Hydrogen production, whether green or blue, presents challenges with custody transfer measurement. This presentation will offer a short discussion on the colors (types) of hydrogen, carbon capture, and sequestration.

See what SICK is doing to solve the measurement challenges associated with these fluids that have been problematic to measure.

As the release of the Pipelines and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration’s (PHMSA) final rule on gas gathering lines nears, this webinar will provide pipeline operators the info they need to prepare and ensure compliance. Ideal for Operations Directors/Managers, Compliance and Regulatory Specialists, and GIS Directors/Managers, this webinar will cover what is known and unknown about the rule, what operators can do to prepare, expectations for Operations & Maintenance (O&M) manual updates and Potential Impact Radius (PIR) calculation requirements, and more. Presented by Integrity Plus by MISTRAS, join this webinar on October 7, 2021 to ensure compliance with the upcoming rule.

Oil and gas pipelines and terminals are increasingly targeted for cyber attacks. Breaches affecting operational assets can have potentially serious safety, environmental or economic impact. An effective operational technology (OT) cybersecurity strategy needs to be put in place to mitigate the threats.

Join the discussion between the Global Marketing Director for Oil and Gas and Senior Offering Manager in Cybersecurity to learn more about:

• Challenges faced by the pipelines and terminals sector
• What peers are doing to improve cyber resilience
• Strategies to consider for a cybersecurity program
• Technologies for efficient cyber operations

2021 has been a challenging year for pipelines. Heightened focus on their environmental impact and a major cyber-attack have led to changing regulations that require operator investment. However, the pressure to reduce costs and increase efficiency remains.

Join Scott Tackett and Sam Miorelli from Siemens Energy as they discuss how developments in rotating equipment and digitalization can reduce emissions and lifecycle costs and improve asset security now and in the future.

Specific topics will include:

· Advances in compressor and gas turbine technologies that optimize costs and reduce methane emissions

· State-of-the-art solutions available to protect pipeline assets against cyber-attack

· Best practices for meeting ever-changing government regulations

In the ever-evolving world of Natural Gas, one thing stays constant: the presence of contaminants and their need for removal. Contaminants such as H2S, H2O, CO2, and O2 are regularly measured in different points in the Natural Gas pipeline and ideally removed prior to reaching residential homes, businesses, and the overall distribution to local and national Natural Gas pipeline network. Biogas is part of a US and worldwide green initiative that yields Biomethane. Often, biomethane is mixed into a Natural Gas pipeline and distributed for use. In this Webcast, we will cover why contaminants are being removed, where they are being removed, and the allowable quantity of each contaminant that is acceptable in the Natural Gas pipelines. Additionally, we will go into detail on types of technologies that are proven in verifying the presence of contaminants and the actions that are taken when they are present above the safety threshold.

Mark Olson and Rick Desaulnier provide an in-depth look at how a system of Ultra-High-Resolution (UHR) tools, backed by experienced and talented Data Analysts, can better detect, identify, classify and size even the most complex corrosion. Explore how ENTEGRA®, its UHR tech platform, CPCM and its global support team are achieving such high first-run success rates while increasing throughput, reducing operator costs, managing risk and delivering a proven ROI. Pits in pits. Pinholes. Hardspots. Corrosion on puddle-welded pipe. Seamweld assessment. Learn how our UHR system can help operators tackle corrosion that was previously considered undetectable. The bottom line: join team ENTEGRA as we illustrate how an investment in ILI can pay huge dividends for you and your operation.

This webcast will introduce piggable in-line isolation tools for double block and monitor pipeline isolation of onshore and offshore pipelines. Unlike traditional Line Stopping activities, piggable isolation tools require no welding or cutting into live lines, leaving no residual fittings or hardware on the pipeline. This webcast will describe high integrity isolation methods that enable piggable pipeline systems to be safely isolated to double block and monitor isolation requirements. Real world examples will be presented to help pipeline owners and operators understand the benefits of this approach for their pipeline integrity and maintenance projects. The session will explain how the piggable tool is tracked, positioned and monitored while in the pipeline, before discussing the hydraulic activation of the locks and seals, including seal testing and verification.
