Conclusions

Critical Issues
! Older Fields with Marginal Wells are being Shut in or Sold
Excessive Operating Costs
Chemical Treatment
Pipeline Repairs
Leaking Pipelines
Expensive Trenching Pipe Crossings
Oversized Pipes for Todays Production increases Maintenance
Bacterial Issues in Old Fields Increasing H2S
Cant Justify the Capital Cost for Replacement

Excessive Trenching Costs
Expensive Right of Way Rehabilitation
! Protecting Environmentally Sensitive Areas

Highly Corrosive Fluids
Actively Monitoring Pipelines for Leaks

Why Use Thermoflex Pipe in Environmentally Sensitive

Areas?
! Polymers Inert to the Oilfield . . . No Corrosion
! Tough Reinforcement . . . Aramid Fibers for Bullet Proof
Strength
! Abrasion Resistant Cover . . . Minimize Installation Issues
! Very little Environmental Impact
Narrow Right of Way
No Heavy Equimpment

Minimal Environmental Disturbance
What are Reinforced Thermoplastic Pipes Thermoflex

Pipe
! Fourth Generation Flexible Continuous Composite Piping
Corrosion Resistance and Minimal Maintenance
Liners Inert to the Oilfield & Temperatures to 100C
Eliminates Corrosion Pipeline Integrity Procedures
Low Permeation Eliminated Venting of Annulus
Minimizes Support Equipment for Installation

Extremely Flexible for Tight Work Spaces
Strength of Steel but Light Weight for Light Duty Equipment
Flexibility to Pass Through Risers with Light Duty Pulling Ropes
! Sizing to Minimize Ongoing Maintenance and Costs

Minimal Velocities to Carry Solids
Sized for the Application to Reduce Upfront Costs
Flexibility of Pressure Ratings for the Current Operating Conditions

What is Enhance Rehabilitation Technology (ERT)

! Utilize Existing Pipeline as a Conduit for Thermoflex Reinforced
Thermoplastic Piping (RTP)
! Basic Concept: Pig Cable Through Line and Pull RTP Through Existing Line
! Key Components of ERT
Flow Modeling to Minimize Pressure Drop Plus Carry Solids or Fluids

Pull Force Modeling to Determine Equipment Requirements
Design Project Scope
Install RTP with or without Monitoring

22
Cost Reductions for Existing Lines : Enhanced

Rehabilitation Technologies
! Rapid Low Cost Installation

! No Ongoing Maintenance
! Pull Through Older Fields with Many Pipe Crossings
Eliminates Trenching Costs
More Rapid Process
! Pulling Gas Lift through Existing Flow Lines
