Possibilities for aboveground pipelines [paper] / Peter Tuft [and] Russell Schulz

Library — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 03:57:55 +0000

“Installing gas pipelines aboveground may have a number of benefits depending on the circumstances of individual projects – for example to:

Reduce capital cost
Facilitate development of stranded reserves (which might otherwise be uneconomic)
Reduce environmental impact (reduced ground disturbance and right-of-way width)
Facilitate pipeline abandonment for fields of short life, including pipe reclamation and reuse.”

Stress and strain loading design clarifications and improvements and consequences of an increase in design factor/ P. L. Kempster

Wed, 29 Jul 2009 05:08:17 +0000

In this presentation, Kempster outlines the key amendments to the AS2885 standard in relation to stress and strain loading:

1. The section on stress and strain has been

rewritten.

2. Clear distinction between restrained and

unrestrained lines has been made.

3. A basis for determining and limiting stresses

from external pressure has been included.

4. All relevant formulae have been included.

5. A full notation and definition of all terminology

has been included.

6. All stress limits have been defined and

summarised in a table.

Safety and risk assessment location class and land planning / Mike Ebdon, Bala Balendran [and] Khalil Idhayid

Wed, 29 Jul 2009 04:49:35 +0000

This presentation concludes that the standard updates the location classes; that there are no rupture and limits on energy release rate, and that the risk assessment process has been aligned with planning and approval processes.
