This paper will explore the various applications and challenges of non-metallic piping for hydrocarbon service and how it helps reduce corrosion costs. According to the NACE study, the total annual cost of corrosion in the oil and gas industry is estimated to be $1.372 billion. It is remarkable how much money can be saved by implementing non-metallic piping solutions. Not only does it reduce corrosion costs, but it also helps improve safety and efficiency in the oil and gas industry. By reducing the need for frequent maintenance, non-metallic piping provides a cost-effective and reliable solution for hydrocarbon service.

This paper highlights two successful case studies for High-Density Poly Ethylene (HDPE) in the oil and gas industry and further elaborates on the challenges. Additionally, the lesson learned from another case for the fire water network is highlighted along with a rout case analysis of the failures.
