World Pipelines - May 2026
The May 2026 issue of World Pipelines explores the evolving role of pipeline infrastructure in an increasingly complex energy landscape, from hydrogen integration and advanced simulation to regulatory developments and system optimisation. Alongside this, the issue delves into the practical realities of maintaining and extending the life of critical assets, with features on integrity management, inspection technologies, and the rehabilitation of ageing pipelines.
World Pipelines - April 2026
The April 2026 issue of World Pipelines centres on how pipeline infrastructure is evolving to support the energy transition while maintaining integrity and reliability. A key theme is the uncertain trajectory of hydrogen, with the keynote questioning whether the hydrogen economy can realistically deliver without coordinated development of production, transport, and demand. Alongside this, the issue explores the often-overlooked role of pipeline networks as critical, ‘invisible’ infrastructure underpinning regions like Texas, while also addressing practical challenges such as distortion management, crack detection, and extending pipeline lifespan through improved inspection and data-driven approaches. Offshore topics include long-term flexible pipe integrity and the repurposing of pipelines for new uses like hydrogen, while broader industry progress is reflected in IPLOCA’s 60 year milestone and the rapid growth of HDD technologies to meet increasing global project demand.
World Pipelines - March 2026
The March 2026 issue of World Pipelines opens with a keynote focus on CCS pipelines. From there, we move into construction and project delivery, with insights from Saudi Aramco and CRC Evans, alongside features on safer construction practices and smarter backfilling. We also cover pig launchers and traps, modern pressure testing, hot tapping, valves, integrity management, coatings and corrosion mitigation. We close by looking ahead, examining how AI, automation, and digital service strategies are helping operators future-proof critical pipeline infrastructure in an evolving energy landscape.
