Egypt is the largest non-OPEC oil producer in Africa and possesses the third-largest natural gas reserves on the continent. The Egyptian General Petroleum Corporation (EGPC) and its subsidiaries, alongside international operators including Eni, BP, Apache, and Shell, drive sustained steel pipe demand across Egypt's diverse hydrocarbon basins. The Mediterranean offshore — anchored by Eni's supergiant Zohr gas field (30 TCF estimated reserves) and the West Nile Delta (WND) and Atoll developments — continues to generate demand for large-diameter LSAW line pipe, API 5L seamless line pipe, and OCTG casing with corrosion-resistant alloys. The Western Desert remains Egypt's most active onshore drilling province, requiring steady OCTG casing and tubing supply, while the Gulf of Suez and Eastern Desert contribute additional upstream activity.
Beyond hydrocarbons, Egypt's rapidly growing population (exceeding 110 million) creates urgent demand for water infrastructure. The government's national water management strategy, including the New Delta agricultural reclamation project, wastewater treatment plants (including the world's largest Bahr El-Baqar treatment plant), and potable water transmission networks, generates substantial demand for SSAW spiral welded steel water pipe. The Suez Canal Economic Zone (SCZone), new administrative capital construction, and national road and bridge programs further contribute to structural and utility pipe demand. Sino East Steel serves the Egyptian market primarily through Alexandria Port (including El-Dekheila), with additional access through Damietta and Port Said, leveraging Suez Canal transit routes for competitive 25-35 day ocean freight from Tianjin.

Alexandria Port (including El-Dekheila) handles container and break-bulk efficiently. 25-35 day ocean transit via Suez Canal from Tianjin. We coordinate with Egyptian freight forwarders for customs clearance, port handling, and inland transport to Cairo, Western Desert, and Delta sites.
We specialize in supplying SSAW water pipe for Egypt's massive water and wastewater projects. Our understanding of Egyptian water authority specifications, EOS standards, and project financing mechanisms ensures smooth project execution from pre-qualification to final delivery.
Egypt is a price-sensitive market requiring competitive landed costs. Our manufacturer-direct model with optimized container loading and consolidated break-bulk shipments delivers cost advantages of 12-18% compared to trading company procurement.
We understand Egypt's Mediterranean offshore requirements: DNV-OS-F101 submarine pipeline standards, CWC for subsea stabilization, 3LPE for buried shore approaches, and the demanding logistics of supplying to offshore fabrication yards in Alexandria and Port Said.
We accommodate Egypt's varied payment mechanisms: T/T (advance + against documents), confirmed irrevocable L/C (with major international banks), and for recurring customers, open account terms with credit insurance. We also support Egyptian government tender payment structures.
Supplied API 5CT J55/K55 and N80 casing (7", 9-5/8", and 13-3/8" OD) with BTC connections for the Western Desert drilling campaign across the Khalda, Qarun, and Faghur Basin concessions. All casing was full-length UT inspected, drift tested, and hydrostatically tested per API 5CT. Third-party inspection by SGS Egypt. Delivered via container vessels to Alexandria Port (El-Dekheila terminal) with Egyptian Embassy-legalized documentation and inland trucking to Western Desert drilling locations.
Provided SSAW spiral welded steel pipe (36" to 60" OD) with internal cement mortar lining and external 3LPE coating for the Bahr El-Baqar wastewater treatment and drainage project — one of the world's largest wastewater treatment facilities. Pipes manufactured to AWWA C200 and Egyptian EOS standards with 100% UT and RT of weld seams. Delivered via break-bulk vessels to Alexandria Port with Egyptian government inspection and approval at each delivery milestone.
Yes. We supply API 5CT OCTG casing and tubing for Egyptian General Petroleum Corporation (EGPC) and international operators' drilling programs in the Western Desert, Gulf of Suez, and Mediterranean offshore. Grades include J55/K55 through P110 with BTC, LTC, and premium connections.
Yes. Alexandria Port (including El-Dekheila) is our primary delivery hub for Egypt. We also serve Damietta Port and Port Said for projects in the Nile Delta and Sinai regions. Ocean transit from Tianjin/Xingang to Egyptian ports is typically 25-35 days. We manage all Egyptian Customs documentation and inspection procedures.
Absolutely. Egypt has massive water infrastructure needs driven by population growth and the government's national water management plan. We supply SSAW spiral welded steel pipe (24" to 120" OD) with cement mortar lining and 3LPE coating for water transmission, irrigation, and sewage treatment projects, compliant with Egyptian standards and international specifications.
Yes. We provide API 5L PSL2 line pipe (seamless and LSAW) for Egypt's Mediterranean offshore gas developments including the Zohr, Atoll, and West Nile Delta fields. Our line pipe is suitable for subsea flowlines, risers, and onshore gas transmission with 3LPE and CWC coating options.
