The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), the independent agency responsible for regulating interstate transmission of electricity, natural gas and oil, is calling for more natural gas consumption along with an improved natural gas pipeline network to help curb greenhouse gas emissions and meet global climate goals.
DNV GL has announced that it is launching a joint industry project (JIP) to better understand how sour gas affects pipeline performance and reliability in deeper water.
The project is predicated on the notion that pipe material and welds are more vulnerable to fractures and cracks in a pressurized sour environment.
With South Stream called off by the Russians, will South Stream 2.0 fare better? Will either the Trans-Adriatic Pipeline or Trans-Anatolian Pipeline be viable if Turkmen gas is not added to the mix? Will Nabucco be resurrected amidst all the uncertainty?
Looking to capitalize on a massive natural gas reservoir discovered in disputed territorial waters 90 km off the joint Israel - Lebanese border, Israel has proposed that the EU invest in a multi-billion euro 1530 km offshore pipeline to carry the product to Europe.

Besides the main show in Berlin, additional ptc-related events will take place in other "regional hubs". Upcoming: Kuwait (gateway to the Middle East) and Tunisia (gateway to Africa).
Delegates from 42 different nations travelled to Berlin for the 9th Pipeline Technology Conference (ptc) from 12-14 May, in order to gather information from nearly 70 presentations on the latest trends in design, construction, operation and maintenance of onshore and offshore pipelines. A new attendance record was set with over 420 participants.
The May issue will again focus on pipeline safety and reliability aspects and it includes technical reports on Sustainable Rehabilitation, The Linear Risk Integral (LRI) approach in pipeline QRA, Turkmen Gas to Turkey & EU and Challenges for Biogas Feed-In Plants.
The annual Pipeline Technology Conference, ptc (www.pipeline-conference.com) is known for its enduring dealing with the latest technological developments in the pipeline industry.
Following the success of the International Pipeline Seminar Week in Hamburg, Germany in October 2013, we would like to invite you to participate in the Pipeline Technology Seminar (Middle East) 2014. It will take place from 25-26 February 2014 in Dubai city.
The second issue of the new ptj covers reports about research, development and technology, news from industry and practice and latest information about pipeline conferences and other related event information. It especially focuses on the safety and reliability of pipelines.
The annual Pipeline Technology Conference ptc is known for its permanent dealing with the latest technological developments in the pipeline industry.
Participants have increasingly requested to treat some developments with regard to a deeper application in their companies. Therefore in the past 1-2 years special seminars have been appended to the conference.
The 5-day seminar on "Pipeline life-cycle extension strategies - new technologies in operation" gives detailed information about well-approved strategies for a failure-free and economic operation and maintenance of high-pressure oil and gas pipeline systems. It will take place from 21-25 October 2013 in Hamburg, Germany.
Having grown up as part of HANNOVER MESSE, Europe’s leading pipeline conference and trade show, Pipeline Technology Conference (ptc), will move to the capital Berlin next year.
The first three companies have already booked their sponsorship package for Pipeline Technology Conference 2014 and will from now on be part of the international marketing of the event.
