(Shanghai, March 13, 2024) Shanghai Hilong Drill Pipe Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Hilong Group, was one of eleven Shanghai-based enterprises to be included in the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology’s eighth batch of national manufacturing single champion enterprises, which was announced recently. This represents yet another national-level honor the company has earned.
Since its establishment in 2006, Shanghai Hilong Drill Pipe has focused on the design, manufacturing, and service of Drill Pipe series products for oil and gas exploration and development. Over that time, it has continuously provided high-end drilling rod products and technical services to large national oil companies such as CNPC, Sinopec, CNOOC, Saudi Aramco, and Abu Dhabi National Oil Company. The company’s work is guided by technological innovation, and Shanghai Hilong Drill Pipe has collaborated with the Shanghai Hilong Tubular Goods Research Institute to independently develop what is referred to as the "Three High" series of high-end drilling equipment products, which is characterized as featuring high strength, high torsional resistance, and high sulfur resistance. The Three High series is an umbrella that includes more than thirty “sub-series” such as the HL120S/125S series high-steel-grade sulfur-resistant drill rods, HLIST series ultra-high torsion-resistant drill rods, HLV150/U165 series high-strength drill rods, and HLAS low-temperature drill rods. Many of the company’s technologies are highly advanced both in terms of domestic and international standards. Notably, the HL125S high-steel-grade sulfur-resistant drill rod has broken through the technical barriers of harsh environment oil and gas drilling and production techniques. In recent years, Hilong has joined in on China’s national initiative calling for the joint construction of the "Belt and Road." The company subsequently has developed an international development strategy, obtained recognition in high-end markets such as the UAE and Saudi Aramco, achieved milestone breakthroughs, and gained a market share of over 20% in the international market for high-end Drill Pipe products.
Its selection as a single-item champion enterprise represents the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology’s high recognition of Hilong's technological level, independent innovation ability, and market competitiveness in the drilling equipment field by governments and customers at all levels. Hilong Group stated that it will continue to deepen its presence in the energy field by holding to a spirit of craftsmanship. The company will increase investment in independent innovation, focus on high-end drilling equipment products needed for deep-sea, deep-earth, and unconventional oil and gas resource development, empower its operations through digitization, leverage differentiated competitive advantages, maximize value creation for global customers, and continuously support the high-quality development of enterprises and industries with cutting-edge, diversified technologies, and products.
Evaluating single champion enterprises in the manufacturing industry serves as an important element of China’s national strategy to accelerate the cultivation and development of high-quality manufacturing enterprises. These champion enterprises play a leading role in the construction of a manufacturing powerhouse and are hailed as the crown jewels of the manufacturing industry. The selection criteria for single champion enterprises are extremely strict, requiring enterprises to focus on specific segments of the manufacturing industry for a long time. They must have internationally leading production technology or processes, and their market shares of single-item products must rank among the top three globally.
