Thinking Outside of the Traditional Box. Established Isolation Services, Innovative Applications: Rethinking Pipeline Interventions
This paper will quantify avoided downtime and emissions, provide decision criteria for selecting isolation methods, and demonstrate how operators can transition from traditional approaches toward future-ready interventions that combine proven reliability with innovative application. Let’s start today by doing things differently.
