Performance Pipe Introduces New High-Temperature HDPE Pipe for Challenging Environments
Performance Pipe has introduced a new line of high-temperature pipes to meet the needs of the oil and gas industry
Oil and gas operations create difficult challenges that pipeline operators must overcome. Shale production can create water temperatures in the 160 to 180°F range, significantly higher than the limits of standard polyethylene (PE) pipe. While metal pipes using chillers can withstand the temperatures, the corrosive effects of the environment can lead to leaks and failures. Performance Pipe, a division of Chevron Phillips Chemical located in Plano, Texas, has introduced a new line of pipes to meet these challenges. The PlatinumStripe® 1800 Series PE-RT Piping is a solid wall high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe and provides the temperature resistance, flexibility, and corrosion resistance oil and gas operations need to increase safety and decrease environmental impact. The pipe has a TR-4 listing from the Plastics Pipe Institute and can safely operate continuously at up to 180°F.
As an example of how the PlatinumStripe piping solves problems, take a look at EVX Midstream Partners. They are using the product to transport the produced wastewater to saltwater disposal (SWD) sites. The new pipe has allowed EVX to see a lower risk of wastewater spills and elimination of costs associated with using trucks to haul the wastewater and the costs for chillers.
