Applications of Steel Pipes
Steel pipes in
the oil and gas industry are used for a variety of applications,
including long-distance transmission of crude oil and natural gas through
pipelines, and collecting raw materials from wells via
gathering systems. They are also used in refining and processing
facilities to move fluids at high temperatures and pressures, and
for structural support in plants and terminals.
Transmission and
distribution
·
Line Pipe: Used to transport crude oil,
refined products, and natural gas over long distances, often requiring high
strength to withstand pressure.
·
Gas Transmission: Seamless steel pipes are used for
long-distance, high-pressure natural gas transmission to distribution centers
and consumers.
·
Liquefied and Compressed Natural Gas (LNG/CNG): Steel pipes are essential for the
safe transport and storage of LNG and CNG.
Gathering and
production
·
Gathering Systems: Pipes are used to collect crude
oil or gas from multiple wells and deliver it to central processing facilities.
·
Casing and Tubing: Used in the drilling process to
line the wellbore, protecting it from collapse and contamination.
·
Production Tubing: Used to extract oil or gas from
the reservoir once drilled.
Refining and
processing
·
Facility Transport: Pipes move raw materials, fluids,
steam, and gases between different units within refineries and petrochemical
plants.
·
High-Temperature Applications: High-strength steel pipes are used
in processes like distillation and cracking, where they must endure extreme
temperatures and pressures.
·
Corrosion Resistance: Special grades of steel pipe are
used in refining to withstand the corrosive effects of chemicals involved in
the process.
Structural and
other uses
·
Structural Components: Steel pipes are used to build
support structures such as pipe racks, skids, and other infrastructure at well
sites and refineries.
·
Subsea Equipment: Corrosion-resistant and high-strength
steel alloys are used for offshore drilling and other subsea equipment.
