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.

Why pipeline leak detection is a crucial element of Carbon capture and storage (CCS)

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is becoming an important method of decarbonization for the energy sector. Here’s why pipeline leak detection is a crucial element to mitigate the risks of a CO2 pipeline leak.
