Discover the integrity, safety, and security of new and aging oil and gas pipelines in this comprehensive reference guide

Oil and gas pipelines are typically used to transport oil and gas, but can be adapted to transport ethanol, carbon dioxide, hydrogen, and more. A pipeline network is an efficient method for transporting any number of energy-providing products, but safety and integrity are critical aspects of pipeline integrity management. The demand for pipeline safety and security is increasing in the face of more stringent standards and deepening environmental concerns, including those related to climate change.

Oil and Gas Pipelines: Integrity, Safety, and Security Handbook provides a comprehensive introduction to the integrity of new and aging pipelines and their management, repair, and maintenance. All major varieties of pipeline are included, along with all pertinent public safety and environmental protections. Now fully updated to reflect the latest research and technological developments, the book is a critical contribution to the reliability and safety of the global energy grid and ongoing efforts at carbon capture, utilization, and storage.

Readers of the second edition of Oil and Gas Pipelines will also find:

26 new chapters including a new section on the digitalization of pipelines Detailed discussion of topics including management of geohazards, mechanical damage, internal corrosion monitoring, and many more Extensive case histories with practical accompanying solutions

Oil and Gas Pipelines is ideal for engineers, scientists, technologists, environmentalists, students, and others who need to understand the basics of pipeline technology as it pertains to energy deliverability, environmental protection, public safety, and the important role of pipelines and pipeline security to ensure energy security during the energy transition.
