A 30-year history of the use of fiberglass piping (FRP) systems for oil production piping is presented. Speculation about future uses of FRP in the oilfields is discussed. Problems encountered during the introduction of this type of pipe to the oilfields, and the evolution of early oilfield FRP systems is described. Improvements in FRP during the period of recent oilfield growth are reported. A representative list of significant uses of FRP in oilfield applications today is presented.
