An oil pipeline is extremely important for the fuel industry and protection of our environment. These pipes distribute and move crude oil from one place to another and need to be safely inspected and updated when need be. While they are quite durable, if a pipe cracks or bursts, it can be a hazard to the people working or living nearby. So how can you tell when it’s time to replace your old oilfield pipes?
For starters, a lot of things can make a huge difference in maintaining your oil pipes. For example, having oilfield thread protectors can extend the life of your oilfield pipe and make it so proper flow of oil occurs. The protection keeps the pipes functioning for a long time. It’s hard to know exactly when a pipe protector or the pipe itself is going to break, but it’s easier to tell when a pipe protector has seen better days. Plus, it can be replaced more easily than an entire pipe! This small step protects you from high-priced replacement options and allows oil to flow more efficiently. We suggest have pipe protectors on hand to be ready when they need to be replaced.

At Nuliner Inc., we are leaders in quality pipe inspection and replacement piping, but we know that not everyone is an expert in oilfield pipes and equipment. It can be hard to know when you need to have your pipes inspected. Oilfield pipes move crude oil, and even minor problems can cause major issues and safety hazards. Take a look below at some indicators that you need an inspection.
- Leaking – If
your pipes are leaking, the issue could have been caused by any number of
factors. Our technology and equipment help us to quickly find the leak and the
root of the problem so that your system can be repaired.
- Physical damage
– Sometimes physical damage can cause your pipes to burst or leak. This type of
damage can typically happen because of a storm or after construction work has
been done.
- Pipes more than
30-40 years old – Older pipes can become rusted, weak and worn over time. If
your pipes are older than 30-40 years, it’s time for an inspection.
