    When pipelines age, the environment pays attention

    Saudi Arabia’s upstream oilfields are dynamic systems. As water cut rates rise and operating velocities drop, pipelines designed for different conditions decades ago begin to corrode from the inside – quietly, persistently, and at scale. The mechanical integrity risk is real. So is the environmental liability that accumulates alongside it. Replacing aged infrastructure isn’t just […]

    Four facilities. Ninety days. A Category-2 EIA that has to satisfy NCEC, align with SAEP-13, include a Health Impact Assessment, and land a Construction Environmental Management Plan with a dust mitigation component, all before a single upgrade to Dhahran, Qatif, or Al Hasa’s fire and oily water systems can begin. That’s not a paperwork exercise. […]
