Minimize GHG emissions (methane) from compressor stations transporting natural gas through pipelines

12/1/2024

Compressor stations for transporting natural gas can be the source of considerable greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (methane emissions) if not controlled. Oil and gas companies along the natural gas supply chain are under pressure to reduce GHG emissions. This article details the various sources of such emissions and the options available to control and mitigate them.

Case Study: Providing a proactive risk management approach for rupture mitigation valves

12/1/2024

U.S. federal natural gas pipeline regulation 49 CFR 192.935(c) requires that operators perform a risk analysis to determine where the use of rupture mitigation valves (RMVs), such as remote-controlled valves and automatic shutoff valves, may be efficient to add protection to high consequence areas.

Svanehøj partners with Soudotec to enhance safety in Africa’s fast-growing LPG sector
