Protecting pipelines and platforms with underwater robots
As oil and gas fields in shallower waters are depleted and operators seek to access deeper reserves, underwater robots have ...
On May 4, 2023, the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (the NPRM) concerning natural gas pipeline leak detection and repair. The move ...
Recent pipeline spills, such as ExxonMobil's not-so-minor crude oil spill in Arkansas last month, have raised important questions about the effectiveness of pipeline operators' leak detection systems.
