“Exxon Mobil Corp. said Monday it has dropped further shale exploration in Poland after two wells failed to yield commercial quantities of natural gas, a hit for the country’s efforts to reduce its dependence on imports from Russia”
We know that Obama has cancelled the Keystone Pipeline- why not take all our resources and send some workers to the Eastern European countries to build a pipeline? This will not only help out our neighbors but also create jobs for thousands of people.
“Analysts have said that Poland and other Eastern European countries faced a big challenge for developing unconventional energy resources, owing to a lack of infrastructure and manpower. Unlike the U.S. and Canada, Poland doesn’t have a well-developed pipeline system to move gas from the fields it is produced to where it is consumed, nor the strong drilling services industry needed to tap shale reservoirs.”

knowledge of pipe fittings
1. Pipeline System Overview:
In order to transport liquids or gases, you must use a variety of channels, pipelines, in addition to straight pipes other than steel, but also use all kinds of pipe fittings: pipe bend elbow must be used, when to use the size of variable diameter pipeline
Head, fork to use when the three links connecting pipe joints and when to use flanged joints, open transmission medium to achieve the purpose, but also with various valve, reduce heat to shrink or expansion of the piping system vibration frequency shadow
Ring, but also with the expansion joint. In addition, pipeline, there are a variety of instruments connected with the various joints plug so. We used the pipeline system, in addition to other accessories other than the straight collectively referred to as pipe fittings.
2. Metallic materials common sense:
Metal is our daily life and industry the most widely used material. It consists of steel, iron and several types of non-ferrous metals, of which the steel is the most common material most widely used
Expected, the major component is iron, steel, and the rest are man-made and various alloying elements added impurities. It is because of the added alloying elements of these different varieties. The number of different kinds of steel was formed
Such as ordinary carbon steel, stainless steel, alloy steel, etc., in these added elements, carbon C plays an important role.
2.1 The common chemical elements in steel:
Percentage of all steel for the majority of iron (Fe), except the other, usually contain the following types of elements (often called the steel alloying elements):
C (C) Si (silicon) Mn (manganese) P (P) S (sulfur) and
Cr (chromium) Ni (Ni) Mo (molybdenum) Ti (titanium) V (V) and so on.
Under normal circumstances, in which P, S as the impurity content, the lower the better quality steel.
2.2 Classification of Steel:
In accordance with the steel alloying elements added to the different species, we can simply be divided into three major categories of steel: carbon steel. Alloy Steel. Stainless steel.

Southcross Energy, Dallas, Texas, has reported that the company has entered into a long-term agreement with Swift Energy Company to provide natural gas gathering, transportation and processing services for production from Swift Energy’s acreage in McMullen County, Texas. Southcross will construct a 25-mile, 20-inch natural gas pipeline with related lateral gathering lines and convert an existing dry pipeline system to rich gas service in order to gather the Swift Energy gas for processing.
The McMullen extension will have an initial, expandable capacity of 120 million cubic feet of natural gas per day. The system, which is expected to be in service in mid-2011, will originate in McMullen County, Texas and extend to Southcross’ CCNG Transmission pipeline for gas delivery to and processing at Southcross’ processing plant near Gregory, Texas.
“This pipeline will be an additional extension for Southcross into the Eagle Ford Shale play, an important step in accomplishing our growth strategy. We are delighted to establish this relationship with Swift Energy and provide the important services Swift Energy requires in South Texas,” says David W. Biegler, Southcross Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
