How are mechanical components affecting the future of oil and gas extraction?


The Oil & Gas sector is a technologically advanced industry that requires specialized products to ensure the efficiency and safety of mining and production activities. This sector represents one of the main excellences of the Italian engineering industry, with an important economic and production significance for our country.

7-1

The Oil & Gas sector encompasses all companies that produce equipment and physical assets for use in the construction of wells and/or infrastructure for the extraction, production, and distribution of oil and gas around the world. Companies operating in this sector have a strong international presence and, in particular, it is estimated that 90% of their business volume has foreign markets as its destination. This shows the importance of exports for Italian industry.

In the implementation of mining and oil and gas production, there are many mechanical products that need to be created so that these processes can take place efficiently and safely. This is where companies specializing in the production of mechanical components find their place. At Foma, we specialize in making components to design for oil and gas operations. Foma 2, our Omegna location, is dedicated to this type of machining, and we produce stems, pins, valve bodies, flanges, premitters, and closures with the utmost care and attention.

The machining of these components requires special attention, from the choice of raw materials to the execution of the work. At Foma we use the most suitable raw materials that meet the specifications and certifications required by our customers. Carrying and welding operations are in case of need taken over directly by us with the help of recognized and certified partners.

 

 

Our large and varied machine fleet and highly skilled staff are capable of machining the most tenacious materials such as titanium, F51, F53, Inconel 625, and 718, duplex, and others. Thanks to our experience and advanced equipment, we are able to make large mechanical components up to 600 mm in diameter and 2 meters in length.

The Oil & Gas department today can rely on 6 Doosan lathes, 3 Doosan machining centers and an Amada cutting machine:

  • PUMA DOOSAN 480LM LATHE
  • LATHE PUMA DOOSAN 2600 LYB
