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.

Southeast Asian Countries

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

Game Changer

This research is about the acute energy crisis being faced by Pakistan since decades. Energy crisis has exploited Pakistan economically, socially, domestically and internationally. As, gas is the cheapest source of energy production so IP and TAPI gas pipelines projects are of greatest significance for Pakistan and for South Asian and Central Asian regions, as well. Qualitative research method is used to conduct this research. This study will explain the history and current situation of IP and TAPI gas pipelines projects, along its feasibility aspects. This research will analyze that how IP and TAPI gas pipeline projects is valuable for Pakistan’s economy and to overcome energy crisis within Pakistan and within the region. Moreover, TAPI and IP gas pipeline project will prove to be a game changer as it has vast geo-strategic implication for the Central Asian states. TAPI gas pipeline project will become a source of energy transfer and will able to maintain cordial relations within Pakistan and India. These pipelines will become a major source of regional integration, economic interdependence and mutual cooperation.

The paper presents a complete risk assessment system of urban natural gas network from seven modules. Pipeline hazard scenarios are analyzed and the reasons for seven modules risk assessment system model are presented. Based on objective data of various pipeline sections, the assessment system also allows sections of pipeline to be ranked into a risk hierarchy by using advanced scientific mathematical treatment methods. The system is displayed in geographic information system (GIS) platform, in order to implement data resource sharing and visualization of assessment results. Therefore, the dynamic and safety management of gas pipeline network is achieved and the safe and reliable operation of urban gas pipeline network can be ensured. An application based on a real case study was undertaken so that the effectiveness of the assessment system could be verified.
