Piping
Optimize your insulation to reduce costs
Corrosion under insulation (CUI) is a common problem that is shared by the oil and gas (onshore and offshore), refining, petrochemical, power and manufacturing industries.
Reliability: Consider stainless steel tubing for mechanical seal connections
If, in days past, you have questioned why hard piping was used for mechanical seal flush lines and seal support configurations in process pumps, you are certainly not alone.
Evaluate structural stiffness for piping stress analysis
Hydrocarbon plants use a system of pipes of various sizes, pressures and temperatures. Sometimes these pipes have pulsating flows that result in piping system vibration. These piping systems must be designed for a high degree of reliability, which requires a comprehensive piping stress analysis for thermal, sustained, occasional and dynamic loading conditions.
Ineos sees Forties oil flows back to normal around new year
LONDON (Reuters) — Britain's biggest and most important oil and gas pipeline Forties should resume normal flows around the new year, slightly earlier than previously flagged, its operator Ineos said on Thursday.

Nebraska regulators approve Keystone XL pipeline route
LINCOLN, Nebraska/CALGARY, Alberta (Reuters) — Nebraska regulators approved a route for TransCanada Corp's Keystone XL pipeline through the state on Monday, lifting the last big regulatory obstacle for the long-delayed project that US President Donald Trump wants built.
Kinder Morgan Canada appeals again over Trans Mountain pipeline
CALGARY, Alberta (Reuters) — Kinder Morgan Canada Ltd has again appealed to the country's energy regulator, asking it to set up a process to resolve potential disagreements over local permits for its planned Trans Mountain oil pipeline expansion project.
Kinder Morgan Canada denied expedited appeal for oil pipeline
CALGARY, Alberta (Reuters) — Canada's National Energy Board (NEB) will take until at least Dec. 4 to review Kinder Morgan Canada Ltd's appeal over its Trans Mountain oil pipeline expansion, the regulator said on Tuesday, rejecting the company's proposed "expedited" timeline.
