OSHA has ordered a pipeline inspection firm to reinstate a worker who was fired after raising safety concerns during a natural gas pipeline installation in Oklahoma.
Nonintrusive acoustic monitoring is enabling earlier detection of debris, cavitation and seal degradation, helping pipeline operators improve reliability and prevent costly pump failures.
Uzbekistan will repair leaks across its aging gas transmission system under a new World Bank-backed program aimed at reducing losses, improving energy supply and recovering gas for households and industry.
Peru is tapping fuel reserves after a major gas pipeline rupture slashed supplies and forced export suspensions, triggering the country’s worst energy crisis in two decades.
A pipeline rupture near Peru’s Camisea gas field forced Pluspetrol to suspend LPG production, cutting supply from a facility that provides roughly 70% of the country’s domestic demand.
Black powder buildup in sour gas pipelines is creating electrical bridging, cathodic protection failures and isolation breakdowns—raising corrosion risk and increasing pipeline integrity challenges.
NDT Global’s CIGMA-x ultrasonic inline inspection tool improves crack detection in gas pipelines, using Lamb wave technology and machine-learning-enhanced analysis to strengthen integrity management and regulatory compliance.
Pressure vessel inspections in midstream operations often require more than strict code defaults. This article examines how common-sense engineering judgment can improve mechanical integrity outcomes while maintaining regulatory compliance.
Towngas has introduced drone inspections for high-pressure gas pipelines, using laser detection and 3D terrain analysis to speed damage assessments and improve safety after extreme weather.
Atar Capital has completed a management buyout exit of Frontier Integrity Solutions, a U.S. provider of pipeline inspection and integrity services supporting oil and gas infrastructure safety.
A rupture on a 34-inch SoCalGas pipeline in Castaic forced the closure of Interstate 5 and triggered a shelter-in-place order as crews isolated the line and began assessing damage.
Part 2 presents new analysis of how burial design variables—especially bedding angle, depth of cover and compaction—shape slow crack growth risk and long-term reliability in HDPE pipelines.
Drone use across the oil and gas supply chain is growing, but midstream adoption still hinges on costs, methane-sensing payloads and FAA rules around beyond-visual-line-of-sight flight—especially for long, remote pipeline corridors.
Transco has declared a force majeure at Compressor Station 517 after an unplanned outage, restricting west-to-east gas flows and cutting primary firm capacity by up to 40% through late December.
Emergency crews responded to a major oil spill along the Rostock–Schwedt pipeline in northeastern Germany after an accident disrupted crude flow to the PCK refinery. Officials said no injuries occurred and refinery operations remain unaffected.
