The tubular steel product supply commenced in 1972, with Nippon Steel and Sumitomo Corporation shipping OCTG to Brunei Shell Petroleum. Later in 2006, it entered into a long term contract for OCTG supply. Since then, it has delivered more than 1.7 million tons of OCTG and line pipe tubular steel to Shell’s worldwide operations.

Nippon Steel, Sumitomo Corporation and Shell committed to further strengthen their relationship, by expanding the collaboration into energy transition, especially in areas such as hydrogen and CSS. The enhanced collaboration will play a key role in accelerating the journey to a carbon-neutral society.
