Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) Awards $196 Million for Natural Gas Pipeline Upgrades “Aging, leak-prone natural gas pipes can be dangerous, drive up energy costs for families, and harm the environment, which is why the Biden-Harris Administration is supporting funds to replace aging pipelines,” U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said in a statement.

The new EU Methane Regulation brings challenges for European DSOs. Don't know where to start? We can help. 👍 You now need to visualize the methane emission situation for all your assets aboveground and underground by: 👉 having a complete inventory 👉 performing field measurements on all assets 👉 delivering compliant reports all while respecting deadlines Quantifying your methane emissions is even a completely new requirement! That’s where our Environmental Service Line and Pipeline Management team of Intero – The Sniffers come in. Our Environmental Service Line executes field measurements on your compressor stations, valve stations, and/or metering stations. Whereas our pipeline inspectors perform leak detection on your buried pipelines on foot and by car, followed by quantification. We are a one-stop shop to help you meet the new EU rules.

On Saturday, rig workers spotted a ‘sheen’ of gas condensate floating on the ocean’s surface in the Gippsland Basin between Victoria and Tasmania. The slick came from a leaking gas pipeline belonging to oil and gas giant Esso that had ruptured during the early stages of being shut down—a process known as decommissioning. This 'sheen' is now travelling through the ocean between Tasmania and Victoria, through the habitat of endangered blue whales and other rare and threatened species. How did it happen? The offshore oil and gas developments in this region of Australia are some of the oldest in the country. Rigs and pipelines are rusting, dangerous, and toxic to the marine environment. Even those being decommissioned—like the pipeline involved in Saturday’s leak—contain traces of petroleum and other hazardous chemicals. Worryingly, Esso wants to use old oil and gas infrastructure in other parts of the Gippsland Basin for carbon dumping projects, also known as carbon capture and storage (CCS). This would involve pumping concentrated carbon dioxide under the ocean floor. If a similar pipeline rupture were to happen on a carbon dumping project, the leaking carbon dioxide would acidify the seawater and do untold damage to shellfish and the local marine ecosystem. Australia’s offshore regulator, NOPSEMA, needs to stop acting as an industry enabler, tighten regulations, and protect our oceans from risky carbon dumping projects. 📷 A gas pipeline dissapearing underwater.

722,000 MT of CO2 buried annually at 4,400 feet earning a cool $130 million a year in 45Q tax credits. And remind me, Warren Buffett (Berkshire) has invested how much in OXY? The IRA had enhanced 45Q incentives via an increase from $50 to $180/tonne for storage of CO2 in saline geologic formations from DAC. Occidental has already struck deals with Amazon, Houston Texans and Astros, and TD Bank for carbon credits related to the tech, all in addition to securing $550 million investment from BlackRock. The Stratos DAC facility of Oxy Low Carbon Ventures can be in operation come mid 2025. Just curious, if this facility and technology work very well... does it ever get turned off after doing its job? https://lnkd.in/eytshAeP

In this article, Matrix’s Gary Winthrop, P.Tech.(Eng.) discusses implications of Western Canadian provinces moving towards more prescribed timelines for decommissioning, assessing and restoring dormant #oilandgas sites. Meeting these timelines begins with a comprehensive strategic process for screening sites within a portfolio to evaluate the degree of environmental risk, stakeholder challenges, and costs and timelines to achieve closure. With this information in place, multi-year execution plans can be developed to maximize liability reduction and avoid costly delays.

We've teamed up with Corrosionpedia on an article all about the impacts of U.S. natural gas infrastructure upgrades on the corrosion industry. With the U.S. government providing $20 billion in funding to modernize pipelines and enhance safety, there are growing opportunities for corrosion mitigation professionals. The article explores: 🔹The current state of aging U.S. pipelines and need for rehabilitation 🔹How pipeline leaks impact climate change, safety and the environment 🔹New rules and measures from PHMSA to reduce emissions 🔹Enhancing routine leak monitoring and boosting pipeline safety systems 🔹The role of innovative corrosion prevention products like GPT's isolation gaskets, monolithic joints and remote monitoring systems The future is bright for those working on these critical pipeline upgrade projects.
