Paper: Applications of Thin Wall Pipe In Oil Production

Since its introduction to the oil and gas industry approximately five years ago, the consumption of line pipe in thinner than standard wall thickness has grown to the extent that now its utilization in oil and gas lines has become commonplace. Within the last two years this thin-wall concept has grown to embrace oil well casing and tubing as well. This paper will attempt to list some of the current applications of thin-wall pipe as well as the sizes and wall thicknesses available.
