Session 09: OIL, GAS AND WATER PIPELINES
Pipelines remain the safest, most efficient and economical way to transport energy resources. Today, there are more than 3,560,671 km of pipelines in 124 countries throughout the world supporting the not only the development of resources, but manufacturing centers, and a better, more comfortable life for consumers. Building, maintaining and confirming the integrity of these systems requires a constant drive for excellence to ensure the safety of those who live and work near the systems as well as protection of the environment.
The commitment to ensure the safe operations of pipeline is stronger than ever. Operators continue to learn from recent incidents as well as benefit from evolving technology. Pipeline companies are introducing new initiatives to:
• Educate key stakeholders on their role in pipeline safety
• Drive underground damage prevention
• Adopt safety management systems
• Utilize integrity management to evaluate the condition of the pipe and address anomalies, if necessary
• Monitor operations, capturing data that assists with operational decisions to ensure the safety of the system
The sessions focusing on oil, gas and water pipelines seeks to highlight the efforts by operators to ensure the safety of their systems, and the technology and processes being utilized.
