Powering AatmaNirbhar Bharat of Tomorrow:
Jindal Hunting Energy Services Ltd. (JHESL) Unveils
State-of-the-Art Facility in India
~JHESL plant is the only facility in India to
manufacture and supply pipes & tubes with premium connections
to OCTG market in oil & gas sector in India
~ Annual threading capacity of the facility is
70,000 metric tons of OCTG
In line with Indian Government’s vision of AatmaNirbhar Bharat,
Jindal Hunting Energy Services Limited, a Joint Venture between
global giants Jindal SAW Ltd. & Hunting Energy Services Ltd.
proudly announces the grand opening of their facility collocated at
the seamless tube facility of Jindal SAW Ltd. at Nashik,
Maharashtra today.
The newly launched facility stands as the inaugural and
presently sole facility capable of producing and supplying pipes,
tubes, and premium connections to the OCTG market within the Indian
oil & gas sector. Thus far, all these products had to be
imported from other countries, putting a strain on the foreign
exchange situation in India. This facility not only supports Indian
Oil & Gas industry but also will have huge export potential
thereby earning valuable foreign exchange for the country.
Complementing the team on this stupendous achievement Mr.
P.R. Jindal, the Chairman of Jindal SAW Ltd. expressed his
happiness and satisfaction that with this initiative the group will
be able to participate in the AatmaNirbhar initiative of the
Government of India.
The facility is envisioned as a 'Center of Excellence’, a unique
establishment in this region, offering a comprehensive array of
products and services within the OCTG (Oil Country Tubular Goods)
sector of the Oil & Gas industry.
The facility's versatility extends to threading Hunting's
premium connections, ranging from 2-3/8” to 20”, and providing
Large O.D. Welded Connectors, spanning from 20” to 36”. This
comprehensive range encompasses various grades in iron & steel,
as well as alloy steel & exotic value-added grades.
Mr. Jim Johnson, CEO, Hunting PLC said, “This is a
fantastic milestone, firstly with our strategic partnership with
Jindal SAW Ltd back in August 2019 to the realization of the vision
developed over the past four years, great progress has been made.
Today, both Jindal SAW and Hunting make history, with the opening
of the JV’s full-fledged premium OCTG, accessories and
manufacturing operations, in support of the Government’s “Make in
India” initiative. Hunting will work alongside Jindal SAW to
provide the highest standards in quality and services in delivering
the best premium OCTG and accessories to our valued customers in
India and also abroad. We look forward to introducing more advanced
Connection Technology as we progress along. I want to thank and
congratulate our partner, Jindal SAW, for the shared vision and
commitment on this wonderful and exciting journey to excellence. I
am confident that this JV Manufacturing Hub will bring benefits to
local O&G industry, and also play a part in India’s Energy
Transition”.
The facility is set to achieve an annual threading capacity of
70,000 metric tons of OCTG. It will be fully supported by a
seamless supply chain, drawing raw materials and inputs from the
Jindal SAW facility in Nashik and other locations across the
country. This state-of-the-art facility boasts cutting-edge
equipment, on par with the best globally, featuring a high degree
of automation and sophisticated testing capabilities to guarantee
top-quality products that meet the rigorous demands of the oil
& gas sector.
Mr. Daniel Tan, MD, Hunting Asia Pacific Segment added,
“Both JSAW and Hunting have come a long way, starting from sharing
an idea in forging a Strategic Alliance and finally to a
fully-fledged JV Manufacturing Hub for premium OCTG and
accessories, built from greenfield. With a fully Integrated Supply
Chain, i.e the JV Manufacturing Hub built next to Jindal SAW
seamless pipe mill, and with easy access to Mumbai port, we provide
world-class premium OCTG not only to the rapid growing domestic
market in India, but also serve as an important Gateway to the
Middle East and Africa market. The JV Manufacturing Hub is truly a
One-Stop shop for premium OCTG and accessories for both domestic
and international valued customers”.
