Pipeline Integrity

Pipeline Integrity has taken on an entirely new meaning as the gas industry faces the dual challenges of maintaining and expanding existing operations to meet growing global energy demand while reducing cost and methane release. While the gas industry continues to see healthy demand and profits, construction costs are rising, and stricter environmental regulations are on the horizon as pressure to transition to renewable energy grows.

Local distribution companies (LDCs) and midstream companies are the critical link in the energy supply chain. Still, they face the conundrum of economically providing reliable throughput capacity with aging infrastructure and meeting emissions and safety targets. They face the need to increase energy security with new infrastructure construction but remain constrained by regulatory and permitting hurdles and extremely vocal environmental activists’ opposition.

Our mobile energy distribution service aids local gas utilities in maintaining pipeline integrity by providing an additional source of compressed natural gas (CNG) that can be injected into the pipeline during times of high demand, which is commonly referred to as pipeline peak shaving.

Our pipeline integrity support involves procuring gas, delivering it via our compressed tube trailers, and collaborating with utility teams on-site to ensure a smooth supply of gas during maintenance on upstream pipeline infrastructure.

To maintain an uninterrupted feed, we implement a rotating schedule of CNG trailers with capacity ranging from 50 to 540 MCF. Our regulator systems and equipped with heating capabilities, depressurize the gas and prevent it from freezing, enabling a constant pressure supply into the pipeline.

Furthermore, we oversee and manage pipeline remediation projects on-site, while adhering to stringent safety standards to ensure a secure working environment.
