In the past decade, fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) has emerged as a significant linepipe material and the production industry is beginning to harness the technology and know-how for its successful use. FRP can be the answer to the need for low cost corrosion resistant linepipe materials due to the increasing corrosivity of produced fluids from existing fields, and newly developed aggressive reservoirs. Opportunities for FRP linepipe are described.
