killing employees and injured people in Texas oil refinery. And the other issue of the Alaskan oil pipelines leaked; their culture also reflect the safety negligence in their operation and management. Not check the pipelines by routine maintenance. BP management did not doing any corrective action on the contract worker discovered the first pipeline leak in March of 2006, (e.g. whole stop the pipelines operation for checking details), still waiting the leakage happen on August 2006. And in October

you generally won't have a problem. That's because the water will be dispersed in tiny droplets that are suspended in the flow. These suspended droplets won't react much with the steel surface of the pipes. Problems can arise in stretches of pipeline that run at lower pressures. In these spots, water droplets can coalesce and fall out of the oil flow. They might inundate globs of sand or dirt that have also fallen out of the crude-oil mix and form a watery sludge on the edge of the pipe. Once

FUTURE OF GAS PRICING IN INDIA Natural gas as a commodity is increasingly in demand in India. Natural gas presently constitutes About 10% of the country’s energy basket. India's hydrocarbon vision statement envisages the share of natural gas to be about 25% by 2025. With a substantial increase of share of natural gas on a rapidly increasing energy consumption base, it becomes imperative to identify new gas sourcing options, creating mechanisms for the markets to absorb the gas, and rationalizing

in 1985. The Houston Natural Gas Co and a Nebraska based company called InterNorth. The fusion between the two became the Enron Corporation in 1986 (“Enron Corporation” par. 2). The firm experienced a rapid growth as it shifted from being a gas pipeline company into a “global energy trader (“Enron Corporation” par. 6).” Enron enjoyed profuse economic benefits and experienced revenues amounting up to 100 billion dollars by 2000 (“Enron Corporation” par. 6). The firm ventured to other facilities

Keystone XL Pipeline Project It is said that Canadian and American people cannot agree on the same thing, but the Keystone XL Pipeline Project has made that argument incorrect. As of today Americans and Canadians have fully committed to the construction of the Pipeline from Hardisty, Alberta to Steele City, Nebraska. Although both sides of the boarder agree to the fullest on the pipeline. The president of the United States of America does not agree. TransCanada who is the lead producer of the pipeline

Pipelines OZ Location classification I thought I might start a serious of posts on location classification, since it’s an important concept in AS 2885 and some aspects of it cause confusion. To start with the basics, location classification is a way of categorising land uses to reflect the threats to and from the pipeline. Where there are lots of people there is not only likely to be an increased level of activity that might result in pipeline damage, but the consequences of a serious pipeline

railways in carrying this load is around 70 per cent, followed by 25 per cent for pipelines and 5 per cent for roads. Railways and roads are inefficient modes of carrying petroleum products because they consume significantly more energy (320 BTU for railways and 1700 BTU for roads to move one tonne of petroleum products over one km) than pipelines for which the comparable figure is only 50-135 BTU. Clearly, pipeline transportation is the most efficient way of moving petroleum products and gases and

explicitly to represent all of the interstate natural gas pipelines in a comprehensive nationwide model of the supply, demand, and transportation of natural gas [1]. This served as the basis for forecasting models used by the U.S. Department of Energy and Federal Energy Regulatory Commission during the 1970's [2, 3, 4, 5]. In the first such model, gas supply was divided up into about thirty production regions and demand was specified by state. Each pipeline was represented by a network of nodes and arcs,

Permitting the Keystone XL Pipeline To Be Built Anthony Draper EN 1420 The Keystone Xl pipeline which is a proposed pipeline line that would run from Alberta Canada down through the US to the Gulf Coast should be permitted to be built. It would have a huge positive benefit on the country as a whole. It will provide America with more permanent jobs, economic growth; reduce our dependency on overseas energy, reduce emissions from trucks on the road transporting oil as well as train cars carrying
