Our Bureau

New Delhi , April 22

GAIL (India) Ltd has joined forces with the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) for formation of an exclusive cell for development of uniform standards for high-pressure oil and gas transmission pipeline systems.

These national standards would be in line with similar international standards such as the American Petroleum Institute and European Standards, the company said.

"The need for such a standard arises in view of the rapid development of oil and gas infrastructure facilities with special emphasis on their safety and operational controls. Since such national standards do not exist today, there have been numerous view points on the deployment of technologies for pipelines," GAIL said. The BIS standards will set minimum acceptable specifications for design, construction and procurement of oil and gas transmission pipeline systems. This is intended not only to ensure safety and security of pipeline infrastructure but also to lay down minimum technical compliance requirements.
