Natural Gas Pipelines

A Calculation Model for Gas Transmission Efficiency of Long Distance Pipelines

Due to the formation of corrosion products, natural gas liquids and gas hydrates in long distance pipelines, timely and effective pigging operations are necessary to improve the gas transmission efficiency, reduce pressure loss, as well as guarantee the safe operation of gas wells, pipelines and networks. Gas transmission efficiency is a parameter to reflect the working condition and cleanlines...

Natural gas and CO2 price variation: impact on the relative cost-efficiency of LNG and pipelines

THIS ARTICLE DEVELOPS A FORMAL MODEL FOR COMPARING THE COST STRUCTURE OF THE TWO MAIN TRANSPORT OPTIONS FOR NATURAL GAS: liquefied natural gas (LNG) and pipelines. In particular, it evaluates how variations in the prices of natural gas and greenhouse gas emissions affect the relative cost-efficiency of these two options. Natural gas is often promoted as the most environmentally friendly of all ...

Acoustic Reflectometry for Gas Pipelines – Monitoring Features in Gas Pipelines Using Acoustek

This paper will provide an overview of a patented acoustic technique known as Acoustek ® that has been developed to detect features, such as blockages and leakages in gas pipelines. The technique involves injecting an acoustic, or pressure pulse into the gas within the pipeline. This acoustic pulse will travel as a plane wave along the pipeline and will be partially reflected wherever there is ...
