CRC-Evans alliance with China Petroleum
Pipeline Bureau
CRC-Evans Pipeline International has
announced an alliance with pipeline
contractor China Petroleum Pipeline
Bureau (CPP).
The agreement marks a long-term
partnership between the two companies.
With over 30 years of cooperation,
CRC-Evans has rented dozens of
automatic welding machine spreads
and sold ten full spreads of dual torch
welding equipment to CPP.
Using
this
equipment,
CPP
constructed over 50 per cent of the
pipeline contracted by CNPC, one
of the world’s largest oil and gas
companies, within the last year alone.
The new strategic partnership between
CPP and CRC-Evans positions CRC-
Evans as a trustworthy supplier of
pipeline construction equipment in
China.
“It is an honour for CRC-Evans to
partner with CPP, one of the biggest and
most capable contractors, in the global
construction marketplace,” said Mikhail
Blekherov, president of CRC-Evans
Onshore East. “Many contractors in
China follow CPP’s example regarding
construction equipment management,
strategically positioning CRC-Evans
in equipment business in China and
around the globe.”
CRC-Evans is also the major automatic
welding machine supplier for the recent
world’s largest X80 pipelines, both
stretching over 4,000km long, from
central Asia to the eastern and southern
coasts of China. Two further pipeline
projects of similar scale are being
implemented in the following year or two.
As a major manufacturer of equipment
and a supplier of services to the onshore
and subsea pipeline industry, CRC-
Evans provides pipeline construction
equipment, automatic welding systems,
managed subsea services, field joint
coating, weighting systems and non-
destructive testing. Other engineered
equipment includes laybarge equipment,
conveying systems and concrete weight
coating plants.
The
company
has
corporate
headquarters in Houston, Texas, USA,
and offices and facilities in the United
States, Canada, the UK, Europe, the
Middle East, South Africa, Malaysia and
Brazil.
