It has been proposed that the CO2 produced at sources such as fossil energy conversion facilities and industrial process plants could be captured, compressed to supercritical pressures, transported via pipelines and stored in underground geologic formations such as depleted oil and natural gas reservoirs and deep saline aquifers. In this paper, we describe the initial phases of a project using ...

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...

Detection of minor leaks in oil or gas pipelines is a critical and persistent problem the industry. Many organisations have long relied on fixed hardware manual assessments to monitor leaks. With rapid industrialisation technological advancements, innovative engineering technologies that are cost-effective, faster, easier implement essential. Herein, machine learning-based anomaly detection mod...

The modelling and design of a full wireless microwave communication system is examined, where the signal propagates within an overmoded circular metallic pipeline. Applications include oil gas industry. A specific link budget equation was also developed for S-band transmission measured successfully using 36-meter carbon steel pipeline, which can be easily extended to more than 150 meters. Also,...
