tubing excellence
With over 70 years of engineering expertise in supplying high precision tubes, Superior Tube
and Fine Tubes work closely with customers worldwide developing high-specification
tubing solutions to help them solve their technical challenges. We manufacture high
performance tubes in an ever-expanding range of stainless steel, nickel, titanium and
zirconium alloys for supercritical Oil & Gas applications.
1970 Technological advances for subsea developments in the 1970’s.
2013Fine Tubes supply NORSOK approved corrosion-resistant 6Mo alloy tubes bound for use in the BP Schiehallion field, North Sea.
1988 Fine Tubes manufacture data logging tubes for the downhole oil and gas markets.
2013Fine Tubes awarded 9COM approval with Saudi Aramco to supply stainless steel, nickel alloy and titanium tube products.
2003 Fine Tubes manufacture super-pressure instrumentation tubing operating at up to 60,000 psi (4,100 bar).
2015 Fine Tubes contributes to the Advanced Well equipment Standardization Group (AWES), setting industry standards for the manufacture of tubing encased conductor (TEC).
2015 Superior Tube supply heat exchanger tubing for a new FPSO vessel operating in the Santos Basin Field Development, Brazil.

tubing solutions
oil & gasThe Oil & Gas sector represents one of Superior Tube’s and Fine Tubes principal markets for the supply of a wide range of tubular product forms and materials. Our products have been successfully applied in some of the most aggressive subsea and downhole conditions and we have a long proven track record of supplying products that meet the strict quality requirements of the oil and gas sector.
Fine Tubes and Superior Tube offer coiled and straight length tubing in a wide range of corrosion resistant stainless steels, nickel and titanium alloys. We have extensive experience in product supply and innovation in this sector, from the technological advances required for subsea developments in the 1970s to the deepwater challenges of today.
downhole hydraulic control & injection lines Superior Tube and Fine Tubes supply bare line or encapsulated coiled tubing for downhole hydraulic and chemical injection lines in a range of corrosion-resistant stainless steel and nickel alloys.
downhole data logging for intelligent well completionsWelded & cold-drawn coiled tubing for the mechanical protection of Tubing Encased Conductor (TEC) and Tubing Encased Fibre (TEF) cables, control lines and sensing cables.
subsea & umbilicalsFine Tubes and Superior Tube supply high-quality umbilical control line and chemical injection tubing. Our seam-welded and redrawn products provide a lower-cost alternative to traditional seamless subsea umbilicals, while delivering equal performance.
topside control & instrumentationOur expertise in processing special grade stainless steel and nickel alloys make us the ideal partners for the supply of instrumentation packages used in the topside construction of Offshore FPSO, FPSS’s, Spars and TLP’s.
pressure housingFine Tubes supply casing for down hole drilling sensors for directional drilling tools Measurements While Drilling (MWD) and Logging While Drilling (LWD).
subsea control & instrumentationAt sea, our corrosion-resistant tubes are deployed up to a depth of 6,561 ft in critical control units for hydraulic pumps, subsea Christmas trees and manifolds. Operating conditions can require our products to be rated up to 60,000 psi (4,100 bar) operating pressure.
