Benefits of Line Pipe

Line pipe is used for oil and gas conveyance applications. Manufactured from carbon steel, it transports crude oil, natural gas, production fluids, and water from one point or process to the next. This line pipe type is produced following ASTM A572 and API 5L requirements, unless otherwise specified, in welded or seamless conditions.

Line pipe is used for oil and gas conveyance applications. Manufactured from carbon steel, it transports crude oil, natural gas, production fluids, and water from one point or process to the next.This steel pipe type is durable to withstand high pressures, corrosive fluids, and extreme temperatures. Other advantages include:

• Strong
• Cracking Force Resistance
• Inexpensive
• Long Service Life
• Suitable For Sour Service

Uses of Line Pipe

The primary purpose of line pipe is the transportation of liquids, gases, and semisolids. Most often, it’s used to construct pipelines. Types of pipelines include:

Gathering Lines

Line pipe that transports crude oil or natural gas from the production site, also called a well pad or wellhead, to a central collection point

Production Lines

Line pipes located near the wellhead used to prepare and produce the crude oil or natural gas for transportation

Transmission Lines

Systems of large diameter line pipes that transport crude oil or natural gas long distances at high pressures

Distribution Line

The network of mains and line pipe used to move natural gas at relatively low pressures to homes and businesses

Line pipe from JD Fields is suitable for use in a wide array of applications. Examples include:

• Offshore Drilling
• Structural Applications
• Water Well And Downhole
• Water Treatment

Hazardous Environments, High Integrity Pipe

Hydrogen sulfide, which is also called sulfuric acid or H2S, is present in some oilfield applications. It can corrode certain materials and pose a threat to health, safety, and the environment. When hydrogen sulfide levels exceed specific thresholds, the application is designated as sour service.

JD Fields can supply line pipe processed to excel in sour service conditions. The pipe is constructed of purity fully killed steel, providing resistance to hydrogen-induced cracking, or HIC, and sulfide stress cracking, or SSC.

With our sour service line pipe, effective operation in high sulfuric acid environments is achievable. Our experts have extensive knowledge of sour service conditions and how to overcome them. They can help find the best line pipe for your needs.

Powering The World

The crude oil and natural gas extracted from subsurface formations on land and offshore are essential for modern society. They make it possible to generate power, travel by vehicle, create fabrics for high-performance clothing, and develop electronic devices that people worldwide use every day.

JD Fields is proud to be a trusted line pipe distributor for the oil and gas industry. Contact us to learn more about our line pipe products and value-added services!
