A local company has designed, manufactured and shipped its first deep sea oil pipe production equipment to China.

Bartell Machinery Systems of Rome is behind the "Carcass Machine."

The equipment stands over 30 feet tall and is designed to produce the inner steel liner in ultra-deep sea flexible oil pipe.

Company officials say the pipe will be deployed in ocean depths of more than 7,000 feet, making the Bartell unit one of the most advanced machinery systems of its kind in the world.
