Pipeline Integrity Intelligence moves beyond periodic inspections by integrating ILI data, hydraulic simulation, SCADA, GIS, maintenance records, and AI into a unified digital pipeline model. This continuous, near real-time view of asset condition helps operators improve decision-making, manage risk proactively, and optimise integrity management throughout the pipeline lifecycle.

The hyperscale data centre boom sweeping Asia is generating materially divergent outcomes for LNG demand across the region, with Southeast Asia emerging as a compelling new demand driver while South Asia remains structurally out of reach for gas, according to new research from Wood Mackenzie.

Harvest Midstream (Harvest) continues to build on its commitment to Alaska, supporting new North Slope production, delivering North Slope natural gas to Interior Alaska and advancing critical infrastructure solutions designed to meet Alaska’s evolving energy needs. “In Alaska and throughout our operations, Harvest has built a track record of turning ideas into infrastructure,” said Harvest CEO Jason C.

Greene Tweed has broadened its world-class testing infrastructure with cryogenic leak and supercritical CO2 rapid gas decompression (RGD) testing capabilities. These investments expand Greene Tweed’s support for today's mission-critical industries, including semiconductor, aerospace, and energy, while preparing customers for emerging opportunities in hydrogen and carbon capture, utilisation, and storage (CCUS).

The natural systems that absorb nearly half of all CO2 produced by human activities are under increasing stress. The policies and financial frameworks designed to protect them are not keeping pace. Those are the central findings of Nature capital: the unpriced carbon, a Wood Mackenzie report published in August 2026. In 2025, oceans accounted for approximately 12 GtCO2 of annual absorption; forests contributed a further 6 GtCO2.

Join Rick Desaulniers and Miguel Maldonado as they discuss how multi-technology inline inspection helps operators better understand complex interacting threats while reducing uncertainty and unnecessary excavations.

DNV called on the energy sector to treat infrastructure resilience as a strategic and societal necessity in the face of ever-changing and increasingly complex threats, unveiling its new ‘From concern to control’ position paper at the ONS conference. The independent energy expert and assurance provider’s paper introduces a new Resilience Framework and highlights the mindset shift needed to move resilience from a compliance exercise to a strategic priority.
