Mitigation of Gas Pipeline Integrity Problems

presents the methodology to enable engineers, experienced or not, to alleviate pipeline integrity problems during operation. It explains the principal considerations and establishes a common approach in tackling technical challenges that may arise during gas production.

Key Topics Covered

• Covers third-party damage, corrosion, geotechnical hazards, stress corrosion cracking, off-spec sales gas, improper design or material selection, as-built flaws, improper operations, and leak and break detection

• Details various hazard mitigation options

• Offers tested concepts of pipeline integrity blended with recent research results, documented in a scholarly fashion to make it simple to the average reader

This practical work serves the needs of advanced students, researchers, and professionals working in pipeline engineering and petrochemical industries.
