The Gas Pipeline Leak Detection and Repair ruling is currently in the notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) phase. Crucial to this ruling are the proposed performance standards for advanced leak detection programs (§192.763). Here, Business Development Director for gas Bob Truman, P.E. discusses §192.763 and how operators can prepare for it: https://lnkd.in/eaU3C_pf #PHMSA #AdvancedLeakDetection #MethaneReduction #PipelineSafety #GasLeakPrevention

Has your company updated its programs and procedures to comply with the RIN-2 Final Rule – Safety of Gas Transmission Pipelines: Repair Criteria, Integrity Management Improvements, Cathodic Protection, Management of Change, and Other Related Amendments? Pipeline facility operators were required to implement these safety- and environment-improving requirements into their programs and operations by May 24, 2023. With PHMSA’s Limited Enforcement Discretion expiring on February 24, 2024, regulatory agencies will begin scrutinizing your programs and procedures against these requirements. For more information on the RIN-2 requirements or to learn how Integrity Solutions can help bring your company into compliance, reach out to your ISltd® regulatory compliance expert, Andrew Lewis, George Sinclair, or Regan Carriger, or email us at info@isltd.com. #regulatorycompliance #PHMSA #gasindustry #gastransmission #pipelines

In the process of constructing two new onshore #GasProcessing facilities that involved intricate sour gas processing operations, dss+ was enlisted to perform an independent technical review of the facility’s #HSEProgrammes. The review team at dss+ consisted of experts from the industry who examined particular areas of concern, including #SafetyRiskManagement during the design phase, #EmergencyResponseProtocols for potential major accidents, and plans for managing #AirQuality. https://lnkd.in/dTuW3qNZ

We are tracking litigation on a variety of fronts that could play out in the next few months. Bookmark or sync to our midstream calendar, now updated for Q2: https://lnkd.in/eC-F532X The Energy Transfer (ET) pipeline crossing quagmire may extend from the Louisiana bayou to DC’s swamps with a recent petition urging the Commission to assess whether some intrastate gathering lines are actually interstate transmission pipelines. Additionally, we await court rulings on significant cases such as the Good Neighbor Plan and the Line 5 #pipeline litigation. Rulemakings, such as CEQ’s Phase 2 #NEPA regulations, may also be finalized and likely litigated. Lastly, the initiation of pre-filing for the new "DeLa Express Project" in Texas and Louisiana is anticipated at #FERC.

Why we need to implement UGLD (Ultrasonic Gas Leak Detector) for gas detection systems improvement? Referred to HSEUK Research Report RR1123 2017, " There appears to be room for improvement in these gas detection systems. An analysis of the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) Offshore Hydrocarbon Release database (2001-2008) reveals that approximately 36% off major gas releases and 69% of significant gas releases were undetected by gas detectors. (McGillivray and Hare, 2008) This compares with 38% undetected and 44% undetected respectively for the earlier period of 1992-2004 (Thyer, 2005). Moreover, detection rate for condensate or 2-phase releases by gas detection equipment were even lower than those for pure gas releases over the period 1992-2004 (Thyer, 2005)" #MSA #UGLD #FGFD #fixedgasdetection

Did you know that 36% of major offshore hydrocarbon gas leaks go undetected according to HSE's Report? That’s why adopting a multi-layered approach to gas detection is crucial. The Observer® i Ultrasonic Gas Leak Detector helps to safeguard large areas against high-pressure gas leaks.

The latest Pipeline & Gas Journal issue is live, featuring a guest contribution from PipeSense! In anticipation of widespread industry change coming this October, as mandated by the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA), we look at how disruption and regulation can open the door for growth and innovation in pipeline leak detection. From October 1st, 2024, hazardous liquid pipelines transporting single-phase liquid pipelines constructed before October 2019 require effective leak detection systems.
