The definitive onshore pipelines report
This second edition of the World Onshore Pipelines Market Report, presents a comprehensive view of the historic market from 2004-2008 and forecast period from 2009-2013. A detailed database of projects combined with an involved modeling and forecasting process result in a unique view of the market in length and value terms.
The report also reviews all aspects of onshore oil & gas pipelines from design, materials, techniques and components through to construction, operations and maintenance.
Pipeline technologies
The World Onshore Pipeline Market Report 2009-2013 is geared to the needs of the executive and assumes no previous reader knowledge of the subject area. It describes pipeline design and how routes are selected, safety considerations, sizing, flow & pressure control and storage. The choice of pipeline materials is discussed and major pipeline components are reviewed from coatings and fittings to pumps and compressors. Construction techniques and associated issues are explained from stringing, welding and trenching to backfilling, cleaning, sizing, quality control and testing. Operations and maintenance content includes a review of control, integrity, corrosion protection and repairs.
The market
The onshore pipelines market modelling process is based on actual project data and involves a thorough independent scrutiny of each of the prospects on our database, then examines the market drivers and prospects. Because of our project-based evaluation, some prospects have been moved backwards by one or more years. This ‘slippage’ of projects allows our forecasts to reflect the delays and schedule overruns that can occur in the industry.
Expenditure is broken down into the main spend areas of land & right of way, line pipe & fittings, pipeline construction, pump station & equipment and other (including delivery systems, communications, vehicles etc.)
