N'GENIUS for the Oil, Gas & LNG Industry

Fast-moving. Always evolving.

The rapidly evolving oil and gas industry is always on the lookout for the next generation of advanced materials that can reduce weight, fabrication times and overall project costs.

The N'GENIUS Series™ of High Strength Austenitic Stainless Steels extends service life and improves though-life costs and sustainability by improving the resistance to corrosion in raw aggressive fluids containing high levels of Chlorides, CO₂ and H₂S, even for projects in shallow water, deep water and ultra-deep water with service conditions containing High-Pressure and High-Temperature (HPHT).

Topside Piping Systems

The oil and gas industry remains one of the largest users of stainless steels that are used extensively on topside piping systems for floating vessels including FPSO’s, FSO’s, FPS’s, FSU’s, FSRU’s, FLNG’S and platforms including Tension Leg Platforms (TLP’s), SPAR platforms, Semi-Submersible Platforms, Mobile Offshore Drilling Units, and Jack-Up drilling vessels.

Alloy Types and Variants from the N'GENIUS Series™ are suitable for use in the following applications:

• Piping package systems (pipes, fittings and flanges) for the process and utilities, sea water cooling, fire water and deluge, filtration, desalination, fixed structural splash zone risers, steel catenary risers, column pipes and modules.

Engineering Equipment for Topside and Subsea Applications

The oil and gas industry uses significant amounts of stainless steel for engineering equipment products for both Onshore and Offshore (topside and subsea) projects, and Alloy Types and Variants from the N'GENIUS Series™ are suitable for use in the following applications:

• Pumps, valves, filters, fasteners, manifolds, well heads, blow out preventors, pressure vessels, storage tanks, heat exchangers, and ancillary equipment

Pipelines and Flowlines

The oil and gas industry uses large quantities of stainless steel seamless linepipe and longitudinally welded linepipe for Onshore and Offshore subsea pipelines and flowlines which are required to be installed using all methods of installation.

Alloy Types and Variants from the N'GENIUS Series™ are suitable for use in the following applications:

• Inter-field and In-field pipelines and flowlines, HPHT pipelines and flowlines, Seawater injection and Formation water injection pipelines as well as induction bends and ancillary products.

An extensive range of Alloy Types and Variants have been developed for CRA seamless and welded line pipe that will fundamentally change the materials selection philosophy for projects throughout the world.

The N'GENIUS CRA Line Pipe Series™ grades will address the need for a much wider selection of CRA line pipe materials that are suitable in a wide range of service conditions and process media environments. They are ideal for all types of onshore projects and offshore projects in shallow, deep and ultra-deep water that can be installed using the various installation methods including S-lay, J-lay, Reel-lay and sub-sea Bundle installation techniques.

The N'GENIUS CRA Line Pipe Series™ has been created to out-perform existing grades that are currently available for selection in the API 5LC specification for CRA line pipe and the DNV ST-F101 Offshore standard for sub-marine pipelines.
