  • Publication number: 20220107038
    Abstract: Techniques for implementing a pipe segment that includes a tubing inner barrier layer that defines a pipe bore through the pipe segment, a venting tubing annulus implemented around the tubing inner barrier layer, in which the venting tubing annulus includes a first solid material implemented to define a venting fluid conduit, a tubing intermediate barrier layer implemented around the venting tubing annulus, a reinforcement tubing annulus implemented around the tubing intermediate barrier layer, and a tubing outer barrier layer implemented around the reinforcement tubing annulus. The reinforcement tubing annulus includes a second solid material that is different from the first solid material and is implemented to define a reinforcement fluid conduit. Additionally, the venting fluid conduit facilitates venting fluid that permeates from the pipe bore through the tubing inner barrier layer out from the pipe segment before the fluid contacts the second solid material in the reinforcement tubing annulus.

  • Patent number: 11199287
    Abstract: Techniques for implementing and/or operating a pipeline system that includes a pipe segment and a pipe repair assembly. The pipe segment includes tubing having an inner barrier layer that defines a pipe bore through the pipe segment, an intermediate layer including solid strip wraps implemented around the inner barrier layer such that gaps are defined between adjacent solid strip wraps, and an outer barrier layer implemented around the intermediate layer. The pipe repair assembly includes an auxiliary patch secured at least across a break in a solid strip wrap in the intermediate layer of the pipe segment that is exposed by a hole in the outer barrier layer of the pipe segment; and outer material disposed over the auxiliary patch via an injection machine to fill the hole in the outer barrier layer of the pipe segment.
