On the island of Sakhalin, a long slice of land situated in the frozen Far East Siberian North Pacific,
temperatures often drop to 50 below zero. This is a land rich in oil where all equipment is utilised in extreme conditions and which tax the resistance of machine and man to the full.
In this inhospitable area, gelidity is the principle enemy to those who extract, store and transport the crude oil. As a result, Saibos, of the Saipem group commissioned 6 particular pipe-in-pipe systems from Resinex in order to protect the pipeline hoses in the Sakhalin 2 field.
Basically, it is a pipe within another, insulated from the hostile exterior environment by a type of air space created by six high resistant polyethylene collars thus guaranteeing protection of the contents.
