Pipe Supply for Oil and Gas Projects
Tubing
Applications
Tubing is essential in oil and gas production as it transports the extracted oil and gas from the well to the surface. It can handle high pressure and harsh conditions inside the well. Tubing prevents leaks, blowouts, and environmental risks, ensuring smooth oil and gas operations.
Material Specifications
Tubing is made from durable steel alloys to resist pressure and corrosion from oil, gas, and other fluids in the well. It must meet industry standards for strength and size to handle the pressures in oil extraction. Baker Tubulars offers a wide variety of tubing designed to meet these tough demands for safe and efficient performance.
Casing
Role in Well Integrity
Casing is required for oil and gas wells because it provides structural support to keep the well from collapsing. It lines the inside of the well to prevent rocks from caving in and keeps different geological layers separate. This helps protect freshwater sources from contamination. High-quality casing is essential to maintain the well’s stability over time.
Types and Grades
Casing comes in various types depending on the well’s depth and conditions. For example, surface casing stabilizes the upper part of the well, and production casing lines the well during production. Different grades are used based on the well’s depth and pressure. Baker Tubulars offers a range of casing types and grades to meet specific well requirements.
Drill Pipe
Importance in Drilling Operations
Drill pipe is vital in drilling because it connects the surface drill rig to the drill bit downhole and helps circulate fluids that cool the drill bit and clean the well. It faces extreme stresses like tension and torque, making durability key to preventing failures that could lead to expensive delays.
Features and Benefits
Drill pipe is designed to be strong, flexible, and long-lasting, with high tensile strength to handle heavy loads and coatings to resist corrosion. Baker Tubulars’ drill pipe improves drilling efficiency, reduces the risk of failure, and cuts maintenance costs.
Line Pipe
Use in Transportation
Line pipe is used to transport oil, gas, and fluids between production sites, processing plants, and storage facilities. It creates the pipeline network that moves resources over long distances. Line pipe needs to be strong enough to handle different pressures, temperatures, and environmental conditions.
Standards and Certifications
Line pipe must meet industry standards like those from the American Petroleum Institute (API) to ensure safety. These standards define the pipe’s materials, dimensions, and performance to prevent leaks or ruptures. Baker Tubulars provides line pipe that meets or exceeds these certifications for safe and reliable operation.
High-Density Poly Pipe (HDPE)
Advantages
HDPE pipe is flexible, lightweight, and resistant to corrosion and chemicals, making it a cost-effective option for oil and gas pipelines. It can handle temperature changes and ground shifts, making it ideal for areas with unstable soil or harsh weather. Compared to steel, HDPE is easier to install, with fewer joints needed.
Ideal Applications
HDPE pipe is best for low- to medium-pressure uses like water transport, gas distribution, and slurry lines. It’s also great for corrosive fluids due to its resistance to abrasion and chemicals. In oilfields, HDPE is used for lining steel pipelines or for temporary pipelines. Baker Tubulars supplies HDPE in all SDR grades to meet specific project needs.
Oil and Gas Industry Sectors We Supply Pipe To
The oil and gas industry is divided into three main sectors, upstream, midstream, and downstream. Each play a role in the extraction, transportation, processing, and distribution of oil and gas. In each of these sectors, Baker Tubulars supplies pipe products that meet the high standards of the industry.
Upstream Sector: Exploration and Production
The upstream sector focuses on locating and extracting crude oil and natural gas. This involves drilling rigs, well construction, and maintenance, which require robust and high-quality piping solutions. Baker Tubulars provides casing and tubing designed to handle extreme underground pressures and ensure the structural integrity of wells. Casing protects the wellbore walls, while tubing carries the extracted oil and gas to the surface. We offer casing and tubing in various sizes, grades, and connections, such as STC, LTC, and BTC, ensuring reliability in diverse drilling environments.
Midstream Sector: Transportation and Storage
In the midstream sector, the focus is on transporting oil and gas from production sites to refineries and storage facilities. Transmission pipelines are a critical component of this stage. Baker Tubulars supplies line pipe used to connect wells to processing plants and storage facilities, ensuring the efficient and safe transportation of crude oil, natural gas, and refined products. Our line pipe is available in sizes ranging from 2″ to 60″ and comply with API 5L standards, offering superior performance under high pressure and over long distances.
Downstream Sector: Refining and Distribution
The downstream sector is responsible for refining crude oil and processing natural gas into usable products such as gasoline and diesel. It also handles the distribution of these products to consumers. To support these operations, Baker Tubulars supplies structural pipe, ideal for the construction of refineries and distribution facilities.
Specialty Piping: HDPE Solutions
In addition to traditional steel oilfield pipe, Baker Tubulars offers High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) pipe, a lightweight and corrosion-resistant option suitable for low-pressure applications such as water transport and gas distribution. HDPE’s flexibility makes it ideal for use in areas with temperature variations or shifting soils.
By supplying high-quality piping solutions for the oil and gas industry’s upstream, midstream, and downstream sectors, Baker Tubulars ensures the safe, efficient, and reliable transport of energy resources. Our product range, including casing, tubing, line pipe, and HDPE, is designed to meet the stringent requirements of this industry.
