About Innopipe

Effective liquids removal of liquids from natural gas streams, above or below ground.

• Our Story

  Innopipe Technology was developed and patented in 1996 by Miles Haukeness, a pipeline integrity engineer at Union Gas (now Enbridge). The invention addressed a long-standing challenge in natural gas transmission: effectively removing liquids from pipelines connected to underground storage caverns.

  Traditional “drips” were unreliable—they were piggable, but still allowed liquids to bypass. Drawing on years of field experience, Mr. Haukeness recognized that annular flow conditions (common in gas transmission) caused liquids to travel as a film along the entire inner pipe wall, not just the bottom. This explained why previous drips missed much of the liquids. This insight led to the creation of a unique annular flow liquid removal mechanism—the core of what became Innopipe Technology.

  Milestones in Innovation

  •             1997–2011

  Over 30 piggable Innopipe systems were successfully installed across the Union Gas / Enbridge transmission network.

  •             2000

  OilPro, a Calgary-based production equipment provider, began promoting Innopipe across Western Canada and into international markets.

  •             2001–2015

  The technology expanded into new applications: gas gathering systems, compressor protection, process tower carryover, inlet separation, and gas-fired power plants. Clients included Baytex Energy, BP, Encana, Amoco Canada, and Kuwait Oil Company.

  •             2015

  Innopipe Systems Ltd. (ISL) was incorporated in Alberta. Mr. Haukeness and the OilPro team became equal partners, uniting around a shared vision for growth and innovation.

  •             2015–2024

  ISL scaled globally, achieving over 100 installations worldwide and earning a reputation for reliability, innovation, and field-proven performance.

  •             2025–Today

  With the growing client base and demand for piggable inline separation, ISL welcomed new engineering partners to accelerate growth. Backed by decades of Canadian energy expertise, the team is focused on expanding applications and delivering next-generation solutions to the global market.
