Chevron Canada, Ltd. had just this type of application. Direct buried piping systems that traverse northern British Columbia, Alberta, and Saskatchewan to the refinery on Burrard Inlet run through environmentally sensitive woodlands. Gilsulate 500XR was selected by Chevron to insulate certain pipelines and protect them from corrosion. In the early 1980s, 48,000 CFUD of Gilsulate 500XR was installed on sections of their oil transport piping. In 2014, a section of the 1980s piping was exposed and Chevron was excited to discover that their pipes which had been protected in Gilsulate 500XR were in like new condition. Chevron required that the 30+-year-old section of original piping were to be reinsulated only with Gilsulate 500XR, it will continue to serve Chevron Canada, LTD. for many years to come.
Gilsulate® 500XR’s patented, engineered insulation and corrosion protection system has a proven unsurpassed longevity in the marketplace which can be traced directly to its demonstrated track record in the oil and gas markets.
