Major Independent Achieves 12.5% Cost Savings using Coiled Line Pipe
Project Overview
A major independent U.S. E&P Company needed a fuel gas line completed quickly and within a very tight budget. The pipeline had multiple crossings and the Right of Way included two sweeping 90 degree turns, presenting unique challenges relative to material selection. Coiled Line Pipe was selected as the solution that provided the greatest cost benefit and the highest quality and compliance match to the application needs.
Project Highlights
? Global Tubing provided 3,700 ft of Coiled Line Pipe from stock to quickly deliver the quantity requested by the customer.
? The Coiled Line Pipe installation, from unloading to ditch, was 4 times faster than stick steel pipe.
? The entire pipeline length required only 5 welds (including the riser connections), which were faster and more cost efficient than composite connections and did not require special staff or equipment.
? Pipe crossings were completed by pushing the pipe under, while deploying into the ditch. There were no pipe cuts and no damage to the pipeline’s protective coating or the pipeline itself.
? After complete deployment of the Coiled Line Pipe, an electrical holiday detection test was completed on the entire pipeline length and it registered ZERO COATING DAMAGE.
? The pipeline material documentation consisted of six MTRs, compared to nearly one hundred for stick pipe, thus proving confidence in the uniformity of the material and full traceability.
? By using Global Tubing’s Coiled Line Pipe, the customer decreased HSEQ risk and exposure in the field by reducing man-hours worked nearly 65% and equipment hours by almost 61%.
Conclusion
Global Tubing’s Coiled Line Pipe supplied a no hassle solution for the field needs of the client. Cost savings of 12.5% over the steel pipe installation were delivered upon project completion. By using Coiled Line Pipe, every client can enjoy the peace of mind that only steel pipe’s long history and specification compliance can provide combined with the cost savings of a spool-able pipeline.

9 年Great write up. This would also be a very cost effective solution for many of those old lines in the GoM that need to be replaced due to corrosion or a blockage. I bet the risk managers with most of the operators would like the fact that there are far fewer welds compared to standard stick pipe.

9 年Thank you for this information , I have question , is this pipe could be used for oil and water injection system , if yes what is the max temperature, pressure this pipe could carry . Also what is the size ? Length of weel ? Type of conection between two pipe etc
