Pipeline & Gas Journal’s annual survey of pipeline construction activity provides a unique snapshot of project mileage in development or under construction on a global and regional basis, along with insights into key market drivers influencing midstream investment decisions in the new year.

In this webcast, Editor-in-Chief Michael Reed and Executive Editor Jeff Awalt will share key findings from P&GJ’s 2023 Global Pipeline Construction Report, discuss the outlook, and review some of the key infrastructure projects that are now underway on a region-by-region basis. 

In addition, attendees will have an opportunity to participate in this interactive webcast by submitting questions in real time during a live Q&A session with P&GJ editors.

 Every day, grab (or spot) sampling systems allow oil, gas, and chemical companies around the world to simply and accurately determine the quality and composition of the fluids they process. In many cases, however, opportunities remain to improve the ease-of-use, safety, and maintenance requirements of these system by rethinking aspects of their design. In the case of panels that draw liquid samples into laboratory bottles, changes to valve assembly designs, specifically, can yield benefits for operators and maintenance personnel. In this webinar, learn about what it takes to conduct effective liquid sampling, how aspects of valve assembly design affect system efficacy and lifecycle costs, and what options exist to optimize your grab sampling processes. Expect to walk away better equipped to operate leak-tight, accurate, simple-to-maintain systems.

Protecting your pipeline from corrosion isn't easy. There are numerous methods and solutions available, and each application has its unique challenges. In this webinar, we intend to navigate you through one such dilemma, Flange Isolation Kits or Monolithic joint?

Guiding you through the process of the correct solution selection right up through to post installation, using real world examples and insight from the industry experts on Isolation solutions.

In this webinar you will learn:

• Selection Criteria – How do I decide what will work best?
• Pros and Cons of FIKs vs. MIJs
• Current Trends in Isolation techniques and solutions
• Pre and Post installation practices for MIJ and FIK

 Pipeline operators face challenges associated with eliminating methane emissions during intervention activities such as hot tapping and line isolation for mainline replacement and facility upgrades. This webinar will provide an understanding of how STATS BISEP® double block and bleed isolation technology, can be used to achieve a leak-tight and emission-less isolation. This approach allows operators to complete critical maintenance and repair activities safely without the need to flare or vent methane into the atmosphere.

A case study will be discussed highlighting the use of the BISEP and how it helped an operator to reduce methane emissions on a natural gas pipeline project and support the client to achieve their methane emissions reduction goal.

Clamp-on meters have been around for over 40 years. As a result of improvements in the technology, the last 15 years have seen clamp-on meters working on a full range of gas applications. Many non-fiscal applications that were done by orifice, turbine, and ultrasonic spool meters are being done by clamp-on meters. These meters are cost effective, easy to install, and are proving to be very reliable and accurate. Flexim will give an overview of the technology, show laboratory & field results, and a range of applications where clamp-on meters are being applied.

Gas and pipeline organizations worldwide are improving their workflows by providing field users with geographic information system capabilities to view pipe system data, complete inspections, trace flow, and document new construction. During this presentation, Esri will show examples of how gas and pipeline organizations are using mainstream smart phone and tablet mobile applications to perform a range of workflows, such as exposed pipe inspections, gas outage, and documentation of new pipe construction.
