When extracting oil from wells it is often necessary to increase the well pressure by injecting water. This water, often obtained from adjacent aquifers, can be highly corrosive, containing carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulphide and bacteria.
An Algerian pipeline used for this purpose suffered repeated failures during the first 18 months of service. After replacement with Rilsan® Fine Powder coated pipes, the line is still intact after 5 years of intensive use.
