The Interstate Natural Gas Association of America (INGAA) announced today the publication of its inaugural Climate Report, demonstrating INGAA members’ commitment to addressing climate change and highlighting companies’ actions to-date. [...] Read More
This Joint Industry Project (JIP) was initiated to address several recent pipeline failures that have occurred at girth welds in pipelines that were constructed using API 5L X70 line pipe, and field welded using API 1104 qualified welding [...] Read More
INTRODUCTION The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) has recently proposed a “Draft Integrity Verification Process” (IVP), part of which requires hydrostatic testing to establish the maximum allowable [...] Read More
The objective of this report is to analyze the high-level impact of natural gas transmission pipeline MAOP reconfirmation as outlined in the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) “Safety of Gas Transmission [...] Read More
The intent of this white paper is to provide INGAA members with a framework of recommendations for the next evolution of integrity management based on the management system elements in ASME B31.8, B31.8S and current regulations. The recommendations [...] Read More
One key aspect of any pipeline integrity management and verification program is to identify threats to a pipeline’s integrity. One threat that is receiving more attention in the gas pipeline industry is cyclic pressure induced fatigue. As with [...] Read More
The purpose of this report is to show the range and results of methane studies in the public literature. The results and findings in the studies referenced in this report vary significantly. Scientific methods and uncertainty principles need to be [...] Read More
Pipelines safely, responsibly and reliably deliver abundant natural gas to the American consumer and make the U.S. natural gas production boom possible. In order to build a natural gas pipeline across state lines, a company must receive approval [...] Read More
Hydrostatic pressure testing is just one component of a gas company's pipeline safety program. Public safety is as important to gas providers as consistent and dependable natural gas delivery. A completed hydrostatic pressure testing process is an [...] Read More
Jobs & Economic Benefits of Midstream Infrastructure Development: US Economic Impacts through 2035 Midstream infrastructure – mainline pipelines, laterals, processing plants, gathering lines, compression and storage – is essential to [...] Read More
This study assesses midstream natural gas infrastructure needs through 2035 and includes an extensive update of natural gas, natural gas liquids (NGL) and oil production trends based on projections of drilling activity, the recoverable resource base [...] Read More
Abstract: The increased use of renewable electric power generation, particularly wind, will require electric power systems to provide back-up power to firm the generation from these intermittent sources of electricity. Natural gas-fired [...] Read More
