Inspection solutions and their role in pipeline repurposing

Achieving ambitious climate policy goals will require significant investments in energy efficiency, renewables, new low-carbon technologies, and grid infrastructure. It will also necessitate the close integration of the electricity and gas sectors and their respective infrastructures. A decarbonised Europe will be based on an interplay between renewable electricity and renewable and low-carbon gases in an integrated energy system, all aimed at transporting, storing, and supplying all sectors with green energy to deliver a reliable and affordable transition to climate neutrality.

A hard arrest: optimising mechanical crack arrestor design to stop running crack failure

Ductile fractures in pipelines occur when stresses exceed the normal tensile strength of the pipe material. Mechanical crack arrestors are used to contain the fracture and stop pipeline failure – but what type is best? PetroSleeve’s R. J. Smyth reviews a recent study that developed empirically based criteria to optimise the design of mechanical crack arrestors.
