Editorial 5-2019
It was not surprising that both chambers of the U.S. Congress signed a bill that will put sanctions in place against some companies that are currently working to finalize the much-disputed Nord Stream 2 pipeline. The pipeline will still be completed, though, because Russia already made clear that it will replace every company necessary that is...

Digital Pipeline Integrity with Spiral Wound Pipe

Digital Pipeline Integrity with Spiral Wound Pipe
Digital Pipeline Integrity with Spiral Wound Pipe
Interest in using digital systems for pipeline integrity management are growing and the potential both for cost saving on time based manual inspection and for improved real time data is huge. A onshore new pipeline system, MASiP, (Mobile Automated Spiral Interlocking Pipe) has been developed that incorporates spiral wound optical fibre as a means...

Pipeline Leak Detection via Machine Learning
As physical entities, pipelines are subject to numerous points of failure including corrosion, mechanical damage, and natural hazards. Despite being infrequent, pipeline failure can have disproportionate consequences resulting from environmental clean-up and lost production. Best practices in pipeline risk management employ both leak-prevention and...

A recent newcomer in the global energy mix, natural gas will represent the second biggest share after oil by 2040 , according to the International Energy Agency (IEA). Demand on natural gas is rising globally with the economic growth of developing countries and the significant move from coal to gas initiated by governments to meet the challenge of...

Editorial: ptj - moving forward with new services and a new design

Editorial 4-2019
Editorial 4-2019
You have certainly noticed it already: the ptj now looks different than before. This is the result of an extensive improvement process to which we have committed ourselves in order to provide the international pipeline community with even better content. Of course, the appearance plays only the smallest part, even if it is the most conspicuous at...

Current View of Design and Evaluation of Sulfur Pipelines

Current View of Design and Evaluation of Sulfur Pipelines
The global production of natural gas is increasing continuously leading to development of gas fields with challenging contents such as sour gas containing highly toxic hydrogen sulfide. In a process called “gas sweetening” the hydrogen sulfide is removed, yielding liquid elemental sulfur. This substance is not just a by- product of the natural gas...

River crossing and water crossing survey by airborne bathymetric laser scanning - Case study TAG
Airborne bathymetric laser scanning delivers the same results as regular airborne laser scanning, but with one major difference, this technology is able to penetrate water. The technology has matured through the past years, meanwhile it is used for the bathymetric survey of lakes, harbors, coastal shore lines and rivers. The Trans Austria...

Pipelines may observe significant axial displacement or force at the ends that tie-in with connected equipment and/or facilities. These axial forces are mainly driven by pipe size, temperature, pressure, length and surrounding soils or supports, and can have devastating effects on connecting facilities if not properly accommodated in the design...
