Oil & Gas Gathering
WL Plastics HDPE pipe is the ideal piping solution for oil & gas gathering applications due to its resistance to a wide variety of chemicals in gathering operations. HDPE pipe can handle a wide variety of fluids and gases common to oil and gas applications including the transport of crude oil, multi-phase fluids, process water, water slurries and brine (saltwater) solutions to and from fracking sites. WL Plastics HDPE Pipe complies with the American Petroleum Institute’s standard API 15-LE. Learn more about WL Plastics oil & gas gathering products here.

PE and HDPE pipe has been used in the oil and gas exploration industry for years. According to an article on Pipeline & Gas Journal, HDPE pipe is used in fracking for the collection and transportation of hydrocarbons, as well as the transportation and collection of water used in this process. Composite pipe consisting of layers of HDPE and metallic and non-metallic (glass and carbon fiber) substrates is being used for pressures from 300 psi up to 3,000 psi and in some of the most difficult terrains across the country. Plastic pipe is also valued for its flexibility; gas distribution systems are more apt to survive severe ground shifts, especially from earthquakes, when they are made from fused PE pipe.

pepe, you've given a very accurate description of the liabilities when using poly pipe, above ground, but you left of a very serious one, especially in The Plaines. Range fires.

It is used almost entirely in temporary conditions. I don't know how in the World those three pictures generated so much excitement.
