Ask the expert Q&A: using pipeline simulation live on site, for the energy transition, for accurate models and more

Pipeline simulation software like Atmos SIM can support problem-solving at all stages of a pipeline lifecycle. We interviewed our Chief Simulation Scientist and co-author of “The Atmos book of pipeline simulation”, who answered some of the key questions we get asked around pipeline simulation.

Reducing greenhouse gas emissions in pipelines

Liquid and gas pipelines are one of the safest means of transporting fuel. Using cost-effective and efficient actions, they can also reduce their greenhouse gas emissions to help combat climate change.

Navigating the pipeline leak detection standards of the American Petroleum Institute (API)

Compliance with API standards for pipeline leak detection is a crucial consideration for operators. We discuss the key standards for North America in this article, which widely influence global compliance.

How pipeline simulation supports flow assurance throughout the pipeline lifecycle

Flow assurance, coined by Petrobras in the 1990s simply means ‘guarantee of flow’. Here we explore some of the key flow assurance challenges and how pipeline simulation supports throughout the lifecycle of the pipeline.

Environmental and natural threats to pipeline integrity in Latin America

Ensuring the integrity of pipelines in remote or high consequence areas (HCAs) is crucial. We explore some of the environmental threats to the pipeline infrastructure in specific countries.
