Hardbanding Solutions: Duraband NC Comes to Russia

Hardbanding Solutions are delighted to announce the world’s most trusted Hardbanding material, Duraband NC, is now stocked in Russia for immediate delivery to all of their applicators. This means that the growing list of companies licensed to apply Duraband NC can respond to a requirement for quality, casing friendly and 100% crack-free hardbanding within a few days, with no lengthy transportation or customs delays.

The organisation had been looking to have a presence in Russia for some time. Now they have found the solution that will keep the price of Duraband NC very competitive, and payable in rubles.

Colin Duff, Director of Hardbanding Solutions, commented “We are very excited about our new commitment to the Russian market. The use of Duraband has risen sharply recently, with customers buying new drill pipe with our product as well as having Duraband applied and reapplied to current pipe stocks in the field. This is made possible with the positive relationship we have with our licensed applicators in Russia, and we hope this new investment by us will help them to provide the industry with an even better service.”

Duraband NC is established as one of the most popular Hardbanding materials in the world. Recently, demand in the Russian drilling industry has increased greatly and Duraband has been used in every oil and gas region of the country by many operators, drilling contractors and drill pipe rental companies. As well as providing the material, Hardbanding Solutions provide customers with in-country technical assistance, at every stage, in order to acheive effective hardband management. This ensures that the use of hardbanding technology achieves its full potential, and as a result the owners of both drill pipe and casing make substantial medium to long term cost savings.
