Al Gharbia started commercial production in 2019 and has since then delivered several hundred kilometer of large diameter line pipe to ADNOC, most of it for critical sour service. Since then AGPC has received several approvals from energy companies in the Gulf Region and beyond opening the door for further expansion. The company is currently investing in additional testing equipment to measure �hard spots� on steel plate to ensure maximum resistance to H2S in carbon steel pipe. A program to test suitability of AGPC pipe for hydrogen service is ongoing.
