About

Global Pipeline Monthly - sourcing vital intelligence on major pipeline projects all over the world

Oil and gas pipelines, whether within a country or crossing national borders, are not easy to construct or operate, and nor are they particularly easy to fund. These mega-projects are often among the world's most complex, and the combined weight of the engineering and political challenges that confront those seeking to create new pipelines (or extend existing ones) is almost as heavy as the legal problems associated with running them.

Global Pipeline Monthly is aimed at bringing to subscribers the latest news of a growing number of major pipeline projects. Global Pipeline Monthly is intended to respond to the need for the hands-on coverage that both business and government organizations require, and to provide answers to questions such as:

• which of the many "planned" pipelines are held-up in their development?
• which prospective pipelines are actually going to be built?
• how do these projects get their finance and insurance?
• which projected pipelines are a "political pipe-dream", which ones are realistic?
• how to determine which operating pipelines are profitable?
• how do insurers and risk management firms deal with the risks associated with pipeline mega-projects?

GPM will provide you with extensive information and analysis to support you in your business, be it as initiator, investor, builder, owner, operator, or advisor.

Global Pipeline Monthly will be of great interest to:

1. Oil/gas companies that own or operate pipelines, or that plan to own or operate pipelines, or that depend on pipelines to deliver fuels or products.
2. Oil/gas services companies selling capabilities to firms that own or operate pipelines, or that plan to do so.
3. Engineers/constructors designing or building pipelines or related facilities.
4. Manufacturers selling equipment (such as compressors), materials (such as coatings) or other critical supplies.
5. Law firms, accounting firms, insurers and banks who provide skills and services to those who own or operate pipelines.
6. Government agencies which regulate pipelines and provide permitting and (sometimes) financing.
7. Non-governmental organizations seeking greater knowledge and more influence.
8. International financial institutions (such as World Bank/IFC, ADB, IADB, EBRD and others) providing debt or equity financing for project.

Every month, Global Pipeline Monthly will provide you with a wealth of valuable information on to support you in your job and decision-making.
