Abstract: A tubular system made up of a tubular, a liner in the tubular, and longitudinally oriented members, which may be disposed within channels in the liner. The members advantageously may be used for pulling a liner into a host tubular, and/or maintaining the structural strength of the liner. The members are continuous along the length of the plastic-lined tubular, and if applicable, through intermediary joints. The channels may be in the inner and/or outer surfaces of the liner. The members may be usable for carrying electrical current or signals, fiberoptic signals, or data communications; for heating the liner; and or for detecting faults in the liner and/or the host tubular.

Abstract: A lined tubular system and method provides for the manipulation and control of annular fluids in channels (18) between the tubular (10) and the liner (17). This structure allows for profiling of the exterior wall of a liner such that one or more continuous channels are provided along the length of the lined tubular system. The system may also include one or more non-crushable members or tubes between the liner's exterior surface and host tubular's interior surface. Rounded, granular particles or spacers in the annulus between the liner and host may provide an alternative path for fluid flow. The particles or spacers may be uniformly or randomly distributed in the annulus.

Abstract: This application discloses a liner pipe reduction system comprising at least one pressurized die and at least one pressure cell. The pressurized dies and pressure cell are interconnected to form a reduction system to reduce the friction of liner pipe as it passes through one or more dies.
