Hydrogen Pipelines: DNV Launches Phase 2 of H2Pipe Project
, construction, and operation of offshore pipelines to transport hydrogen—either pure or blended with natural gas.DNV’s Hydrogen Forecast to 2050 anticipates that over 50% of hydrogen pipelines globally (and as much as 80% in some regions) will be repurposed from existing natural gas pipeline networks, as it is expected to cost less than 35% of new builds."A large-scale deployment of hydrogen transport through pipelines requires the best possible balance between safety and cost-effectiveness. It is essential to develop more accurate, reliable, and possibly less conservative
Carbon Capture & Storage: A New Lease of Life for Submarine Pipelines?
PosHYdon and H2opZee projects. The first is a pilot aimed at gaining experience in integrating energy systems offshore. It will see a 1MW offshore wind powered electrolyzer installed on the Q13a-A platform offshore the Netherlands sometime next year. Hydrogen produced will be fed into an existing natural gas pipeline into the national grid, mixed in with the natural gas. Learnings from this project will feed into green hydrogen production further offshore, says Neptune, which is already planning the H2opZee demonstration project (an initiative of TKI Wind op Zee, which is supported by the Dutch government
Allseas Suspends Nord Stream 2 Work
Swiss-Dutch company Allseas said last week it had suspended its pipe-laying activities in the Nord Stream 2 Russia-to-Germany natural gas pipeline in anticipation of U.S. President Donald Trump's signing of a defense policy bill."In anticipation of the enactment of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), Allseas has suspended its Nord Stream 2 pipelay activities," the company said in a statement dated Dec. 21."Allseas will proceed, consistent with the legislation's wind down provision and expect guidance comprising of the necessary regulatory, technical and environmental

find and recover it. When the target of interest is buried down more than 6 feet, Randive puts their Fisher PT-1 pinpointing magnetometer to work. This powerful detector finds iron and steel objects up to 16 feet under the bottom. It proved indispensable in locating and tracking a deeply buried natural gas pipeline running under the Hudson River near Manhattan. Ma’agan Marine Ltd. in Israel also uses their underwater detector to find subsea pipelines. Ma’agan is the largest provider of diving services and marine engineering works in the country. In addition to installing, repairing, and
China, Zhouhai, Subsea Natural Gas Pipeline Repaired
CNOOC Limited announce that the Zhuhai Terminal subsea natural gas pipeline, leaking since late 2011, has been recently restored and the terminal has resumed normal production. According to the operators, the leakage point of the pipeline was located in a place faced with severe weather conditions which brought challenges to the routine engineering resources and operational techniques. The restoration team achieved zero failure rates through using innovative construction methods and strengthening quality control and lately completed the restoration work successfully. Zhuhai Terminal, located in
BC Port Vaunted as Future LNG Terminal
location to be the Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) terminal site for the export of natural gas from North East British Columbia to Asia and other markets. LNG pipeline routing to Kitsault has already been proposed by others. An export terminal at Kitsault for LNG operation will have the shortest natural gas pipeline for the projects currently proposed in that region, saving 100 to 300 kilometers of pipeline at a cost savings of 1 to 3 Billion CAD / USD. The infrastructure in place in and around Kitsault will also allow for an accelerated start to the creation of an LNG plant and energy export facility
