“…Gazprom argued that these factors could lead to gas shortages and necessitated the construction of another pipeline (Lilkov & Freudenstein, 2018). According to a study by Fetisov et al (2021), the project posed minimal risks for the company as it would remain profitable even if gas consumption dropped, given the relatively low cost of Russian gas. The second Nord Stream project could mitigate the issue of Ukrainian gas transit by redirecting gas, bypassing transit countries and transporting gas directly to Germany.…”

The Nord Stream 2 pipeline, widely considered as one of the most contentious energy infrastructure projects ever built, has garnered substantial scholarly and media attention over the course of its seven‐year existence. This narrative review examines key publications in different scholarly fields. It also tracks the evolution of the project, with the aim of explaining its ultimate demise. This overview relies on a comprehensive range of scholarly research, analyses, and news reports. First, concerns that dominated the debate on Nord Stream 2 are identified in the literature. This is followed by a detailed examination of the pivotal events—including the Polish regulator's decision, the delayed Danish permit, the revised European Union regulation, and the US sanctions—that contributed to the timing of the construction of the pipeline. Ultimately, Moscow's actions in February 2022 dealt a fatal blow to the project, which was further aggravated by sabotage 7 months later. Taken together, these developments ensured that the Nord Stream 2 pipeline was never utilized, and it currently remains partially damaged and unused at the bottom of the Baltic Sea. Scholars have extensively utilized this project as a lens to explore broader trends, highlighting its significance as a prism for understanding complex (energy) politics.This article is categorized under: Energy and Power Systems > Energy Infrastructure Policy and Economics > Security Policy and Economics > Governance and Regulation Policy and Economics > Energy Transitions

“…The previous methods, such as ray and light diffraction, cannot be effectively detected (26,27). Some scholars believe that the previous testing methods for cracks in polyethylene pipes (28) have the problems of long testing time and complex testing process, which can not be continuously tested and affect the use of polyethylene pipes (29)(30)(31)(32). Therefore, finding an effective detection method for polyethylene pipeline cracks is a problem that needs to be solved at present, and it is also to avoid major economic losses and casualties caused by polyethylene pipelines (33,34).…”

Polyethylene pipeline is an essential infrastructure of gas distribution network, and there are some problems such as complex damage assessment and tedious assessment process. How to choose an effective damage assessment method for polyethylene pipelines is the focus of the implementation of the gas distribution network at present. In this paper, a nonlinear directional wave method is proposed to detect the damage of polyethylene pipeline by an acoustic wave, and the damage results of polyethylene pipeline are searched. The rationality of this method is verified by calculating the aerodynamic equation.The results show that the nonlinear fixed wave method can accurately determine the damage and crack propagation degree of the pipeline and simplify the damage assessment process, and the results are superior to the linear directional wave method. Therefore, the nonlinear directional wave can be used to assess the damage to ethylene pipelines in gas distribution networks, which has strong rationality and practicality and provides support for the actual pipeline damage assessment.

“…As a result of the accumulation of paraffin on the walls of the pipeline, the area of oil flow decreases. This phenomenon can lead to an emergency situation and a complete cessation of oil transportation through the pipeline 5 , which can lead to undesirable consequences of stopping production and large economic losses 6 – 8 . There are such consequences as the accumulation of paraffin deposits in a large amount, leading to the formation of a paraffin gel 9 , 10 , and resulting in aggregation of paraffin in the oil 11 , 12 with changes in temperature and pressure; gelation of the paraffin layer, which mainly affects the poor flow ability of waxy crude oils 13 , 14 ; layered deposition of wax, which leads to blockage of the flow line 15 , 16 and which ultimately leads to a complete stop of production processes.…”
