Oil & Gas HDPE
Traditional energy meets future-focused design
HDPE for Oil & Gas
Working in the oil and gas industry means facing demanding conditions, from corrosive materials to shifting terrain. Our Canadian-made HDPE piping rises to meet those challenges, offering a scalable solution for diverse transportation, refinement, and delivery needs.
HDPE’s high tolerance for chemical exposure, extreme pressures, and environmental stresses makes it a dependable choice for safe, long-lasting infrastructure across upstream, midstream, and downstream oil & gas operations throughout North America.
HDPE Conformance Standards for Oil & Gas
Alexander Tubular is proud to manufacture HDPE pipe to the following conformance standards for oil & gas operations:
- CSA B137.4 – Polyethylene (PE) piping systems for Gas Services
- Cell Classification 445574A and 445574C as per ASTM D3350
- Minimum 2-year outdoor storage per ASTM D2513
- ASTM D2513 Standard Specification for polyethylene (PE) Gas Pressure Pipe, Tubing, and Fittings
- Our material used is listed under the Plastic Pipe Institution (PPI) TR-4 Listing as PE4710
- Hydrostatic Design Basis 1,600 psi @ 73°F (23°C) and 1,000 psi @ 140°F (60°C) as per ASTM D2837
- Black and with Yellow striping available; with 2-3% carbon black as per ASTM D3350
HDPE Applications for Oil & Gas
HDPE piping is an indispensable part of modern oil and gas systems, supporting everything from well pad infrastructure and water injection to offshore rigs and temporary surface lines. The versatility and reliability allow operators to use a single piping solution across a wide range of North American environments, whether handling brine disposal in the field or managing fluid transport across remote, rugged terrain.
Alexander Tubular’s net-zero manufacturing targets and widely recyclable materials mean greater sustainability in your operations, while supporting a reliable and future-proof Canadian supply chain.

Advantages of HDPE for Oil & Gas
Built for Aggressive Fluids and Harsh Environments
Don’t let the lightweight design fool you—HDPE is inherently resistant to scaling, abrasion, and chemical attack, making it ideal for handling a wide range of materials, from hydrocarbons to produced water. Alexander Tubular piping maintains integrity where traditional steel may pit, rust, or degrade, ensuring consistent flow and reduced risk of shutdown or leaks.
Operational Safety and Environmental Confidence
Our commitment to environmental stewardship lives on in every project. HDPE’s seamless fusion process creates a fully bonded pipeline, significantly lowering the risk of leaks in volatile or sensitive environments. These safeguards not only protect workers and surrounding ecosystems but also ensure ongoing compliance with strict regulatory standards.
Streamlined Logistics for Rapid Deployment
With longer coil lengths and fewer fitting requirements, HDPE minimizes the number of joints and accelerates installation. Its low weight reduces transportation costs and storage requirements while simplifying logistics in difficult-to-access locations.
These time and cost savings are especially valuable in remote or temporary field setups.
