Logstor Group takes on
chief operating officer
As of 1 December 2011, Ole Arenfeldt
Jensen joined Logstor as the group’s
chief operating officer. He was also
appointed head of Logstor’s European
district energy division. In addition, Mr
Jensen takes over responsibility as
managing director of Logstor A/S in
Denmark from Preben Tolstrup, who
will continue as chairman of the Danish
company.
From his position
during the past
nine
years
as
managing director
of Nordisk Wavin
A/S, a manufacturer
of plastic pipes,
Mr Jensen brings
extensive experience
as a supplier of
infrastructure products to the European
market. “Given the many common
features between Logstor and Wavin I
will have a unique opportunity to put my
experience to immediate use and in close
cooperation with Logstor’s organisation
continue the efforts to further strengthen
Logstor’s position on the important
European market,” he commented.
“I am very pleased to welcome Ole
Arenfeldt and look forward to thisaddition
of competences to Logstor,” said Preben
Tolstrup, CEO of the Logstor Group. “It
will mean a valuable strengthening of
our European organisation and at the
same time provide an injection of new
resources permitting us to further boost
our global expansion which is right now
progressing at a high pace.”
Early in 2011, comprehensive
organisational changes were carried
through with the aim of simplifying the
structure of Logstor’s business areas for
district heating, district cooling, industry,
marine and oil & gas, to better match
global demands and development. Four
independent regional district energy
divisions have been established to
cover Europe, Asia, the Middle East and
Africa, as well as the rest of the world,
with particular focus on growth markets.
Logstor’s global oil & gas activities
are managed in a single independent
business division operating worldwide.
More than 50 years ago Logstor
invented the pre-insulated pipe system
technology and is now a leader when it
comes to these pipe systems for energy-
efficient transportation of liquids and
gases for district heating and cooling,
marine and industrial purposes as well
as oil and gas. To date, the company
has delivered more than 170,000km of
pre-insulated pipes.
Headquartered in Løgstør, Denmark, the
company has subsidiaries in Austria,
China, Finland, France, Germany,
Italy, Lithuania, the Netherlands,
Poland, Romania, Russia, Sweden and
Switzerland. A network of 30 agents and
Logstor’s 14 sales offices support the
group’s sales activities.

Pipe for offshore pipeline
TMK, amanufacturer andsupplier of steel
pipes for the oil and gas industry, has
shipped seamless line pipe to Gazprom
to develop the offshore pipeline at the
Kirinskoye gas condensate field on the
Sakhalin Island shelf.
The technical specifications of seamless
line pipe for the Kirinskoye field were
developed jointly with Gazprom’s R&D
division in accordance with the Russian
gas monopoly requirements, which are
stricter than international standards for
offshore pipelines, including the DNV-
OS-F101 standard.
Beginning in 2014, the Kirinskoye field
will become a source of gas for the
Sakhalin-Khabarovsk-Vladivostok gas
transmission system. The field’s natural
gas reserves are 75.4bn m
3
, and its
gas condensate reserves are 8.6mn
tonnes. “TMK made this delivery as
part of its offshore programme, which
we are actively developing as a strategy
to expand TMK’s premium business
segment,” said Alexander Shiryaev,
TMK CEO. “The technical specifications
for this pipe, agreed with Gazprom,
significantly exceed the requirements
specified by international standards for
offshore pipelines.”
