Urgent supply mobilisation
• Free-issue plate to rolling mill
• LSAW pipe procurement
• Third-party inspection and documentation management
• Single point of accountability under schedule pressure
• Tranportation of the plate to the rolling mill and the finished pipe to the client. Several cross boarder transport and customs
