Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Pipeline science and innovation is a scientific field and area of profession in the field of pipelines that reports on a broad range of topics. The purpose of this Special Issue is to publish original in-depth scientific and technical papers describing the latest research and developments in water distribution and transmission systems, wastewater collection systems, storm sewers, drainage structures, and culverts in the oil and gas industries. One of the most important aspects of this topic is the support of artificial intelligence-based research and projects related to pipeline maintenance, safety, management, and reliability. The target audience of this Special Issue includes scientists and experts in the pipeline industry as well as representatives of specialized scientific commercial organizations and government authorities.
This Special Issue “Pipeline Science and Innovation” will cover the wide spectrum of pipeline sectors, including gathering, transmission, and distribution pipeline systems. The research topics include, but are not limited to, pipeline design and construction, planning and routing, pipeline renewal, trenchless technology, operation and maintenance, automation, supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA), pumps and compressors, flow assurance, defect assessment, numerical modeling, safety, in-line inspection, direct assessment, hydrotesting, pipeline integrity management, risk assessment and management, asset management, environmental aspects, environmental conservation, pipeline economics, and sustainability of pipeline systems.
“Pipeline Science and Innovation” respects the privacy of its authors and readers and complies with applicable laws for the protection of their privacy.
The suitability of submissions to this Special Issue of the journal Sustainability will be determined based on the evaluation by the strong Guest Editor team and submissions will be sought across the world via their respective networks. Relevant topics also include new advanced pipeline design and modeling, in which several environmental and sustainability concerns and aspects are covered through the various projects or research studies.
