    U.S. Steel to Restart Lone Star Tubulars Mill

    Written by Tim Triplett


    U.S. Steel Corp. plans to restart the No. 1 Electric-Weld Pipe Mill at its Lone Star Tubular Operations—a mill that had been “permanently” idled in 2016 due to the challenging conditions for tubular products created by fluctuating oil prices, reduced rig counts and high levels of imports.

    “We are encouraged by an improvement in market conditions and an increased customer demand for tubular products that are mined, melted and made in America,” said U.S. Steel President and CEO David B. Burritt.
