The Oil Pipeline "Spoolpiece" Problem
OCEANS '80, 1980This paper describes experiments conducted to determine whether a high-frequency transponding sonar could replace existing mechanical procedures which involve the use of saturation diving for the measurement of the mating gap between a submarine oil well-head riser and the production pipeline.

Computation of Oil Pipeline Transients
Journal of the Pipeline Division, 1967The equations of waterhammer, as derived by the method of characteristics, are applied to oil pipeline systems. It is shown that oil pipeline transients may be calculated by these methods, with the aid of a digital computer. Experimental confirmation is given by comparison with field tests.

OIL PIPELINE MARKETS AND OPERATIONS
2005Despite a considerable literature regarding other modes of transportation, little is written about oil pipelines. This is remarkable since oil pipelines move 17% of all intercity ton miles, but also understandable since they have a low public profile and with near total automation, have few employees.

Internally insulated hot-oil pipelines
Applied Energy, 1983Abstract Heavy-fuel oil is usually heated to facilitate its conveyance through pipelines. This paper presents the theoretical reasoning behind the prediction of the optimal thickness of insulant necessary for such a pipeline, so that the least energy running cost can be achieved.

Nine types of risks and nine routes in the Oil Pipeline Network are simulated. Each route has three characteristics: diameter, mean pressure, and distance. For each type of risk and each route, two quantities are simulated: the number of events where that risk type occurs and the typical magnitude of such a risk.

Legal Regulation of Sanitary Protection Zones of Main Oil Pipelines (Oil Product Pipelines)
Energy Law ForumThis scientific and practical article is a part of a larger general study performed by the author in the energy law sphere on the topic of Legal Regulation of Restricted Use Zones (RUZs) of Oil Pipelines and Oil Product Pipelines (the word “oil pipeline” will hereinafter be used in the meaning of “oil pipeline” and “oil product pipeline”). The purposes
