Oil and gas pipelines are an integral part of any country's energy infrastructure. These large-scale underground infrastructure installations are what enable several industries to function and produce their output while also being the source of power for several thousands of people. Such large-scale projects require proper and secure installation to deliver the oil and gas supply efficiently. Additionally, a pipeline that is not properly secure could leak, causing potential catastrophic incidents that could lead to a safety hazard and environmental damage. This article explores what goes into installing a pipeline on an industrial scale and how to do it safely.  Pipeline Installation Preparations  A fair amount of preparation goes into pipeline installation . Some of the steps are discussed below. 1. Creating a Staging Area - The first step to an underground oil and gas pipeline installation is to manufacture the pipes. For this, the most important thing is to have a constru...

Pipelines are an essential medium to transport oil and gas all over the country. Pipeline installation in India has led to successful transportation of these crucial yet flammable commodities through a vast network of on- and offshore pipelines. Regular inspections and maintenance ensure that any damage due to corrosion or leaks can be repaired in time. Pipelines are used to distribute petroleum products and natural gas liquids and thus their safety is a critical factor to be considered during pipeline installation . To ensure the integrity of the pipelines, regular maintenance and repairs must be performed to ensure optimum performance and avoid system failures.  Regular inspections are required for two reasons: Any defect during the oil or gas pipeline installation that goes undetected can cause deterioration or cause a leak that can be dangerous.  Most of the pipelines run underground. They cross over barriers as well. Though link and end seal s ensure that no outside parti...

Pipeline installation is a procedure that refers to laying out pipelines to help transport various natural resources from the origin of extraction to the desired destination for the resources. The most commonly known methods of pipeline installation are J-lay, S-lay, Tow methods, Reel-lay method, etc.  underground pipeline leak repair   Installation methods where seafloors are found can be quite challenging due to the external contamination factors.  Components used in pipeline installation: There are various types of components used in pipeline installation like pipes of various sizes, fittings like valves and joints, pumps like compressor and in case of gas pipelines blowers are used, booster stations, storage facilities for the pipelines extracts, intake and outlet passages, and other automated control equipment like computers and the communication devices that include cables, microwaves, and satellites. Boost stations are only required in case of a longer layout of p...

Both, gas as well as an oil pipeline in India , are transported through pipelines. They are the main component of the entire infrastructure.  In earlier days, when oil was the only fuel, whiskey barrels were used to store oil. Then horses were used to transport these barrels from wells to railway stations. Then later people started using wood and metal pipelines. As the technology evolved, pipeline installation started happening with cast iron pipelines. The same was later replaced by steel.  In the present scenario, the pipeline can be made from a metallic substance or a non-metallic substance.  Non-Metallic can be classified as composite, rubber, glass, and concrete.  Composite:  Neither oil nor gas pipeline in India are constructed using composite pipelines. These are mainly used for water supply or as drainage pipelines.  The non-metallic composite pipelines though are anti-corrosive but even adding link seal s at the ends the bearing pressure is limi...

Installing pipelines, whether it is a gas pipeline in India or an oil pipeline, is a difficult job. Pipelines go through a number of stages during their construction and installation. Before we go ahead and discuss these stages let’s discuss what are the types of pipelines. What are the 3 types of pipelines?  Gathering - Most natural resources are not immediately ready for use after being extracted. Before they can be used by the consumer, they need to be processed. Pipeline installation companies use gathering pipelines to deliver oil or gas from its source to the plant or storage tank for further processing. As they carry gas or oil that needs to reach the initial treatment facility as soon as possible, these pipelines are relatively short in length. Since extraction of resources and initial processing should be done as quickly as possible, it makes sense to minimize the amount of time between the two. Transportation - Although all pipelines are used to transport natural reso...

Underground pipelines are important to any modern economy. Underground pipeline leak repair must be done whenever required. A pipeline needs to be regularly inspected and maintained throughout its lifespan. The pipeline network provides resources for the entire population of the country.  Here are some tips for underground pipeline leak repair . A pipeline may have to pass through barriers and a link seal helps lock any external particle to enter the main pipeline. Detecting a leak can help pipeline installation companies to control losses human, financial, and environmental.  An underground pipeline may fail due to corrosion. There may be leaks over a period of time in link or end seal . Identifying the defect becomes a vital part of the repair, ensuring the smooth functioning of the pipeline. Gathering data through site study helps to identify possible threats. Choosing the right way for underground pipeline leak repair is important. A repair can be done by the sleeve repa...

Pipelines running under the surface of a city carrying water, gas, or oil need pipeline rehabilitation due to aging or corrosion. The repair is done using trenchless rehabilitation that involves the repair or replacement of underground pipelines that have been damaged. The old ways of underground pipeline leak repair may be impractical and costly. They are also disruptive and cause adverse effects on the environment. Therefore trenchless technology is carried out with very less or no digging at all. It is faster, less disruptive, and eco-friendly. Here is a list of reasons why pipeline installation companies hire people to do the rehabilitation. Structural repair needed  Infiltration to be removed The capacity of the pipeline needs to be increased Damage caused due to aging  Damage caused due to natural disasters Failure due to manufacturing default  Damage caused by excavation Damage caused by corrosion Pipeline installation companies may use casing insulators to pr...
