Advances in Oil and Gas Storage, Transportation, and Safety

Dear Colleagues,

The application of oil and gas storage and transportation technology in the production process of oil and gas fields can store and transport the oil and gas products and deliver them to users to meet demand. The mode of pipeline transportation of oil and gas is prominent. Combined with the characteristics of long-distance pipeline transportation, automatic control and management is implemented to continuously improve the efficiency of oil and gas storage and transportation. There are many safety risks in oil and gas storage and transportation. Due to the flammable and explosive characteristics of oil and gas, oil and gas leakage accidents during storage and transportation can easily lead to fire and explosion accidents, and even cause human poisoning, resulting in environmental pollution accidents. Therefore, it is very necessary to pay attention to safety management in the process of oil and gas storage and transportation. The key technical measures of oil and gas storage and transportation include technical measures to reduce the evaporation loss of oil and gas, technical measures to prevent the generation of static electricity, etc., to create favourable conditions for the safe storage and transportation. The effective storage and transportation of oil and gas can improve operational safety. In view of the cases of safety accidents in oil and gas storage and transportation in oil and gas field production sites, the causes of accidents are first analyzed. Subsequently, the most effective technical measures are taken to reasonably avoid safety risks, ensure the normal operation of oil and gas storage and transportation, and meet the technical requirements of oil and gas field production and operation management.

In this Special Issue, we welcome contributions concerning recent advances applied to oil and gas storage, transportation, and safety. We invite researchers to forward this information to team members and colleagues who may also be interested in the topic. We look forward to receiving submissions, and we remain at the disposal of scholars to give additionally information.
