There is a substantial market for pipeline security technology in both oil-producing and oil-consuming regions in the world. Depending on the location and age of the pipeline system, however, the required features of monitoring systems for asset integrity and pipeline defects differ and fall into different market segments. In poor regions, the main threat to pipeline systems is theft. A damaging event can happen in any part of the pipeline which is often several hundreds of kilometers long. In this case, technology is needed which can detect minimal acoustic emissions over long distances. In order to meet the logistic and economic requirements of these regions, it is important to reduce the amount of monitoring stations.

Pipeline integrity management is a complex process involving people, assets, procedures, data gathering, analysis and commercial consideration in terms of production, operations and maintenance costs. The primary objective of an integrity program is to maintain the pipeline in a fitness-for-purpose condition and in a safe and cost-effective manner. Standards and codes of practice are available which provide clear guidance for the practical implementation of pipeline integrity management in a logical and consistent manner. Today, however, vast amounts of information are generated during the integrity management process and software tools become a necessity to aid the engineer in its practical implementation.

Refineries and gas processing plants use glycol to dehydrate oil and gas, reducing the amount of water to less than 0.5%. Once the glycol has dehydrated the hydrocarbon the glycol is 'rich' with water and hydrocarbon. In order to reuse the glycol, the water and hydrocarbons are removed in a regeneration process. Normally, a laboratory analysis procedure is used to determine the water and hydrocarbon content in the 'lean' glycol. The laboratory procedure for hydrocarbons is lengthy and has a number of steps that can contribute to non-repeatable answers. A repeatable, quick and easy field method with field analyzer is needed to provide confident results without delay.

SAFETY CONCERNS DRIVE POSITIVE CHANGE Safety issues have always been a major concern in the oil business, but over the last decade attention to Health, Safety, and Environment issues (HSE) have become increasingly prominent worldwide. Companies take affirmative action, and legislation reflects the widespread agreement that safety - both personal and environmental - must be a prime consideration. Already, many companies have adopted new technologies and processes to eliminate hazards. The BLABO® system from Oreco is one example of such technology. ENGINEERED FOR MAXIMUM SAFETY ON AN ONGOING BASIS Even among those who deliver the safer options, changes happen regularly.

Oreco, best known in the industry for its BLABO® and MoClean(c) systems for automated tank cleaning, now expand their product offering. The Oreco NitroGen™ system for on-site gas generation can now be supplied independently, in standard or customised configurations to suit a wide variety of upstream/downstream applications within the oil and gas industry. Mr Michael Meyer, Managing Director at Oreco maintains: "We use and supply the NitroGen system ourselves for tank blanketing purposes. Our experience tells us that having your own on-site, on-demand supply of Nitrogen has many advantages - you become independent of suppliers, never run out of nitrogen, get it in exactly the quantity and quality you need at the push of a button, and so on - and so we thought we would share those advantages with the rest of the industry.

Six Tranter PHE heat exchangers have just completed their third year of flawless service after being installed at the world's most modern plant producing petroleum jelly, which is widely used in the cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries. Fuchs Lubricants has particularly stringent specifications for the equipment, which Tranter PHE was easily able to accommodate using its GC-26 heat exchangers, utilised during the final processing stage at the processing plant in Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent. To maintain the jelly in a liquid state, process line temperatures are kept between 90 - 100°C, and the Tranter units use a co-current flow of water at 15 - 25°C to cool the liquid jelly from 100°C to 80°C.

International Fuel Technology has received the prestigious 'Innovation in Fuel Technology' award given annually by the Institute of Transport Management.

International Fuel Technology (IFT) (OTCBB: IFUE) announced that independent test laboratory and field trial results clearly demonstrated that use of DiesoLIFTTM 10 with a B-20 bio-diesel fuel blend increased combustion performance and restored the lost power and fuel economy associated with bio-diesel fuel use. Bio-diesel is a renewable energy source that also reduces harmful emissions. However, a major drawback to bio-diesel is its lower energy content compared to diesel fuel. This translates into reduced power and fuel economy for end users of bio-diesel. IFT has completed a series of independent laboratory test at MI Technology in the UK The most recent set of tests focused on the impact that DiesoLIFTTM 10 has on the power output produced in a rail engine using a B-20 bio-diesel fuel blend.

As the North Sea reserves around the UK are being depleted the country must look for alternative sources of gas to supply both households and industry. The new supply sources are coming from Russia, Norway and also pipelines from Europe. But one of the major sources of gas (over 23% by 2012) for the UK is set to be the new South Hook and Dragon LNG terminals in Milford Haven, West Wales. These gas projects are now nearing completion and will provide gas from the Middle East via LNG tankers to the gas grid. One of the problems with this was that the pipelines connecting this area of Wales with the nationwide UK gas grid were not large enough.

The PNG LNG project (Papua New Guinea Liquefied Natural Gas) is a new gas project which is being championed by ExxonMobil to maximise the advantage from three large gas discoveries in the southern and western highlands of PNG. The new gas discoveries are the Hides, Angore and Juha gas fields that are likely to have reserves approaching 3-4 trillion ft³. The three fields will supply gas for the Asian market via a pipeline to a two-train LNG facility, which will be constructed near Port Moresby. "PNG LNG is a new gas project, which is being championed by ExxonMobil." It is believed that there could be a further two trillion cubic feet of gas or 400 million barrels of oil equivalent waiting to be discovered in PNG and this could require a phase two development of a third LNG train in the future.

The world price of energy is increasing constantly and Map Ta Phut (220km southeast of Bangkok) is an example of an LNG regasification facility being built by a country hedging its bets (not wanting to be left behind in the rush for natural gas). "The demand for liquid natural gas and, in turn, for new LNG ports is rising rapidly." The project is being developed by PTT LNG Company Ltd (PTTLNG), a subsidiary of PTT Thai National Petro Chemical Company. The demand for liquid natural gas and, in turn, for new LNG ports is rising rapidly. In addition the facility is being constructed near to the Map Ta Phut industrial complex where a number of industries are setting up plants that may require natural gas feedstock.
