Success Story PEMEX Production Reliability Greatly Increases After Steel-Reinforced Pipe Installation in Burgos Basin The Challenge While conducting an enhanced oil recovery operation in Mexico’s Burgos basin, PEMEX discovered leaks in 40 carbon-steel lines that had recently been installed for the transmission of produced water. As a result, the wells the lines were serving had to cease production. To resolve the situation, the company urgently needed a cost-effective replacement pipeline that could endure highly corrosive produced water delivered at high pressures and volumes. Beyond a substantially longer service life, PEMEX also wanted a pipeline that could be installed in harsh terrain – and they would have to operate at a level of efficiency that would minimize revenue losses from the
