Production pipes protect the walls of oil wells from damage caused by fluids. Different sizes and types of tubing are available, and it’s important to choose the correct one for the fluid being pumped. Testing is necessary, but kicking can cause serious consequences such as injury or death.
Production pipes are pipes that are used in a well, usually an oil well, to protect the walls of the well from damage. Although there are many sizes of production pipes, according to the needs of the user, there is a range of common sizes. There are also many different types of tubing, based on what the user is pumping and the consistency of the fluid, and a user should choose the tubing for the correct fluid. One problem with using this tube is that it can kick during testing, which can have serious consequences.
When oil or any other fluid is stored in or extracted from a well, production pipes are normally used so that the fluid itself does not contact the walls of the well. The fluid is capable of causing massive deterioration and other problems if it touches the walls, and it is usually more difficult and more expensive to repair the walls than it is to simply replace the pipes. The hose is also optimized for use with a particular fluid, so assuming the correct type of hose is used the chances of deterioration tend to decrease.
There are many different sizes of production tubes available, based on what users commonly need, and multiple tubes can be used at the same time. This tube usually has a circumference of 2 to 4 inches (5 to 10 centimeters), although larger and smaller sizes can also be purchased. The tube usually has expandable materials that allow the tube to become slightly larger during use.
Oil, water, and other fluids commonly pumped through production lines come in different consistencies and thicknesses based on the other materials included in the fluid. To accommodate these differences, many types of tubing are available and it is usually best for the user to select tubing based on the fluid he or she is working with. For example, using thick tubing intended for a heavy fluid may be too stiff for a thinner fluid.
While in use, production tubes normally need to be tested periodically to make sure they are still working well. If the hose is plugged and kicks – or moves violently and suddenly – due to the pressure released, this can cause a big problem. Kicking can cause damage to the well and can send a jet of pressurized fluid out of the pipe. This can lead to injury or death if people are nearby.
