Anti-Tipping System for Greater Control
These advancements form the basis for the company’s new Advanced Liquefaction Architecture (ALA).
STATS Group’s BISEP provides verified, leak-tight double block and bleed pipeline isolation through a single hot tap intervention. Its independently tested seals and monitored zero-energy zone improve safety, maintain operational continuity, and reduce emissions. Proven across hydrocarbons, hydrogen, CO2, and subsea applications, BISEP sets a benchmark for modern pipeline hot tapping and line stopping worldwide.
Pipeline Integrity Intelligence moves beyond periodic inspections by integrating ILI data, hydraulic simulation, SCADA, GIS, maintenance records, and AI into a unified digital pipeline model. This continuous, near real-time view of asset condition helps operators improve decision-making, manage risk proactively, and optimise integrity management throughout the pipeline lifecycle.
Expanded in-house validation helps customers reduce technical risk, accelerate qualification, and build confidence in critical applications.
New analysis finds land and ocean sinks are weakening and carbon prices and coverage fall short of what is needed to protect them, leaving net zero strategies built on unverified foundations.
Alexey Dobrovolskiy, CEO, SPH Engineering, considers a practical approach to methane detection in the gas midstream sector.
Following a record gas demand in 2025, the 2026 global gas report shows a more resilient gas system faces a more demanding energy future.
Roberto Bruschi, Principal Consultant, Energy Systems at DNV, considers the evolving approach needed for pipeline integrity assessments.
