13. Experimental and numerical modeling of horizontally-bent buried pipelines crossing fault slip
Abstract The behavior and response of pipelines subjected to slip fault movement is studied by numerical simulations as well as experimental setup. A finite element modeling is also developed via ABAQUS software. In this study, an artificial accelerogram is applied to the system and matched against the response spectrum according to the standard No. 2800 (Ir

14. A Comparative Investigation of the Corrosion Resistance and HIC Suceptibility of API 5L X65 and API 5L X80 Steels
High strength low alloy (HSLA) steels are used for the construction of pipelines for oil and natural gas transportation. For such applications pipelines must exhibit mechanical resistance and resistance to corrosion and hydrogen induced cracking (HIC). API 5L X65 steels are the main materials used for this purpose. However, for economic reasons, the use of s

15. Progressive failure prediction of pinned joint in quasi-isotropic laminates used in pipelines
Abstract To simulate the progressive failure of pinned joint in quasi-isotropic [0/45/-45/90]s glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) composite laminates used in pipeline, 3-D finite element model is employed in the present work. Hashin failure criterion as a progressive damage model associated with Virtual-Crack-Closing-Technique (VCCT) delamination model h

16. Biofilm Formation and Corrosion on Carbon Steel API 5LX60 in Clayey Soil
Corrosion of buried pipelines is a matter of concern to the oil and gas industry since the time when carbon steel began to be widely used in these pipelines for the transportation of fluids. The microbial communities associated with biofilms promote modification in the surrounding environment and may accentuate the degradation of oil and gas pipelines causin

17. Analysis of 3D Planar Laminations in a Welded Section of API 5L X52 Applying the Finite Element Method
Abstract The mechanical behavior of API 5L X52 steel with planar type laminations was studied in the present work. Planar laminations were proposed in the base metal (BM), heat affected zone (HAZ) and welding bead (WB). Three-dimensional finite element (FE) models, kinematic hardening and mechanical properties for BM, HAZ, and WB were activated in the finit

18. An Examination of the Prediction of Hydrate Formation Conditions in the Presence of Thermodynamic Inhibitors
Abstract Gas hydrates are crystalline compounds, solid structures where water traps small guest molecules, typically light gases, in cages formed by hydrogen bonds. They are notorious for causing problems in oil and gas production, transportation and processing. Gas hydrates may form at pressures and temperatures commonly found in natural gas and oil product

19. Corrosion Behavior of API 5L X80 Steel in the Produced Water of Onshore Oil Recovery Facilities
High-strength low-alloy steel is used in pipelines, which transport oil/gas and also produced water in the process of the secondary recovery of oil. This paper investigates the corrosion of X80 steel after immersion in static systems (biotic and abiotic). The corrosion rate, the corrosion morphology and the hardness of the coupons were investigated. The corr

20. The use of Shearography technique to evaluate polymeric composite repairs - case study
ABSTRACT Pipelines are subject to a variety of defects such as wall thickness loss, grooves, dents and holes. To restore the pipe integrity, polymeric composite repairs can be used. The inspection of repaired pipes is of fundamental importance, not only to verify the initial integrity, but also to monitor their state over time. Shearography is a laser optica

21. Design of Ground Penetrating Radar Antenna for Detecting Soil Contamination at L-band Frequencies
Abstract Maintenance of oil pipelines is an issue of great concern for oil companies. Soil contamination is caused by oil leaks from underground pipelines. Ground penetrating radar (GPR) is a rapid and relatively inexpensive technique used for locating and characterizing soil contaminated sites without producing fractures and causing further migration of con

22. AC Induced Corrosion of Underground Steel Pipelines under Cathodic Protection: III. Theoretical Approach with Electrolyte Resistance and Double Layer Capacitance for Mixed Corrosion Kinetics
In this series of papers, AC induced corrosion of steel pipe under cathodic protection was investigated. In this Part III, the most realistic model was devised, i.e., the cathodic current was composed of the reductions of dissolved oxygen partly controlled by diffusion and of the water following the Tafel law. The cathodic protection potential necessary to m

23. Influence of Niobium and Molybdenum on Mechanical Strength and Wear Resistance of Microalloyed Steels
The HSLA (High-Strength Low Alloy) steels are used in the production of pipes, flanges and connectors to build ducts for ore, oil and gas transport. The conventional processes are the rolling or forging. In the transport of ore and heavy oil, the abrasive particles impair the surfaces and reduce the pipelines lifetime. Therefore, besides the mechanical prope

24. Evaluation of MC1R high-throughput nucleotide sequencing data generated by the 1000 Genomes Project
Abstract The advent of next-generation sequencing allows simultaneous processing of several genomic regions/individuals, increasing the availability and accuracy of whole-genome data. However, these new approaches may present some errors and bias due to alignment, genotype calling, and imputation methods. Despite these flaws, data obtained by next-generation
