Environmental Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) and Risk Assessment of Crude Oil and Gas Pipelines
View Published Articles →01About This Special Issue
Environmental Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) and Risk Assessment is an extremely useful tool in providing a framework in which to identify the possible hazards and evaluate the risks associated with all crude oil and gas pipelines. The importance is increasing this type of transport for hydrocarbons since energy demand is expanding continuously. ESIA and RA are must building these transport vehicles and preparation of these analyses have paramount importance. Any development in these directions is extremely important.02Meet the Guest Editors

Experience: An Oil Spill from a Crude Oil Pipeline
Issue: Volume 3, Issue 6-1, November 2015Pages: 56-65Received: 25 August 2015Accepted: 26 August 2015Published: 16 October 2015DOI: 10.11648/j.ijema.s.2015030601.17Downloads:Views:Abstract: This paper introduces an oil spill scenes from a crude oil pipeline. The oil spill is presented in a short narrative, however a series of pictures taken from the accident sites were included in the paper. The pictures are in the time order of events during the accident. The ferocity of the events can be seen and followed through pictures. The paper... Show More -
Estimation of Coastal Stability Due to Coastal Structures
Issue: Volume 3, Issue 6-1, November 2015Pages: 47-55Received: 23 August 2015Accepted: 26 August 2015Published: 16 October 2015DOI: 10.11648/j.ijema.s.2015030601.16Downloads:Views:Abstract: The coastal structures are unavoidable for various industrial operations. These are changing hydrodynamics of the marine and its adjacent areas; and are directly influencing environmental conditions of the marine environment. The sedimentation on shorelines is strongly under influence of the new structures. The methodology, which is introduced in t... Show More -
Determination of Risk to Groundwater Aquifers from Crude Oil Pipelines
Issue: Volume 3, Issue 6-1, November 2015Pages: 39-46Received: 24 August 2015Accepted: 25 August 2015Published: 16 October 2015DOI: 10.11648/j.ijema.s.2015030601.15Downloads:Views:Abstract: The pipelines are passing over groundwater aquifers and any oil spills from the pipeline is major threat to the aquifers. The methodology to determine this risk will be introduced; the detailed analysis will be explained and an example is presented. The software used in the calculation is also explained. -
Determination of Land and Marine Containment Sites of Oil Spills from Crude Oil Pipelines
Issue: Volume 3, Issue 6-1, November 2015Pages: 26-38Received: 17 August 2015Accepted: 19 August 2015Published: 16 October 2015DOI: 10.11648/j.ijema.s.2015030601.14Downloads:Views:Abstract: Containment sites are the most important locations for recovering spilled oil on land and marine environments. Analyses for determining of containment sites for crude oil pipelines are explained in detail. Necessary information for designing land and marine containment sites is introduced. The necessary databases for efficient response are also men... Show More -
Response Strategy and Scenarios for Accidents in Crude Oil and Gas Pipelines
Issue: Volume 3, Issue 6-1, November 2015Pages: 18-25Received: 10 August 2015Accepted: 12 August 2015Published: 16 October 2015DOI: 10.11648/j.ijema.s.2015030601.13Downloads:Views:Abstract: This paper introduces response scenarios used for spill training, planning, and real time oil spill response to be utilized for mitigation of spill accidents. A series of scenarios with the response guidelines and strategies are presented during accidents of crude oil and natural gas (NG) and natural gas liquids (NGL) pipelines. -
