laska has accepted two Stranded Gas Applications that will allow North Slope producers to enter into negotiations on terms to construct natural gas pipelines to the Lower 48. The applications, which suggest that the future for major pipelines to bring natural gas to the U.S. remains bright, also indicate the rising competitive interest in building such a pipeline. Alaska Gov. Frank Murkowski an...

offshore pipelines used for oil and gas transportation are often buried to avoid damage from fishing activities and to provide thermal insulation. thermal expansion and contraction of the pipeline during operation can lead to lateral or upheaval buckling. a safe buried pipeline design must take into account a reliable evaluation of soil uplift resistance and pipe embedment depth. while the cost...

My dissertation concentrates on several aspects of supply chain management and economic valuation of real options in the natural gas and liquefied natural gas (LNG) industry, including gas pipeline transportation, ocean LNG shipping logistics, and downstream storage. Chapter 1 briefly introduces the natural gas and LNG industries, and the topics studied in this thesis. Chapter 2 studies how to ...

Introduction: The safety of the Unites States’ natural gas supply is of prime importance since 30% of the energy produced in the country is derived from it. Natural gas is supplied through a million miles of vast pipeline network [1]. Pipeline companies have an impressive safety record due to the proactive role of standards and inspection of pipelines. Since the pipelines are getting old, there...

In this paper, we use the Global Gas Model to analyze the perspectives and infrastructure needs of the European natural gas market until 2050. Three pathways of natural gas consumption in a future low-carbon energy system in Europe are envisaged: i) a decreasing natural gas consumption, along the results of the PRIMES model for the EMF decarbonization scenarios; ii) a moderate increase of natur...

This paper simulates transient compressible adiabatic gas flows in a long pipeline following a catastrophic failure using an implicit high order finite difference scheme as a discretisation technique for convective terms. A rupture is assumed to be occurred accidentally at a distance from the feeding point of a pipeline where the pipeline being divided into two distinct sections, high and low p...

The fundamental equations which describe the flow through gas and liquid pipelines are formally identical. However, the wide gap between the compressibility ranges of gases and liquids leads to quite different transport characteristics for both kinds of media. While for oil pipelines and pump stations specific topics like batch operation, surges, and possible slack line scenarios have to be con...

The purpose of this study was to determine the extensity of gastro-intestinal helminths in stray dogs in Erzurum province (Turkey). During the investigation, stool samples were collected from 172 dogs of diff erent ages and sex from dog housing of Erzurum Metropolitan Municipality at diff erent times and examined by Fulleborn fl otation and Benedek sedimentation methods. Helminth infection was ...
