The Pipeline Research Council International (PRCI) has introduced an AI-powered assistant to help engineers and operators quickly access decades of research on pipeline technology, safety, and innovation.
By combining process cameras with traditional hydrocarbon dewpoint analysis, engineers can now identify liquid carryover in real time, recover lost NGL revenue, extend equipment life, and enhance pipeline integrity.
Industry experts argue that focusing on safety culture—not just compliance metrics or low bids—is key to long-term performance and risk reduction in contractor selection.
The Pipeline Safety Trust called it the most sweeping initiative since the federal pipeline safety code’s creation in 1970.
The rise of artificial intelligence is fueling record growth in U.S. data center power demand, with gas-fired generation expected to play a critical role. Analysts warn that up to 10 Bcf/d of new natural gas capacity may be needed by 2030 to support AI-driven energy needs.
In a landmark decision, the Texas Supreme Court ruled that produced water from oil and gas operations belongs to the mineral estate unless expressly reserved by the surface owner. The ruling provides clarity for upstream producers and water midstream operators while reshaping future lease negotiations in Texas.
The Chelsea River Crossing project in Boston marked a turning point for micro-tunneling, with contractors overcoming boulders, groundwater challenges, and long drives to achieve several industry firsts in pipeline construction.
Mexico confronts a striking energy paradox: increasingly importing oil and gas despite vast domestic resources. Policy challenges, investment barriers, and regulatory issues prevent development of the nation's own supplies, creating opportunities for LNG exports while maintaining import dependence.
EnerMech has secured a contract from ExxonMobil to deliver a full flowline decommissioning package at the Hoover-Diana development in the Gulf of Mexico. The project marks EnerMech’s first major decommissioning campaign in the region, involving subsea flushing, pigging, and nitrogen operations to safely retire deepwater infrastructure.
In this month’s Editor’s Notebook, Editor-in-Chief Michael Reed examines the latest legal turn for Enbridge’s Line 5 after an appellate court ruling sent the case to the U.S. Supreme Court, where observers expect a more favorable outcome for the pipeline.
Canada is ramping up oil and gas pipeline construction, including the Trans Mountain expansion and Coastal GasLink, to reduce reliance on U.S. markets and expand exports to Asia while strengthening national energy security.
Pipeline expansion is ramping up across North America in 2025, with data centers, AI-driven energy demand, and LNG exports fueling new projects and infrastructure upgrades.
With supportive regulations, favorable geology, and new pipeline rulemaking in progress, the state is attracting industrial CCS investment for both near-site sequestration and broader infrastructure development.
Australia approves a new LNG terminal, BP brings first gas online in Trinidad, and U.S. projects advance from Pennsylvania to Louisiana in this month’s global energy highlights.
