A new reliability study from Universidad Nacional de Colombia analyzes how slow crack growth (SCG) and burial design variables—such as soil class, depth of cover, and trench width—affect the long-term performance of HDPE pipelines. Using Monte Carlo simulations and machine learning, researchers identify key factors influencing pipeline failure risk.
Emerson’s clamp-on ultrasonic flowmeters measure natural gas volume and composition without process penetrations. By calculating compressibility, molar mass and BTU value in real time, the non-invasive systems provide accurate, low-maintenance solutions for gas quality and flow monitoring across pipeline networks.
SwRI has expanded its Metering Research Facility to test hydrogen–natural gas blends, adding new injection and safety systems to study how hydrogen affects pipeline infrastructure, flow measurement and equipment performance.
Accurate moisture monitoring prevents hydrate formation, corrosion, and costly shutdowns. Panametrics analyzers ensure reliable gas quality and continuous protection across natural gas pipelines.
UniSource Energy Services replaced outdated chart recorders with remote pressure monitoring technology, improving safety, reducing costs, and streamlining regulatory compliance across Arizona’s gas distribution network.
New technologies are reshaping how the industry measures water vapor in natural gas pipelines, from chilled mirrors to TDLAS systems. Learn how operators are minimizing risk, preventing hydrate formation, and reducing costs.
Discover reliability with our Emerson Natural Gas Metering System, a comprehensive solution designed to ensure accuracy, reliability, and efficiency in natural gas measurement.
Oil and gas operators the world over face the same set of challenges, best summed up as requiring that they identify and implement the safest and most cost-effective way of maximizing hydrocarbon output.
The comprehensive “Volume X: The World Market for Flowmeters, 9th Edition” study from Flow Research reveals that the worldwide market for all types of flowmeter technologies totaled $7.6 billion in 2022 and $7.9 billion in 2023, with revenues forecast to reach $9.6 billion in 2027.
Explore essential skills and strategies for measurement technicians to bridge the industry skills gap, adapt to technological advancements, and excel in pipeline operations. This comprehensive guide covers training, communication, and practical tips for success.
Accurate, real-time data is essential to succeeding in the oil and gas industry. Engineers need operational data from the field to calibrate equipment, schedule maintenance activities and coordinate with third-party logistics, to keep the flow of product moving.
Smart gas meters enable companies, households and municipalities to remotely access data and device functionality through a network, such as Wi-Fi, a portal or a cellular phone network.
(P&GJ) — It’s hardly surprising that major gas leaks hit international headlines. Known as super-emitter events, these leaks cause plumes of methane to escape into our atmosphere — sometimes for days on end. However, these leaks are often spotted by satellites orbiting our planet before they are even known about on Earth.
(P&GJ) — Pipeline integrity management systems (PIMS) are now in common practice, driven by the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) requirements in the U.S. In June 2022, PHMSA updated an advisory bulletin on earth movement and geohazards, to monitor changing weather patterns and consider the risk posed by climate change.
(P&GJ) — What drives paradigm shifts? Are paradigm shifts in industry the result of changes in behavior which lead to technology innovation, or does technology innovation precede paradigm shifts in behavior? This existential “what came first, the chicken or the egg” question may not have a universal answer, but in mature, risk averse, and regulated industries, the answer is almost universally the latter.
