A Cost Function for the Natural Gas Transmission Industry: Further Considerations

Looped Pipeline System for Increasing the Capacity of Natural Gas Transmission

Optimization Models in The Natural Gas Industry

With the surge of the global energy demand, natural gas plays an increasingly important role in the global energy market. To meet the demand, optimization techniques have been widely used in the natural gas industry, and yielded a lot of promising results. In this chapter, we give a detailed discussion of optimization models in the natural gas industry with the focus on the natural gas producti...

Experimental Study of the Residual Stresses in Girth Weld of Natural Gas Transmission Pipeline

In order to achieve integrated condition in the girth welding of high pressure natural gas transmission pipelines, the weld zones and its surrounding area should have good mechanical properties. Residual stresses are an important defect especially in the girth welding of the pipeline. In this study, two API X70 steel pipes (with spiral seam weld) of 56 inches outside diameter and 0.780 inch wal...
