World Pipelines - May 2026
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.£30.00
World Pipelines - April 2026
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.£30.00
World Pipelines - March 2026
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.£30.00
World Pipelines - February 2026
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.£30.00
World Pipelines - January 2026
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.£30.00
World Pipelines - December 2025
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.
World Pipelines - November 2025
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.Plus World Pipelines Integrity 2025 supplement
World Pipelines - October 2025
In the October 2025 issue of World Pipelines we publish articles on: integrity management plans and the need for accurate material property verification; leak detection for unloading pipelines; working with smaller integrity budgets; building climate resilience, and much more. The issue also features insight into engineering excellence for the midstream sector, and two reports on pipelines in the MENA region.
World Pipelines - September 2025
In the September 2025 issue of World Pipelines we publish articles on: offshore pipelines (materials, safety, and hydrotesting); inspection for repurposed pipelines carrying hydrogen; the future of pipeline integrity; and pipelines in North America (US steels, PHMSA compliance, and buoyancy control in hazard-prone areas).
