I commenced my career in 1971 with a Company who had constructed,owned,operated and maintained approximately 1,200 miles of 30", 1,200 miles 36" Natural Gas transportation Pipelines as well as thousands of miles of pipelines to transport non processed Natural Gas to several processing plants. The first infrastructure (30" Pipeline) of the above Pipeline,started to move Natural Gas in October 1957 in Western Canada between the Rocky Mtns, and the interior plateau. Safety Regulations as to the SAFE operation of these pipelines and Infrastructure is and or was under the control of the "Canadian Nation Transportation Safety Board".
My career seen me starting with a Mop and bucket. As time marched on, I continued with never ending studies,examinations and eventually was a Power Engineer responsible for the SAFE,RELIABLE,and COST EFFECTIVE day to operations of much of the above pipeline. The last 25 years of my career was principally responsible for a fleet of Gas Generator Turbines,and other related equipment on the Southern portion of the above mentioned pipeline...approximately the span of 350 miles. I can assure you the pipeline is so stringently watched by Canadian Federal Regulations,Provincial Regulations pulse in house operating procedures that all and any possible PIPELINE FAILURES are reduced to almost 0 % on the pipelines that transporter Processed natural gas (Methane, CH4, ).
With the above statement,in my 40 year career, I was part of three pipeline Breaches / Failures (30" and or 36" processed Gas Pipelines). EACH time the investigation uncovered an act of GOD/ Shifting of the Earths layers causing pipe to fail. Canadian Legislation, reads such that all 30" and 36" pipes as well as other size pipelines that transport Processed Natural Gas (Methane, CH4,) MUST have an INTERNAL NON DESTRUCTIVE TOOL placed inside said pipelines, and all internal surface shall be checked for any abnormalities! Tooling is placed inside these pipelines, at set operating time frames to locate any DEGRADATION of these pipelines no matter what the causes are!
Tooling is known as a PIG...or PIGGING TOOL. Tool is pushed along the interior length of these pipes, with the flow of the natural Gas moving at a very controlled speed. All findings are handed to the Canadian Transportation Safety Board!
Over the 40 year span of my Career, Unfortunately,I have to believe that individual whom are to busy to READ all facts, attend meetings and LISTEN to learn about natural Gas Pipelines are setting them selves up for Fasle information. Methane, CH4, is a colorless, odorless, flammable gas that burns with a faintly blue flame. "Natural gas," used by many North Americans for heating and cooking, is primarily methane (>90%). The 'gas odor' is from an added substance so that gas leaks can be detected.

Today's Featured Article - History of the Nuffield Tractor - by Anthony West. The Nuffield tractor story started in early 1945.
