3. WHAT IS COILED LINE PIPE
2017 DUG PERMIAN
• Developed during WWII – “Project P.L.U.T.O.”
• Subsequently the development split into a few distinct technologies:
– Flexible Steel Reinforced Pipe (API 17J)
– Coiled Line Pipe (API 5LCP)
– Steel Pipe (ASTM GRADE B/ API 5L) jointed and coiled
4. EVOLUTION NOT REVOLUTION
2017 DUG PERMIAN
• Coiled Line Pipe is an evolutionary development in our industry as it
utilizes the use of the trusted steel pipe grades and combines it with
the fast spoolable deployment.
• Coiled Line Pipe allows for safer, faster and cheaper project
completion by cutting the pipeline installation time.
1) … 65% less man hours.
2) … 61% less equipment hours.
3) … reduced risks related to safety and quality.
4) … smaller Right of Way and minimal environmental impact.

10. SUMMARY
2017 DUG PERMIAN
• 97% less connections in a
mile of pipeline
• 3 Layer FBE/CP/PP (PE)
coatings represent the most
advanced and versatile
coating systems available.
• Time tested industry
standards
Coiled Tubing Pipeline Other Pipeline Products
• Steel Pipe requires a weld, coat &
X-ray every 40’
• Composites require expensive
and unproven connections
• FBE weathers poorly
• FBE/ARO is costly and hard to
bend during HDDs
• New and un-developed standards
• Trusted standards, but no growth
Global Tubing provided 3,700 ft of Coiled Line Pipe from stock to quickly deliver the quantity requested by OXY.
• The Coiled Line Pipe installation, from unloading to ditch, was 4 times faster than stick steel pipe.
• The entire pipeline length required only 5 welds (including the riser connections), which were faster and more cost efficient than composite connections and did not require special staff or equipment.
• Pipe crossings were completed by pushing the pipe under, while deploying into the ditch. There were no pipe cuts and no damage to the pipeline’s protective coating or the pipeline itself.
Global Tubing answered the needs of the customer by supplying 11,600 ft of Coiled Line Pipe from stock to deliver the entire quantity requested in eight (8) spools only.
• The pipe was delivered to site, the Coiled Line Pipe installation from unloading to ditch was 3 times faster than stick steel pipe.
• The entire pipeline length required 14 welds (including the riser connections, pipeline crossings and road bores).
• Eight (8) pipeline and road crossings were completed successfully, by pushing and/or pulling the required pipe length in place, while deploying into the ditch and electrostatically testing the coating for damage at the same time.
