I. Project Background: An "Energy Giant" in the Arctic Circle

*Project Name: Russian Arctic LNG 2 Project: Utrenney Terminal

*Geographic Location: Gydan Peninsula, Siberia, Russia, on the eastern shore of the Gulf of Ob.

*Strategic Importance: This project is配套 (supporting) the world's largest gravity-based liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant, aiming to supply clean energy to the global market on a large scale.

*Extreme Challenges:

1. Cryogenic Brittleness: Arctic winter temperatures drop to below -50°C, making ordinary steel as brittle as glass.

2. Gravity Structure Support: The terminal wharf must support the massive LNG modules and the impact of icebreakers docking.

3. Permafrost and Ice Erosion: The steel must withstand the expansion and contraction forces of permafrost and the frictional erosion of the pile foundations by ice over long periods.

II. Shandong Runhai Steel's "Arctic-Level" Supply Solution

Addressing the unique environment of Arctic projects, Shandong Runhai Steel provides polar-specific steels conforming to international standards (such as GOST, ASTM, EN): Products supplied include ultra-high-strength steel sheet piles and cryogenic alloy seamless steel pipes (ASTM A333 Grade 6).

III. Technological Highlights and Meticulous Compliance

1. Overcoming "Cold Brittleness": Resilience at -60℃

2. Combating "Ice and Salt": Multiple Corrosion Protections and Mechanical Strength

3. Global Collaboration: Digital Guarantee for "Trans-Polar" Delivery

IV. Cooperation Value: Supporting Sino-Russian Energy Strategic Cooperation

1. Becoming a Top Supplier for Polar Engineering: Successfully serving the world-class challenging Arctic LNG 2 project demonstrates Shandong Runhai Steel's mature technology and supply capabilities in the field of cryogenic specialty steels.

2. Contributing to the Sustainability of Polar Development: High-strength, lightweight steel solutions effectively reduce the transportation load during polar construction, meeting the project owner's overall requirements for protecting the fragile Arctic ecosystem.

3. A Peak in Brand Reputation: Successful contract fulfillment under these extreme conditions has established the company's unshakeable technological authority in the global high-end energy (oil and gas, LNG) equipment market.

From the meticulous smelting in its Chinese factories to the frozen Ob Bay, spanning thousands of kilometers, Shandong Runhai Steel's products silently withstand the biting winds and solid ice at the Utrecht terminal. This is not only a contest of steel strength but also a testament to human engineering ingenuity. In the future, Shandong Runhai will continue to push the limits, safeguarding energy development in more "uncharted territories" around the world with its superior steel quality.
