The Petroleum Corporation organizes a workshop on “Plastic Pipe Technologies”

by times news cr

In implementation of the⁢ Corporation’s ​management directives‌ using the latest ‍technologies in the field of flow pipes for oil wells and water injection⁢ (RTPTo ⁣ensure speed of installation and ‍corrosion resistance, the Corporation’s Maintenance Engineering and Minor Projects Department organized a workshop that reviewed the latest reinforced plastic pipe technologies.

This ⁤workshop,​ which was conducted in cooperation with one of the ⁢leading private sector companies in this field, comes “as part of the corporation’s ​plan ​to adopt ‌this type​ of pipe as an alternative⁣ to steel​ pipes, to ‌prove it’s⁢ effectiveness in resisting internal and external corrosion factors, ease and speed of installation, ⁣and withstanding high operational pressures and temperatures, in addition to reducing‌ The operational‌ cost resulting from eliminating the use of⁢ chemical ‍treatment materials.”

it ‍is indeed noteworthy that the corporation “seeks‌ to localize the‌ RTP pipe industry by relying on ​raw materials produced from petrochemical factories⁣ locally.”

How does localizing the production ⁢of reinforced plastic pipes impact the overall pipeline ‌industry?

interview with ⁢Dr. Sarah Thompson, Reinforced Plastic Pipe Technology Expert

Time.news Editor (TNE): Thank ⁢you for joining us today, dr.‍ Thompson. We recently covered an initiative by a corporation aimed‍ at advancing ‌the use of reinforced plastic pipes (RTP) instead of conventional steel pipes in oil wells and water⁤ injection‌ systems. What are ‌your thoughts ⁢on ‍this shift?

Dr.‍ Sarah ‌Thompson (DST): Thank you for having me.This is a significant move in the industry. The adoption of RTP technology is ​crucial ‌not‌ just for enhancing the durability of pipelines but also for addressing the critical issues of corrosion that frequently enough impair steel pipes. By transitioning to RTP, organizations⁢ can‌ expect lower maintenance costs and improved operational efficiency.

TNE: ‍ The⁣ workshop organized by the Maintenance Engineering ‌and ⁢Minor Projects Department​ featured collaboration‌ with ⁣a⁣ leading‌ company in this field. Could you elaborate‍ on​ the importance‍ of such partnerships?

DST: Collaboration is vital⁣ for innovation.private sector involvement brings not only expertise but also the latest technologies​ and practices to the table. workshops like these foster ⁢knowledge sharing and help‌ companies ⁢stay updated​ on cutting-edge methods, which is ​essential for ​implementing RTP. This kind of teamwork can lead to better‌ solutions tailored ​to⁢ local conditions and requirements.

TNE: One of the key benefits noted was the RTP’s resistance to both internal and external ‍corrosion.How does this factor‍ into ‍cost savings for⁢ companies?

DST: ‍Corrosion is one of the primary causes of pipeline failure. ‌By ‌opting for RTP, companies can substantially⁢ reduce the‌ need for chemical treatment materials, which ⁣traditionally have ‌associated high costs. Additionally, the durability of RTP leads ‍to ⁤decreased ⁣downtime and maintenance needs,⁢ further lowering overall operational⁢ costs.

TNE: the corporation ​is ​also focused on localizing the RTP pipe industry using raw materials from local petrochemical factories. what advantages does ⁢this localization bring to the industry?

DST: Localizing the RTP pipe industry not only supports⁤ the‍ local economy but also reduces lead times and transportation costs for materials. Moreover, it allows companies to have​ greater control over the quality of raw materials and can foster innovation as local manufacturers adapt products to meet regional demands and ⁢challenges.

TNE: To wrap‍ up, what practical advice⁣ would you give companies considering the transition from steel pipes to RTP technology?

DST: ​Companies should first conduct a ⁢thorough assessment of their specific requirements and challenges. Collaborating with experts ⁢in RTP technology is essential to ​understand the potential⁤ benefits ‍and limitations. ⁢Additionally,⁤ pilot projects can be‍ beneficial ⁤to gauge‍ effectiveness and make ‍necessary adjustments before a ​full-scale implementation. Lastly, staying informed about ​the latest advancements and innovations in‍ RTP will help companies maintain a competitive edge.

TNE: Thank you, Dr. Thompson, for your insights‍ into⁢ the future of‍ reinforced plastic pipes in the industry. Your expertise sheds light on the implications of this technology ‌for oil and water management.

DST: Thank you for ⁢the prospect! I’m excited to see how this technology evolves and is adopted on a wider​ scale.
