As a low-carbon alternative to conventional natural gas, renewable natural gas (RNG), or biomethane, has the potential to play a useful role in North America’s path towards decarbonisation. RNG is already seeing tremendous growth in North America, where the number of projects has nearly doubled in the last five years. So, what does the future hold?

Sometimes a little added reinforcement is all that’s needed to turn a well-performing coating into a high-performing composite coating. Such physical composite coatings combine two or more substances that together offer performance properties greater than the sum of their parts. The same is true for chemical composite coatings. This article reviews the various types of composite coatings and described how they enable more robust performance by enhancing properties such as corrosion resistance, durability, flexibility and resistance to cathodic disbondment.

With assets installed in remote locations, OCP Ecuador needed a maintenance solution that would enable them to predict and prevent equipment failures before they occurred. Using prescriptive maintenance, the company can now continuously monitor its critical assets for impending failure. In this paper, learn how OCP Ecuador reduced maintenance costs by 25% per year and increased engine overhaul from 16000 to 19200 hours, a 20% improvement in uptime.

External stresses threaten the integrity of oil & gas pipelines and, especially, the external barrier systems that protect pipes from corrosion. Dr. Jeffrey D. Rogozinski, Sherwin-Williams Global Product Director – Fusion-Bonded Epoxy/Pipe, sheds light on a next-generation dual-layer corrosion and abrasion protection technology that not only offers optimal protection for oil and gas pipelines but also saves total applied cost in one robust solution.

Sponsored by Dragos, the Ponemon Institute’s report on the State of Industrial Cybersecurity finds that cultural and technical differences between traditional IT best practices and what is possible in OT increases an organization’s risk for costly cyber incidents – and the average cost to detect, investigate, and remediate an event.
Download the full report now for more about the state of industrial cybersecurity in the United States, including:
- Program maturity of securing operational technology networks across industries.
- What industrial organizations are doing to secure ICS/OT environments.
- OT cybersecurity investment, priorities, and accountability.
- The cause, consequences, and cost of an OT cybersecurity incident.

Preventive and Mitigative (P&M) regulations such as 49 CFR 192.935 for Gas Transmission Pipeline Integrity Management have traditionally focused on physical risks and threats to pipeline assets.
The non-physical risk of organizational failure has not been stressed enough. Yet, this risk is tied to some of the most high-profile and damaging pipeline incidents of the last 20+ years.
Transmission operators can use Pipeline SMS (PSMS / API 1173) as a method to root out organizational failure as part of their P&M program. Download our whitepaper to learn more about:
- PSMS as an Effective Prevention and Mitigation Methodology.
- How API 1173 Addresses Organizational Failure.
- The Value of Executing the Full Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) Cycle.
- The Use of Tools to Achieve Natural Compliance for Prevention & Mitigation.
