Pexgol’s Solution in Secondary Recovery for EMESA

The Challenge

EMESA, an energy company in the province of Mendoza (Argentina) that participates in some hydrocarbon projects in the province in collaboration with private operators, faced the need to establish a new line for secondary recovery. The project involved transporting formation water from a well with mechanical pumping (AIB) to a tank, operating at a temperature of 40°C, a flow rate of 100 m³/h, and a pressure of 30 kg/cm².

The Solution

To meet the operational requirements of the project, EMESA decided to implement 90 mm class 15, 90 mm class 24, and 110 mm class 30 Pexgol pipes, covering a total length of 700 meters. Pexgol pipes were selected due to their quick installation, material flexibility, lightness, and ease of handling, as well as their ability to supply long sections that simplify the installation process.

The installation of the Pexgol pipes was efficiently carried out in a single day by unrolling the pipes and using double mechanical connectors and flanged couplings. This process was not only fast but also notable for the minimal time required for the installation of mechanical fittings. Pexgol’s ability to handle high pressures and temperatures,
along with its corrosion resistance, ensured reliable and long-lasting operation.

EMESA’s positive experience with Pexgol underscores the importance of choosing high-quality and resistant materials for critical applications in the energy sector
