Pipeline Project

To meet the increasing energy demand, oil and gas pipelines from Myanmar to China have been planned since 2003. After 10 years’ hard work, Myanmar-China Oil and Gas Pipeline Project had been completed by the end of 2013. The project comprises one gas pipeline and one oil pipeline. The gas pipeline with a diameter of 1016 mm and a total length of 1727 km runs through great mountain areas in the southwest of China. The oil pipeline with a diameter of 813 mm and the first phase length of 606 km is laid parallel to the gas pipeline. The challenges of this project are long distant parallel large pipelines, undulant topography with high different elevation, complicated geological condition, vulnerable ecology, etc. This paper presents some design and construction issues concerned in the project, including the route selection in mountain areas, type of crossings and its design, type of ground movements and its design, special construction methods in these areas, etc. New technologies such as GIS-based route optimization, strain-based design, longspan suspension bridges, tunnels through mountains, multiple pipelines laid in narrow or steep areas and monitoring system for seismic and fault movement had been applied to conquer the challenges.

Construction of the Northern Gas Pipeline (NGP) is a case study in safe, professional gas pipeline construction. Beginning with comprehensive and collaborative pre-planning to de-risk the project before construction; through to the holistic safety and wellbeing culture created and nurtured on site, every facet of the project has been subjected to strategic safety thinking, strong safety leadership and uncompromising safety management. And the results speak for themselves: • more than 400000 man hours and more than 280 days of physical construction activity with a total recordable frequency rate of zero (0) – no medical treatment or lost time injuries; • more than 5 million kilometres driven on the project (excluding third party transport) with no significant vehicle incidents; and • more than 53000 pipe joint movements with no dropped pipe. Through comprehensive upfront planning, strategic industry partnering and a relentless focus on safety leadership and management, this high-speed cross-country pipeline project has been successfully constructed through some of the harshest physical locations in Australia and achieved outstanding results in safety, productivity and quality. The construction of the NGP has set new benchmarks in pipeline safety performance and this paper is in recognition of our team, our customer, and the many project partners and suppliers that have helped make this possible.

To improve connectivity and energy security, especially natural gas, Southeast Asian countries, under the cooperation of Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), are trying to build a gas pipeline that stretches from Indonesia to Myanmar. The project is called the Trans ASEAN Gas Pipeline (TAGP) under the ASEAN Plan of Action for Energy Cooperation (APAEC) scheme. However, regional countries are still dealing with their domestic problems, and there are fears that TAGP is detrimental to producer countries, resulting in the delay of this project as much by as four years – from 2020 to 2024. The uncertainty of the TAGP project further emphasizes that there is a tendency for countries not to adhere to the ASEAN forum’s agreements. Especially if it has to be juxtaposed with the Russian Gas Pipeline project which was built to distribute natural gas to Western European countries, TAGP is still far behind. In designing this paper, the authors use qualitative methods through literature studies by referring to the realism approach of International Relations to dissect TAGP problems. Furthermore, the author also feels the need to accommodate the neorealism approach to be used as a supportive approach in looking at the issues of disobedience in regional countries in supporting the TAGP scheme. Also, the authors conducted a brief comparison between TAGP and the Russian Gas Pipeline to be used as a case study analysis material that would later provide answers of why TAGP failed to go as planned.Keywords: realism, neorealism, TAGP, Russian Gas Pipeline
