Oil & Gas Gathering

WL Plastics offers a wide selection of durable High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) pipe to meet the need of any oil and gas application.

Engineered for Performance: HDPE PE4710 Pipe in Oil and Gas Gathering

In the demanding environments of oil and gas gathering, pipeline integrity and longevity are paramount. WL Plastics' high-density polyethylene (HDPE) PE4710 pipe offers a superior solution, combining leak-free joints, exceptional durability, and resistance to hydrocarbon permeation. This advanced piping system outperforms traditional materials, reducing maintenance needs and extending service life without the requirement for coatings or corrosion prevention treatments.

Polyethylene pipe has been a proven solution in oil & gas gathering applications for over 35 years. Polyethylene pipe is the most cost effective solution to move process water, frac water, and produced oil & gas mediums. WL Plastic’s PE4710 pipe solutions are the next evolution of HDPE piping systems with improved physical properties, pressure ratings, and durability.

At WL Plastics, our HDPE PE4710 pipe is manufactured on the newest, and most efficient production equipment in the industry and to strict quality standards in accordance with API specification 15LE, ASTM D2513, and ASTM F2619. As a leading high density polyethylene pipe manufacturer, WL Plastics has 800 million lbs of annual pipe production capacity spread across 8 facilities with large storage yards strategically located throughout the United States to ensure cost effective, on-time delivery for our customer’s large projects.

Benefits of HDPE pipe for Oil & Gas Applications

Corrosion and Chemical Resistance

HDPE PE4710 pipe is inherently resistant to corrosion and chemical attacks, including exposure to salts, alkalis, acids, and hydrocarbons. This makes it ideal for transporting process water, frac fluids, and produced hydrocarbons, ensuring long-term reliability even in aggressive environments.

Leak-Free Fusion Joints

Utilizing heat fusion techniques, HDPE pipes form monolithic joints that are as strong as the pipe itself. This eliminates potential leak points, enhancing system integrity and reducing environmental risks associated with leaks.

High Flow Efficiency

The smooth interior surface of HDPE PE4710 pipe minimizes friction, allowing for higher flow rates and reduced energy consumption during fluid transport. This efficiency translates to cost savings in pumping operations.

Temperature Tolerance

Designed to withstand continuous operating temperatures up to 140°F and intermittent exposures up to 180°F, HDPE PE4710 pipe maintains performance under varying thermal conditions common in oil and gas operations.

Lightweight and Flexible

Compared to metallic alternatives, HDPE pipe is lighter and more flexible, simplifying transportation and installation. Its adaptability reduces the need for fittings and accommodates ground movements without compromising structural integrity.
