Long Pipes has had discussions with onshore and offshore oil and gas companies around the world.

In the gas sector, the coal seam and shale gas markets are large, particularly in North America where the Fluid Highway™ can add significant value by competing with existing pipe materials. The Fluid Highway™ has the advantage that it will be able to operate in very low temperatures and is not subject to brittle fracture. In Australia, the coal seam gas market presents an attractive growth market for the Fluid Highway™.

The Fluid Highway™ will be suitable for oil pipelines in a range of diameters and pressures. The Company is currently developing pipes up to 450 mm diameter in a range of operating pressures, with plans to extend the range to 1000 mm diameter.
