KIEV, Aug. 1 - Ukrainian pipe group Interpipe (Dnipropetrovsk) plans to organize production of pipes with ultra-premium thread connections meeting CAL IV standards for use in the most demanding oil and gas production projects.

The pipe will be delivered to Shell for use in its projects in Ukraine.

The information is contained in a press release from the Industrial Policy Ministry based on its query to Interpipe concerning media reports that said Shell would not use Ukrainian-made pipe because none meets quality requirements.
