Monitoring

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 has launched its Fisher ARMOR gas monitoring device, a digital system that enhances safety, reliability, and compliance for natural gas utilities through real-time data and cloud-based analytics.

By combining process cameras with traditional hydrocarbon dewpoint analysis, engineers can now identify liquid carryover in real time, recover lost NGL revenue, extend equipment life, and enhance pipeline integrity.

UniSource Energy Services replaced outdated chart recorders with remote pressure monitoring technology, improving safety, reducing costs, and streamlining regulatory compliance across Arizona’s gas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.

In these days of growing efforts to reduce the effects of climate change, the agriculture sector is often cited as a major source of greenhouse gases (GHGs), including methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O), with those two sources combined accounting for about 10% of global non-carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.

IMI is ready to deliver 15 QuickTrak Digital Valve Control System and Positioners for one of the world’s largest oil pipelines, which spans approximately 800 miles (1,287 km) across Alaska, marking a significant step forward in enhancing the efficiency and safety of this piece of critical infrastructure.

Columbia Gas land technician Susan Murray shares how the company transformed gas pipeline rights-of-way into thriving pollinator habitats. Through integrated vegetation management and community partnerships, over 50 acres have been restored—supporting biodiversity, reducing maintenance costs, and setting a new standard for environmental stewardship.

Phillips 66 has expanded its partnership with Bridger Photonics to deploy aerial methane detection across its entire midstream network. Using advanced Gas Mapping LiDAR technology, the company will conduct biannual scans to enhance emissions monitoring and mitigation efforts.

Dry gas flows can unpredictably become wet, and accidental liquids in gas transmission networks create hidden financial costs and pose serious safety risks.

The U.S. Department of Transportation’s Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) has introduced a final rule aimed at modernizing leak detection and repair requirements for natural gas pipelines.

Colonial Pipeline's main gasoline artery, Line 1, is expected to be shut through Friday as the company continues to search for the source of a suspected leak in Paulding County, Georgia, it said in a statement on Wednesday.

PipeSense, installed three of its advanced systems across the U.S. in support of EnControl, a third-party control room company to the oil, gas and hydrogen industries.

Pipelines play an integral part in modern industry. They help transport essential resources like water, oil, and gas across vast distances, ensuring facilities stay functional and operational.

Southern Star is a key player in the natural gas sector. Overseeing 5,800 miles of pipeline, 43 compressor stations and eight gas porosity storage fields, the company has many assets and work processes to manage and maintain. Read how Southern Star gained a 25% increase in efficiency and optimized time and resources through an upgraded asset management system.

(P&GJ) — Innovative inline inspection technologies NDT Global launched a 56-inch ultrasonic inline inspection tool, which was developed in collaboration oil and gas company Aramco.
