Northern Pipeline Projects Ltd.(NPPL) was incorporated in Alberta in 2001 by the founding and current shareholders : the Pipe Line Contractors Association of Canada(PLCAC) ;the United Association of Journeymen and Apprentices of the Plumbing and Pipefitting Industry of the United States and Canada(UA) ;the International Union of Operating Engineers(IUOE) ;the Laborers’ International Union of North America(LIUNA) ;and Teamsters Canada(Teamsters). From its beginnings, NPPL has been proactive with a recognition that a new approach would be helpful in positioning its shareholders in Canada's north where there was an anticipation of extensive opportunities and a population with minimal if any experience with pipeline construction. NPPL has and continues to work with northern decision makers to identify the jobs and business opportunities that will result once there has been a commitment to build mainline pipelines in the Northwest Territories and Yukon Territories. It also makes available its shareholders’ expertise in regard to training programs so that northern people have every chance to maximize their involvement in the pipeline construction process.

CONT

The Proponents pointed out that, since the Norman Wells Oil Pipeline was designed, advances have been made in industry pipeline codes, pipe-soil geothermal analysis tools, steel making, welding, non-destructive examination technologies and in-line inspection tools. In addition, there has been worldwide experience with other strain-based designed pipelines, such as high-pressure, high-temperature offshore pipelines and pipelines in seismically active areas. The Proponents noted that they had taken advantage of this information in designing the Project's pipelines in accordance with current industry practice for strain-based design.

Key term(s)
  • strain based design

French

Domaine(s)
  • Ingénierie
  • Calcul, tolérances et modulation (Construction)
  • Canalisations à grande distance
OBS

Un défi particulier pour la recherche et le développement concerne les exigences liées à la pose de conduites dans des régions dont le sol est instable ou a tendance à bouger en raison, par exemple, de tremblements de terre ou du gel. Pour ces situations, un nouveau concept, nommé «Strain Based Design» est appliqué : il garantit une grande aptitude des aciers à la déformation.

CONT

... it is common for pipelines in northern settings to experience ditch settlement, and this is expected along the pipeline right-of-way in permafrost and organic terrain. Based on the experience of other northern pipeline projects, local settlement of the pipeline ditch immediately following construction can be greater than general right-of-way settlement.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Forage des puits de pétrole
  • Sondage et forage (Construction)
CONT

[...] il est courant pour les pipelines des milieux environnants nordiques de présenter un tassement de tranchée, et on s'attend à cela le long de l'emprise du pipeline dans le pergélisol et le terrain organique. Selon l'expérience d'autres projets de pipelines nordiques, le tassement local de la tranchée du pipeline immédiatement suivant sa construction peut être supérieur au tassement général de l'emprise.

Husky Energy’s midstream operations reflect an extensive portfolio of assets, strategically situated throughout Western Canada, and linked to key transportation systems and markets across North America. Husky established new records in earnings and cash flow contribution from this segment during 2001 by marketing natural gas, crude oil, natural gas liquids and sulphur. Optimizing midstream potential is aided by the extensive heavy oil pipeline infrastructure and heavy oil processing owned and operated by Husky primarily in the bitumen corridor.

OBS

midstream sector: between the "upstream sector" and "downstream sector" of the oil industry.

The construction of the Maghreb-Europe gas pipeline is one of the most promising projects carried out as part of the Maghreb-Europe partnership. This project is considered as a physical link between the Maghreb and Europe pending the fixed link between Tangiers and the Rock of Gibraltar. The Maghreb-Europe gas pipeline which was dedicated on November 8, 1996 will link the Hass R’mel field in Algeria with Cordoba, in Andalusia through Morocco. It will service in a first stage the Spanish, Portuguese and Moroccan markets, then the French and German ones with an expected increase by 2000. It will supply 1, 500 million cubic meters of gas to Morocco.

CONT

In 1996 the Maghreb-Europe gas pipeline, a huge transnational energy infrastructure, entered into operation, configuring a new route for natural gas from the Algerian gas fields to the European markets. The pipeline, of around 1,400 km in length and 48 inches in diameter, connects the Hassi R’Mel deposits to the Spanish gas pipeline network in Cordoba. The gas pipeline is 48 inches in diameter in its 530 km course through Algeria, 540 km through Morocco and the 45 km stretch through the Straits of Gibraltar in which there are two lines of 22 inches in diameter each.

There have been no projects to expand California's intrastate pipeline infrastructure over the past several years. As a result, the state's retrieval capabilities were limited and excess natural was left "stranded" at the interstate pipeline systems. These bottlenecks restricted the ability of gas utilities to efficiently deliver natural gas from the interstate pipeline to their customers.
