The October 2026 issue of World Pipelines explores pipeline activity across the MENA region alongside the technologies and techniques keeping pipelines protected, operational and moving: from coatings, isolation, and pressure testing, to pigging, subsea inspection, HDD and trenchless construction.
The September 2026 issue of World Pipelines looks at the technologies, data and engineering practices helping operators understand, protect and optimise pipeline assets throughout their operating lives. Alongside our North American regional report, the issue explores advances in pipeline integrity and inspection, subsea monitoring, leak and emissions detection, cathodic protection, midstream automation and intelligent infrastructure.
The Americas 2026 issue of World Pipelines explores the pipeline infrastructure supporting energy security and economic growth across the region. From Latin America's natural gas potential and North America's expanding gas network, to pipeline integrity, automation and asset maintenance, this special issue examines the technologies, investment and expertise helping operators build, maintain and optimise the systems that connect supply with demand.
The July 2026 issue of World Pipelines explores the technologies, skills and strategies helping operators maintain safe, reliable and efficient pipeline systems. From South America's expanding energy infrastructure, and advances in leak detection, monitoring and HDD, to pipeline intervention, reliability engineering, coatings, workforce development and asset integrity, our contributors examine how the industry is reducing risk, improving performance and preparing for future growth.
The June 2026 issue of World Pipelines focuses on resilience, innovation, and the future of pipeline operations. As operators face growing cyber threats, evolving regulatory demands, and the need to transport new energy products, this edition highlights the technologies and approaches driving safer, smarter, and more efficient infrastructure. Featuring expert perspectives on integrity management, inspection, surveillance, AI, drones, hydrogen, and CCUS, the issue also explores the wider economic and geopolitical forces influencing the global pipeline sector.
The May 2026 issue of World Pipelines explores the evolving role of pipeline infrastructure in an increasingly complex energy landscape, from hydrogen integration and advanced simulation to regulatory developments and system optimisation. Alongside this, the issue delves into the practical realities of maintaining and extending the life of critical assets, with features on integrity management, inspection technologies, and the rehabilitation of ageing pipelines.
The April 2026 issue of World Pipelines centres on how pipeline infrastructure is evolving to support the energy transition while maintaining integrity and reliability. A key theme is the uncertain trajectory of hydrogen, with the keynote questioning whether the hydrogen economy can realistically deliver without coordinated development of production, transport, and demand. Alongside this, the issue explores the often-overlooked role of pipeline networks as critical, ‘invisible’ infrastructure underpinning regions like Texas, while also addressing practical challenges such as distortion management, crack detection, and extending pipeline lifespan through improved inspection and data-driven approaches. Offshore topics include long-term flexible pipe integrity and the repurposing of pipelines for new uses like hydrogen, while broader industry progress is reflected in IPLOCA’s 60 year milestone and the rapid growth of HDD technologies to meet increasing global project demand.
The March 2026 issue of World Pipelines opens with a keynote focus on CCS pipelines. From there, we move into construction and project delivery, with insights from Saudi Aramco and CRC Evans, alongside features on safer construction practices and smarter backfilling. We also cover pig launchers and traps, modern pressure testing, hot tapping, valves, integrity management, coatings and corrosion mitigation. We close by looking ahead, examining how AI, automation, and digital service strategies are helping operators future-proof critical pipeline infrastructure in an evolving energy landscape.
The February 2026 issue of World Pipelines covers cybersecurity and software architectures, integrity management, corrosion prevention, composite repairs, and advanced monitoring. Technical articles explore how digital tools, smarter diagnostics, and engineering best practice are reshaping pipeline operations. With contributions spanning laboratory innovation, materials science, lifting and construction safety, and fenceline detection, the issue reflects the industry’s growing emphasis on risk reduction, operational confidence, and end-to-end infrastructure protection.
The January 2026 issue of World Pipelines explores how pipelines are adapting to a period of heightened delivery pressure, regulatory scrutiny, and shifting global energy dynamics. From crack detection and advanced inspection technologies to corrosion protection, valve innovation, and compliance-led operational efficiency, this issue highlights the tools and strategies helping operators maintain integrity without compromising performance. Features from RBAC, NDT Global, FORCE Technology, STATS Group, VIAVI, Emerson, ABB, and others examine how modelling, monitoring, and smarter system design are reshaping pipeline decision-making across inspection, repair, safety, and lifecycle management.
The December 2025 issue of World Pipelines explores how the global pipeline sector is adapting to the energy transition, with a strong focus on CCS readiness, digital transformation, integrity management, and operational resilience. Articles span Asia’s CCS pipeline build-out, energy market dynamics, high-precision repair and integrity solutions, repurposing existing pipelines for CO2 service, cybersecurity, autonomous operations, and the shift from traditional to cloud-based training and competency frameworks.
The November 2025 issue of World Pipelines captures a midstream industry in flux: adapting to the digital revolution, tightening security postures, and building the infrastructure to support tomorrow’s energy systems. We feature articles on US midstream policy changes, cybersecurity, electrical isolation challenges in complex infrastructure corridors, and subsea resilience.
