The recent development of X-120 high-strength steel line pipe (nominal yield strength of 120 ksi) enables gas producers to realize significant savings in the total cost of long-distance gas transmission pipelines, lowering the cost of supplying gas to market. These savings can be achieved from cost reductions in material, construction, compression, and integrated-project operations. Described here are the methods of achieving these savings and example projects in which application of X-120 line pipe in higher pressure, smaller diameter pipelines results in total project cost savings of 5 to 15 %.
