Underground pipelines are an indispensable part of urban public facilities. However, the frequent occurrence of pipeline accidents in recent years has not only brought great inconvenience to people's lives, but also affected people's lives and…
Maintaining the integrity of pipelines over long distances is an ongoing challenge for oil and gas companies. Among many factors, corrosion is one of the major causes of pipeline failure. Therefore, timely and accurate detection of corrosion is…
Publisher Summary This chapter deals with the pipeline leak detection techniques. Leak detection systems range from simple, visual line walking and checking to complex arrangements of hardware and software. No one method is universally applicable,…
Using 2012–2018 power plant failure data from the North American Electric Reliability Corporation, we examine how many fuel shortage failures at gas power plants were caused by physical interruptions of gas flow as opposed to operational procedures…
Corrosion is a major threat to safety and asset integrity in oil and gas production and processing facilities. This paper proposes a simple, yet practical model for quantitative corrosion risk assessment from safety and economic perspectives. This…
Pumping systems are a key component of oil and gas pipeline transportation assets: monitoring their integrity is a crucial operation from a safety and revenue point of view. The solutions currently employed in the industry apply supervised machine…
