Oil and Gas Pipelines
 United Pipeline Systems® has been protecting pipelines for the Oil and Gas industry since its inception in 1985. The properties of the high-density polyethylene (HDPE) Tite Liner® system provide excellent chemical, corrosion and erosion resistance for numerous oil and gas pipeline applications.
United has completed many successful HDPE pipeline installations in the oil and gas industry including the following:
- crude oil and oil emulsion
- multi-phase crude production/transit
- produced water
- water injection and disposal systems
- CO2 production and injection
- natural gas
- sour and wet gas
- acid gas
 In addition to the corrosion and erosion protection that Tite Liner® provides, the use of our HDPE lining system often eliminates the need for costly chemical injection of both corrosion inhibitors and drag reducers. The hydraulic properties of smooth HDPE pipe are much better than that of new and old steel pipe. Even with a slightly reduced internal diameter, this usually leads to lower operating and/or pumping costs or results in a lower pressure drop across a fixed distance of pipeline.
The Tite Liner® solution provides a corrosion barrier that often exceeds the design life of new pipelines. With the high value of produced oil and gas, it is critical that downtime is minimized. The Tite Liner® system can usually rehabilitate pipelines for a fraction of the cost and time associated with oil and gas pipeline replacement, and the bridging and hole-spanning properties of HDPE have enabled previous customers to return their aged pipelines to full operating pressure. Please review our case study below or contact us to learn more about how Tite Liner® can help your particular oil or gas pipeline application.
