PRODUCT FIT FOR N7 ENERGY’S NEEDS

  • Flexpipe’s High Temperature linepipe was specifically designed to meet N7 Energy’s requirements. Materials used in the construction of the pipes were able to withstand the operating conditions of a maximum pressure of 300 psi and temperatures of 75°C.

COST-EFFECTIVE SOLUTIONS

  • Flexpipe composite pipe is a cost-effective and fast-to-install alternative to traditional pipeline options. The durability and longevity of the product reduce maintenance and replacement costs significantly, providing long-term savings.

CORROSION-RESISTANCE

  • An essential feature for N7 Energy, corrosion-resistant pipe from Flexpipe provides long-lasting performance and minimizes the risk of leaks or environmental damage, ensuring integrity and an enhanced operational lifetime throughout the pipeline system.

DEDICATED FLEXPIPE TEAM

  • Throughout the project, N7 Energy experienced exceptional support from the Flexpipe team. From beginning to end, the expertise of the team was highly valued, contributing to the positive overall experience.

In March 2023, a first time Flexpipe user was able to tie in production faster, with a smaller environmental footprint.

N7 Energy required a pipeline that would not only meet their specific needs and application, but that would also be cost effective and easy-to-install. After considering alternatives such as steel and fiberglass products, they turned to composite pipe and Flexpipe for the first time.
N7 Energy was looking for a durable, corrosion-resistant option that could handle their emulsion fluid efficiently and that could be seamlessly integrated into their overall pipeline system. By selecting Flexpipe, N7
Energy found an ideal solution that aligned with their requirements. As Russell Gonie, their Vice President of Operations stated, “The overall Flexpipe experience was great. The people from sales, and project coordinators to field technicians” making the overall project a successful collaboration.
