Oil and Gas Pipeline Network for Industrial Applications

Dear Colleagues,

With the rapid growth of industrial demand, energy demand is also gradually increasing. As an important channel connecting oil and gas production and users, pipeline transportation plays an irreplaceable role. As an important infrastructure to ensure oil and gas supply, oil and gas pipelines are an important support for achieving the revolution of energy production and consumption, and an important energy guarantee for national economic and social development. Therefore, this Topic covers oil and gas pipeline safety assurance technology, oil and gas pipeline operation management technology, and related fields, to improve the level and efficiency of pipeline management and help the high-quality development of the pipeline business. In particular, the topics of interest include but are not limited to the following:

• Application of big data technology in the field of oil and gas pipeline operation status, fault diagnosis, and risk prediction; 
• Application and solutions of artificial intelligence in the field of oil and gas pipelines; 
• Domestic and foreign oil and gas pipeline construction plan and engineering practice; 
• Energy Strategy and oil and gas pipeline development; 
• Hydrogen-doped/pure hydrogen pipeline transportation technology; 
• CO₂ pipeline transportation technology; 
• In situ coal-to-gas gathering and transportation technology; 
• Production and operation of oil and gas pipelines; 
• Optimal operation of oil and gas pipelines; 
• Oil and gas pipeline leak detection and monitoring technology; 
• Oil and gas pipeline digital twin technology and application; 
• City gas pipeline integrity management technology; 
• CFD technology application.
