Identifying Pipe Joints With Low Mechanical Properties
During field hydrostatic tests on some new U.S. pipelines constructed during 2007 and 2008, a small number of pipe joints were detected that had expanded well beyond the dimensional tolerance limits of the pipe manufacturing specification (API Specification 5L).
Bigger Dry Seals for Super-Size LNG Compressors
The increased global demand for liquefied natural gas (LNG) is having a significant impact on companies that both produce and supply equipment to this market, resulting in rapid advances in machine design, capacity and efficiency. In the LNG process, natural gas is converted to liquid form, making the gas easier to store and transport. When the LNG is needed for use, it is regasified and distributed as pipeline natural gas.

Inergy Midstream Carving Gas Storage Niche In Marcellus
As we all know by now, it’s the midstream sector of the natural gas industry that is driving forward much of the activity in America’s energy sector, fed by the tax advantages offered through master limited partnerships.

Coriolis Mass Flowmeters Used To Measure Bulk Condensate In Gas Field
Natural gas production creates a byproduct of natural gas liquids (or NGL), often referred to as “condensate.” The physical properties of condensate vary with the hydrocarbon constituents and differing fluid vapor pressures depending on the deposit at the location from which they are drawn. This constituent variation and the presence of water or natural gas in the flow stream discharge from the separator compromises the integrity of the measurement.
