BAKER HUGHES LAUNCHES NEW REINFORCED THERMOPLASTIC PIPE TECHNOLOGY

Baker Hughes announced the launch of its new PythonPipe™ portfolio, the latest in reinforced thermoplastic pipe (RTP) technology that enables faster installation, reduced time to first production and lower lifecycle emissions.

Offering up to 60% reduction in installation time and at one-fifth the cost of comparative steel installation, the PythonPipe portfolio consists of American Petroleum Institute 15s qualified, flexible and non-metallic RTP with an extensive selection of sizes, materials and liner options.

Achieving up to 75% reduction in carbon emissions throughout its lifecycle, up to 80% reduction in maintenance costs and up to 60% reduction in crew required, PythonPipe enables both efficient and sustainable operations.

Within the PythonPipe portfolio, Baker Hughes offers the only 8-inch spoolable, non-metallic RTP product in the market and demonstrates its three-layer co-extrusion liner technology across the entire portfolio range, allowing cost effective use of Polyphenylene Sulfide, Nylon, High Density Polythylene or High Density Polyethylene Raised Temperature liners within the RTP.

The PythonPipe portfolio will offer pressure capacities of up to 3000psi and temperature resilience of up to 180°F. The advanced co-extruded liner technology enhances durability and reduces permeability, making it suitable for challenging and corrosive environments.

The Python Pipe portfolio is now available.
