Today, energy pipeline operators face many unique problems. Many relate to the installation of new pipelines with complex designs (especially offshore), the rehabilitation of older lines and, more important, the quest to increase the safety and integrity of all energy pipelines. This paper reports that these factors are crating the need for more technology involving pigging procedures, equipment and services. They are also establishing the need for better communication between pipeline operators and those involved in every aspect of pipeline pigging.
