Fasken Oil and Ranch has been using Western Falcon Polylined tubing for over 9 years in production and injections wells. This paper will address updated and additional case studies since the original paper presented in 2005 titled "Cost Effective Option Using Poly Lined Tubing". The combination of lower priced energy prices with tubular goods prices on the rise, many operators are looking at ways to reduce tubular replacement and workover costs due to corrosion and rod on tubing wear failures. Further case studies demonstrate the cost savings in tubular corrosion and a dramatically reduced failure rate in beam pumped wells. The liners have been particularly effective in solving tubular performance problems in highly deviated and doglegged wells. Poly liners have been installed in over wells 11,000 wells amounting to over 20 million feet of lined tubulars. Reducing production and injection costs is much more important today than it was in 2005, when the original paper was presented.
