Hydrocarbon Processing - June 2022 - GP-3

EDITORIAL COMMENT
CONTENTS
Modern society would not be possible
without the use of pipelines to transport
natural gas, crude oil and finished products
to demand centers. These products
provide much-needed feedstocks for
processing operations, as well as fuels for
transportation, heating and electricity.
The need for additional pipeline sysLee

tems is imperative, especially with growing
economies in many different parts of
the world-demand for heating, electricity
and cooking are leading to a significantly
higher demand for natural gas.
To satisfy future demand, new natural gas pipelines systems
are being built to transport this commodity from import
centers or domestic production areas to demand centers. Presently,
Gulf Energy Information's Global Energy Infrastructure
database is tracking more than 430 active natural gas pipeline
projects around the world. These systems represent tens of
thousands of miles of pipelines and constitute hundreds of
billions of dollars in capital investments.
The increased use of natural gas is also providing countries
around the world with new options to decarbonize various industries.
Many nations are actively pursuing low-carbon initiatives
to reach future low- and net-zero economies. Increasing
natural gas in a country's total energy mix only helps on this
pathway to lower carbon emissions.
Since the use of natural gas pipelines is a crucial part of
modern societies, Gas Processing & LNG has devoted this issue's
Special Focus section to new technologies that can enhance
pipeline operations. GP
