About this webinar
With investment in carbon capture and storage (CCS) and hydrogen accelerating, there is a growing focus on how existing pipeline infrastructure can be repurposed for CO2 and hydrogen transportation. Therefore, the requirement for isolation and intervention technology to safely and efficiently isolate these pipelines for repair, maintenance and modifications is increasingly important.
STATS is the only company in the world with an extensive track record of providing hot tapped isolation of high-pressure CO2 pipelines, operating at up to 138 bar. Isolating liquid CO2 pipelines has many challenges and project success requires the careful control of CO2 phase-change during venting, and the appropriate selection of steel and elastomer materials to accommodate CO2 service.
STATS Group presents a case study focusing on the world’s first, leak-tight double block and bleed isolation of a high-pressure CO2 pipeline system in New Mexico, US, and how the many challenges faced with isolating liquid CO2 were overcome.
STATS Group
STATS Group are market leaders in the supply of pressurised pipeline isolation, hot tapping and plugging services to the global oil, gas and petrochemical industries. STATS DNV GL type approved isolation tools provide leak-tight double block and bleed isolation that enables safe and efficient maintenance and repair of onshore, topsides and subsea pipeline infrastructure.
Their Process Plant Solutions offer hot-work barriers and localised hydrostatic test tools to verifying the integrity of welds or fittings, reducing system downtime, minimising environmental impact and increasing worksite safety. Mechanical pipe connectors replace the need for welding, significantly reducing expenditure and associated risks with hot-work.
