Abstract Pipelines are critical for energy distribution, but incidents causing rupture fires hazardous. While wildland a natural disturbance, potential risk and novel disturbance given the greater heat yield constants fossil fuels, fuel volume, flaming concentration duration. We quantified vegetation response to 2018 fire case study in montane cordillera of Canada. Plant species, functional gro...

Economical design with sufficient fracture resistance is of high importance in any offshore pipeline projects. Using an Engineering Critical Assessment (ECA), alternate acceptance criteria for pipeline girth weld inspection can significantly reduce the cost of constructing of offshore oil and gas pipeline by minimizing unnecessary repairs. Offshore pipelines consist of short pipeline segments c...

An increasing price and demand for natural gas has made it possible to explore remote gas fields. Traditional offshore production platforms for natural gas have been exporting the partially processed natural gas to shore, where it is further processed to permit consumption by end-users. Such an approach is possible where the gas field is located within a reasonable distance from shore or from a...
