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...

Natural-gas pipeline accidents mostly result in major damage even to buildings located far away. Therefore, proper safety distances should be observed in land use planning to ensure target safety levels for both existing and new buildings. In this paper, a quantitative risk assessment procedure is presented for the estimation of the annual probability of direct structural damage to reinforced c...

Natural gas station is an important part of the whole natural pipeline transmission system, in which vibration a hidden danger that cannot be ignored for safe operation station. In view severe enterprise, acceleration sensors are used to test each measuring point under different working conditions, and then three-dimensional finite element model established by using numerical simulation softwar...
