“With the industry’s ever-tightening leak detection and rupture mitigation requirements, regulators are recommending the use of advanced technologies for oil and gas companies to manage their operations safely and profitably. The risks of not having critical data when needed are becoming too great for operators of gas and liquid pipelines and storage facilities.

“The latest round of PHMSA’s ‘Mega’ rulings is only one part of a new regulatory landscape unfolding in the US and globally. The emphasis now is on the continuous monitoring of pipeline integrity, and facilitating early detection of anomalies that could indicate a leak or the potential for rupture.”

In the May 2024 issue of World Pipelines, Mathew Aneke (PhD, CEng, CEnergEng, FHEA), Senior Energy Transition Consultant, at Penspen, UK, offers an introduction to anthropogenic CO2 pipeline systems and outlines how to effectively address the challenges they present.

“CO2 sources from human activities (otherwise known as anthropogenic CO2) contain a wide range and high concentration of impurities (contaminants). These impurities significantly affect the thermophysical and transport properties of CO2, impacting the reliable and safe operation of the CO2 pipeline transport system.”

In the May 2024 issue of World Pipelines, Mark Naples, Managing Director at Umicore Coating Services, writes about methane emissions.

“This discrepancy between what is often reported and what monitoring picks up is a significant issue for the oil and gas industry. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), the global energy sector was responsible for almost 135 million t of methane emissions in 2022. Coal, oil, and natural gas operations alone were each found to be responsible for around 40 million t of emissions, and another 5 million t in the form of leaks from end-of-use-equipment. Combined, this means the sector is responsible for almost 40% of total methane emissions that can be linked to human activity.”
