Recent oil and gas exploration and development projects in Latin America, particularly in offshore basins, have increased the hydrocarbon resources of the region considerably. Geophysical technologies have played a significant role in the growth observed across the region, and those technologies will be crucial in the development of smart energy transition alternatives. That is what inspired this special section, which showcases a variety of technology applications, project scopes, scales, depths of investigation, and techniques, representing the diverse solutions required to tackle subsurface challenges in three major growth geographies: the Brazilian presalt, the Caribbean offshore, and the Gulf of Mexico.

Incidents associated with geohazards involving oil and gas pipelines can be avoided in most cases if there is an adequate program for monitoring pipelines, rights of way and triggering agents aimed at prevention. Knowledge about how to manage geohazards is currently dispersed in the operators’ experiences, and it is necessary to compile a guide that will facilitate the selection of the appropriate technology for monitoring pipelines, rights of way and triggering agents. This document explains the development of a project of the Regional Association of Oil, Gas and Biofuels Sector Companies in Latin America and the Caribbean – ARPEL, the deliverable of which will be a practical technical guide for companies operating in Latin America and the Caribbean for which geohazards represent one of the greatest risks to the integrity of oil and gas pipelines.

Abstract Since 2004, the Geotechnical Professional Team (EPGEO) from the Regional Association of Oil and Gas Companies in Latin America and the Caribbean (Asociación Regional de Empresas de Petróleo y Gas Natural en Latinoamérica y el Caribe, ARPEL) has been working on a knowledge management-related project for the Oil & Gas industry, consisting in the creation of three technical guides on Pipeline Integrity Management given the occurrence of geohazards in Hydrocarbon Transportation Systems. This initiative comprises the creation of 3 guides related to: i) Guide 1: Monitoring Geohazards for Pipeline Integrity, ii) Guide 2: Geotechnical Mitigation Works in Pipelines, iii) Guide 3: Geotechnical Risk in Pipelines. The EPGEO published Guide 1 in 2016 and made a presentation at the 2017 IPG (IPG2017-2538), while Guide 2 will be completed by 2021. Guide 3 will be created in 2021–2023. This document shows the methodology and contents for preparing the first two guides, focusing on Guide 2, which comprises different alternatives, analyses and technical solutions to the occurrence of geohazards that might affect the integrity of a pipeline transportation system.
