Here in the UK, last Sunday (27 October 2024) the clocks were set back an hour, marking the end of British Summer Time. Although this meant an extra hour in bed (result!), it also signified the approaching colder, darker days of the winter months. Much like how we prepare ourselves for the changing seasons and temperature (though not as drastic as other parts of the world), pipeliners' also have to be ready to manage and maintain pipeline integrity in the face of harsh and challenging climates. To shed further light on the topic, here is a roundup of some articles published in World Pipelines that focus on pipelines in extreme environments. Rising to challenges in the North Sea, TSC Subsea: https://lnkd.in/euh9hncb A challenging pullback operation, Bonatti: https://lnkd.in/eWk53CEh Protecting lives on pipeline sites, RMI: https://lnkd.in/eq526HBH Advancing integrity through NDT, ASNT (The American Society for Nondestructive Testing): https://lnkd.in/eMZz2YY3 A collaborative effort for CGL, Michels Canada: https://lnkd.in/ehvkUJwe A pipeline journey across the Danube River, HDI - HORIZONTAL DRILLING INTERNATIONAL: https://lnkd.in/e-ggS2aq Coating challenges in cold environments, Polyguard Products, Inc.: https://lnkd.in/es3jfntx  [see image below] ❄ In a sneak peak of our Special Integrity issue [coming soon] Sherwin-Williams Protective & Marine Coatings discusses pipeline coating in extreme cold and the benefit of using low-application temperature fusion-bonded epoxy coatings. ❄ Subscribe to World Pipelines here, so you don't miss it! ➡️ https://lnkd.in/dpiPtc9 #WorldPipelines #oilandgas #midstream #pipelines

Manuel Alonso and Hans Overdijkink, Intero Integrity, Netherlands, present an innovative pipeline inspection technique for a challenging manifold inspection, in the October issue of World Pipelines. “Intero Integrity Services B.V. was tasked with inspecting a 36 in. pipeline in 2023, which included a challenging manifold inspection. The challenge stemmed from a manifold featuring six large-diameter take-offs, posing a significant obstacle for standard bi-directional pigs and inspection tools.” See the full story here  ➡️ https://lnkd.in/eSBcZ2JR   Subscribe to World Pipelines (for free) ➡️ https://lnkd.in/dpiPtc9   #WorldPipelines #pipelines #midstream #oilandgas #inspection #pipelinepigging

In the October issue of World Pipelines, Paul Chittenden, Subsea Inspection Technology Advisor, TSC Subsea, UK, describes carrying out an internal rigid riser inspection for bp. “bp required an inspection of one of its risers. Initially installed as a spare, it had never been operational. As part of a new development project, bp needed to ensure the riser’s integrity before commissioning it for service. bp required a comprehensive internal inspection to confirm the riser’s suitability.” Read the case study here ➡️ https://lnkd.in/eHwx3KHM Subscribe to World Pipelines (for free) ➡️ https://lnkd.in/dpiPtc9   #WorldPipelines #pipelines #midstream #oilandgas #inspection #subsea
