Pipelines are regarded as the lifelines of national economy most oil producing countries. This is because these pipelines which cover thousands kilometers used to transport large volumes refined and unrefined petroleum products, crude natural gas. These often come under terrorist attacks vandalism can lead pollution problems, theft contents pipeline huge economic loss. In view this, it very nec...

In order to enhance the precision of the pipeline MFL (Magnetic Flux Leakage) detecting system measurement, detailed flux information obtained by decreasing time and space intervals for sampling is needed. The huge amount of data produced by this will exceed the processing ability of the system. Data compression is an effective way of solving this problem. In this paper we present a diagnostica...

Radio-frequency transducers for obtaining primary information about parameters of the flows of mixes in pipelines are proposed. Sensors of transducers are resonators of a special construction, which do not create interference with the flow. The dependences of resonance frequency and amplitude of oscillations of resonators on the volumetric content of components of twoand three-component emulsio...

On January 27, 2016, the Government of Canada announced that “direct and upstream greenhouse gas emissions” would factor into the regulatory review process for proposed pipeline projects.1 The new standard aims to address claims that new pipelines will induce greater expansion of Canada’s oil sands, producing more greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Specific details were not provided in the governm...

Worldwide consumption in oil and natural gas is expected to lead all other energy sources in the next 20 years. The oil & gas pipeline network will constantly expand placing greater demand on operators to ensure any integrity threats to these pipeline systems are accurately and reliably identified. What are the main integrity threats to pipelines? There are many such as third-party damage, exte...
