Objectives/Scope: With the rise of big data analytics in petroleum engineering, a plethora of data collectors, sensors, transmission devices, and software tools is entering our lives at the personal and professional levels. Data is extracted,…
This paper proposes a systemic framework for dynamic safety risk analysis for natural gas pipeline leakage in a utility tunnel, which merges the bow-Tie model (BT), Bayesian network (BN), and fuzzy set theory (FST) combined with monitoring data.…
Since the transportation of dangerous goods is related to the fundamental interests of all parties, the road transportation path selection of dangerous goods must be considered in a balance between the transportation cost of enterprises and the risk…
Solid and wax precipitation during production, transportation, and storage of petroleum fluids is a common problem faced by the oil industry throughout the world. Continuous wax deposition is a critical issue for offshore transport pipeline and for…
Two types of composites, fiberglass/epoxy and fiberglass/polyester, were compared for possible application to natural gas pipelines. The properties of these composites in some corrosive media were estimated using tensile break and weight change…
This paper investigates the effect of the viscosity of crude oil and stress acting on buried oil pipelines inside dune sand. Due to the increase in energy demand, transportation of all hydrocarbons is obligatory. However, transportation of this oil…
To evaluate the connectivity reliability of key nodes under the effect of correlative extreme events in the maritime transportation network of crude oil, the vine copula is proposed to construct the joint probability distribution, and the…
Due to advances in hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling, the abundance of inexpensive natural gas has revolutionized the energy industry. As the world population increases, natural gas will play a prominent role in satisfying new energy…
This paper reviews recent contributions on the liquefied natural gas (LNG) value chain in the field of process systems engineering (PSE). While previous review articles deal with specific topics for each issue on the LNG value chain, this paper deals…
The main load-bearing component of a suspension cable spanning natural gas pipeline is a cable with considerable flexibility, which is prone to large deformation and stress under the action of pigging load. Once load exceeds the design allowable…
