Transient Operation Optimization Technology of Gas Transmission Pipeline: A Case Study of West-East Gas Transmission Pipeline

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...

A mixed integer nonlinear programming model for optimizing a gas pipeline transmission linear network

The technical equipment developed and used in both installation and operation processes in refineries, oil and gas pipelines, and gas booster stations has always been expensive. Hence, managers at different organizational levels are keen to find methods to control and reduce these costs. Generally speaking, the operators in a gas booster station choose the operating devices without considering ...

Looped Pipeline System for Increasing the Capacity of Natural Gas Transmission

risk assessment and management of gas transmission lines, in alamout natural gas pipeline

using natural gas as a clean, plentiful and inexpensive source of energy in recent years has progressively increased in iran. pipelines are the most common system to transport natural gas from field to different regions of iran. these pipelines always pose risks to surrounding population and environments. the aim of this study was to assess the potential health, safety, and environment risk of ...

Ductile Failure and Safety Optimization of Gas Pipeline

Safety and failure in gas pipelines are very important in gas and petroleum industry. For this reason, it is important to study the effect of different parameters in order to reach the maximum safety in design and application. In this paper, a three dimensional finite element analysis is carried out to study the effect of crack length, crack depth, crack position, internal pressure and pipe thi...
