Pipeline construction and operations in northern climates face risks and challenges that have evolved over recent years and continue to do so. Changes in the environmental, political, and operational climates are generating more risk than pipeline operators have seen in the past, meaning that the need to quickly adapt is essential, if they wish to continue to thrive.

Pressures in declining commodity pricing and additional legislative and regulation hurdles are adding complexity to the risk profiles of pipeline installations, for both existing and proposed projects. This presentation by Marsh Risk Consulting is designed to document and discuss these risks and pressures.
