2-7/8 API Standard Tubing is a standard OCTG tubing product designed for oil and gas well production, completion and workover operations. Manufactured according to API 5CT requirements, it provides reliable pressure performance, dimensional consistency and connection compatibility for conventional onshore oilfields. Available in various steel grades and thread types, this tubing is widely used for crude oil, natural gas and water injection applications where stable downhole fluid transportation and long service life are required.
2-7/8 API Standard Tubing is a core OCTG (Oil Country Tubular Goods) product for medium and shallow oil and gas wells.
Manufactured in strict accordance with API international standards, this tubing adopts high-quality alloy steel seamless
forming process, with standardized outer diameter, wall thickness and thread connection dimensions.
It matches conventional downhole tools and wellbore structures perfectly, solving the problems of poor compatibility and
unstable connection of non-standard tubing. With stable mechanical properties and reliable sealing performance, it is
the preferred pipe material for conventional oil and gas field development projects.

Performance Characteristics
1.Stable Pressure and Mechanical Properties
The tubing design withstands internal pressure, axial loads, and downhole mechanical stresses during production
operations. Controlled heat treatment processes improve strength consistency and help maintain structural integrity
under long-term service conditions.
2.Reliable Threaded Connections
API-compliant thread sizes ensure proper connection with tubing accessories and completion equipment. Precise thread
machining and inspection reduce the risk of leaks due to improper connections.
3.Wide Compatibility with Downhole Equipment
Standardized 2 7/8 inch tubing sizes are compatible with commonly used oilfield completion systems, reducing
replacement difficulty and improving operational efficiency.
Quality Control Standard
All of our API standard tubing products implement full-process standardized quality control in accordance with API
specifications. Raw materials are strictly screened, and each batch of pipes undergoes mechanical performance test,
pressure resistance test, flaw detection inspection and thread precision detection.
Finished products are fully inspected one by one to ensure that size, performance and sealing indicators fully meet the
standard requirements, and only qualified products can be delivered to ensure stable and reliable on-site use.
Application Fields
The tubing is widely applicable to various conventional oil and gas engineering scenarios. It is mainly used for medium
and shallow oil and gas well production, downhole medium transportation, oil and gas well completion and reconstruction
operations.
It also adapts to conventional water injection engineering, wellbore protection and auxiliary downhole operations in
oilfields. Relying on API standard specifications, it can match various supporting downhole equipment and meet the
pipeline laying demands of different oilfield working conditions.
Selection Guidelines
When selecting 2 7/8 inch API tubing, buyers should consider the following factors:
1. Well Depth
Deeper wells require higher strength tubing grades, such as N80, L80, or P110.
2. Corrosive Environment
For CO₂, H₂S, or corrosive environments, appropriate steel grades and corrosion protection measures should be
selected.
3. Connection Requirements
EUE connections are typically used in applications requiring higher sealing performance, while NUE connections are
suitable for general applications.
4. Production Conditions
The tubing selection should be matched to the fluid type, pressure, temperature, and production rate.
