The most economical way to move liquids and gaseous hydrocarbons is by using pipelines. According several international organizations oil companies, the use of fossil fuels will continue in following decades. For this reason, it important studying different corrosion mechanisms their origins. One that provoke small leaks, affecting pipeline hermeticity, pitting corrosion. It well-known non-meta...

Thawing permafrost has affected the structural integrity of buried warm pipelines in cold regions and poses an ongoing threat context climate change. Therefore, characterizing variation engineering properties pipeline foundation its effect on mechanical behavior is important. In this paper, ground temperature distributions around a response to differential thaw settlement are investigated using...

Making Linked Data queryable on the Web is not an easy task for publishers, for technical and logistical reasons. Can they afford to offer a sparql endpoint, or should they offer an api or data dump instead? And what technical knowledge is needed for that? This demo presents a user-friendly pipeline to compose apis for Linked Datasets, consisting of a customizable set of reusable features, e.g....

Due to instant availability of data on social media platforms like Twitter, and advances in machine learning and data management technology, real-time crisis informatics has emerged as a prolific research area in the last decade. Although several benchmarks are now available, especially on portals like CrisisLex, an important, practical problem that has not been addressed thus far is the rapid ...

An electrochemically integrated Synchrotron Radiation-Grazing Incidence X-Ray Diffraction (SR-GIXRD) flow cell for studying corrosion product formation on carbon steel in carbon dioxide (CO2)-containing brines typical of oil and gas production has been developed. The system is capable of generating flow velocities of up to 2 m/s at temperatures in excess of 80 °C during SR-GIXRD measurements of...

Oil and gas pipelines manufactured from API-5L Grade X65 steel are generally subjected to cyclic loading their internal surfaces frequently exposed corrosive sour fluids. Exposure of these environments often leads localized corrosion (pitting) decreased fatigue life. Corrosion pits geometrical discontinuities that may promote cracking by acting as stress raisers. In order optimize asset inspect...
