Pipelines have effectively and efficiently transported large quantities of crude oil, natural gas, and diluted bitumen from production sites (usually remotely located) to refineries and markets. Compared to other transport modes such as rail, truck, and boat, pipelines are safer, more economic, and emit less carbon as they transport cargo across provinces, countries, and continents [Behar and Al-Azem, 2015]. With rapidly growing global demands for energy, oil and gas production has expanded substantially due to major technological advances. This expansion drives the increased need for new pipelines. For example, the U.S. is expected to achieve an average of 12.2 million barrels per day (bpd) with the production of oil, liquefied natural gas (LNG), and condensates, making it the world’s largest producer of combined crude liquids [Cope, 2014]. In Canada, it is forecasted that by 2018, approximately 3.37 million bpd oil sands will be produced [Cope, 2015]. As a result, various ambitious plans have been proposed for new-build and expansions of pipelines to gather oil/gas products for delivery to markets.

Pipe Flow-Friction Factor Calculations with Excel, Course
Several kinds of pipe flow calculations can be made with the Darcy- Weisbach equation and the Moody friction factor. These calculations can be conveniently carried out with an Excel spreadsheet. Many of the calculations require an iterative solution, so they are especially suitable for an Excel spreadsheet solution. This course includes discussion of the Darcy- Weisbach equation and the parameters in the equation along with the U.S.

Introduction to Piping Design
• As per Merriam Webster dictionary , the pipe is a long tube or hollow body for conducting a liquid, gas, or finely divided solid.
• Technically : The pipe Is a beam , which acts as pressure vessel and transfer fluids.

Presentation on Fundamentals of Pipeline Design
➢The amount of fluid flow through the pipeline is one of the first items of information required for design
➢ Different industries use pipeline for different purposes. requirements & types of pipe are different
➢ Petroleum industry & natural gas industry use steel pipe with welded joints.
➢ This allows the pipeline to withstand very high pressure, sometimes above 3000 psig
➢ High pressure allow the use of long pipelines, often more then 1000 miles with only a booster pump or station for each pipeline
➢ Some pipelines are designed with some excess capacity or design so capacity can be increased by the addition of compression or pumping horsepower

Pipe Installation Handbook
Installing fiberglass pipe is easier than installing carbon steel, stainless steel, and lined steel due to its light weight. Learning the proper methods to prepare and make-up bell & spigot joints can help ensure the reliability and long-term performance of your piping system. We offer the TQI Plus (ASME B31.3) Fabrication and Assembly certification program. Qualified Field Service Representatives train fabrication and assembly crews, conduct and supervise
fabrication work, and inspect work in progress. For complete information concerning these training seminars, contact your local distributor or NOV Fiber Glass Systems.

Basic Pipe Stress Analysis Tutorial
It is common practice worldwide for piping designers to route piping by considering mainly space, process and flow constraints (such as pressure drop) and other requirements arising from constructability, operability and reparability. Unfortunately, pipe stress analysis requirements are often not sufficiently considered while routing and supporting piping systems, especially in providing adequate flexibility to absorb expansion/contraction of pipes due to thermal loads. So, when “as designed” piping systems are handed-off to pipe stress engineers for detailed analysis, they soon realize that the systems are “stiff” and suggest routing changes to make the systems more flexible. The piping designers, in turn, make changes to routing and send the revised layout to the pipe stress engineers to check for compliance again. Such “back and forth” design iterations between layout and stress departments continue until a suitable layout and support scheme is arrived at, resulting in significant increase in project execution time, which, in turn, increases project costs. This delay in project execution is further worsened in recent years by increased operating pressures and temperatures in order to increase plant output; increased operating pressures increase pipe wall thicknesses, which, in turn, increase piping stiffnesses further. Such increased operating temperatures applied on “stiffer” systems increase pipe thermal stresses and support loads. So, it is all the more important to make the piping layout flexible at the time of routing.
