The rise in imports and exports of crude oil and other oil and gas product in recent years has significantly increased the demand for onshore and offshore steel pipes. These pipes are the lifeline for transporting oil and gas for miles. Yet, the environments surrounding oil and gas pipelines pose intricate challenges, particularly with the corrosion of pipes.

PT INDAL STEEL PIPE (ISP) is a pioneer in manufacturing, supplying, and servicing high-quality carbon steel pipes with diverse industrial anti-corrosion coating and insulation systems. ISP’s products have met the rigorous demands of the oil and gas industry in providing superior substrate protection for all production areas—from offshore platforms to midstream pipeline solutions in Indonesia.

“We were the first to supply high-quality steel pipes with anti-corrosion coating systems. Nobody could do that in the country at that time,” says Siens Harianto, director of PT INDAL STEEL PIPE.

ISP’s expertise covers anti-corrosion solutions like insulation, concrete weight coating, 3-layer polyethylene coating, 3-layer epoxy coating, fusion-bonded epoxy coating, asphalt enamel, and neoprene coating, and anode installation systems, all tailored for the specific demands of oil and gas pipeline services.

Operating as a privately owned entity under the Maspion Group, a leading Asian conglomerate that spans multiple industries, ISP has widened its client portfolio with unmatched quality and impeccable punctuality in delivering final products.

A major part of ISP’s work includes national-scale projects for the government and national interests. Among its standout achievements are collaborations with leading oil and gas companies, including ExxonMobil, PETRONAS, Total E&P Indonesie, Chevron Corp., MEDCOENERGI, PGN – Perusahaan Gas Negara and PERTAMINA (State Owned Oil and Gas Company).

In response to client demands, ISP manufactured high-quality products that were once imported. This proactive approach allows it to consistently surpass the rigorous projects standards delivering unparalleled quality, a benchmark ISP’s products unfailingly exceed. Adhering to international standards like ASTM, API, DNV, and NACE across all its products and services gives it a competitive edge in the industry.

ISP’s certifications API 5L-1040 and API 5L-1056, ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 37001, ISO 45001 and its ISO 17025 certified laboratory from KAN - are testaments to its effective implementation of quality management systems. One notable accomplishment is its pivotal role in ExxonMobil’s Indonesian project in 2013, where it supplied line pipe, anti-corrosion coating, and insulation systems previously unavailable in the country. This project, now running successfully for a decade, covers an impressive 105 kilometers.

Two of the monumental projects that hold their place in ISP’s extensive portfolio include the ExxonMobil Cepu Limited Banyu- Urip project and PETRONAS Bukit Tua BTP2B project, which provided comprehensive solutions from pipe making to anti-corrosion and concrete coating, cementing its position as an industry leader.

Besides offering the best quality products, its commitment to addressing customer concerns and jointly finding solutions has been significant in nurturing strong relationships and ensuring client satisfaction.

ISP employs a solution-oriented task force and strictly adheres to industry-specific international practices, enforcing meticulous control measures like product ID traceability and comprehensive record-keeping.

Expanding its innovative endeavors, ISP has ventured into developing sophisticated testing equipment certified by DNV. Unique facilities like fullscale bending tests, simulated service tests, and overall heat transfer coefficient tests (OHTC), are part of the equipment, distinguishing the company among very few in the world with such capabilities.

Adapting to stringent requirements and ensuring on-time delivery without compromising quality, ISP embraces every client challenge, domestic or offshore operation. Its track record of early project completion, competitive pricing, and in-house execution underscores its operational efficiency.

The sprawling plant facilities of ISP within the industrial estate, with a dedicated loading and unloading port for partnering groups, are located in a convenient five-kilometer range from the coating plant, further emphasizing its capacity to handle multiple projects seamlessly.

PT INDAL STEEL PIPE’s one-stop anti-corrosion coating approach, tailored precisely to meet the demanding needs of each project, makes it the go-to company, setting benchmarks in the industry with every project.
