Episode 460: Leak Detection in Compressible Fluids with Jerad Stack (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Jerad Stack of Flowstate returns to the Pipeliners Podcast to discuss what changes when computational leak detection moves from liquids to compressible fluids such as natural gas, CO2, and ethylene. Russel Treat and Jerad talk through why changes in line inventory make these systems harder to monitor, how physics and machine learning work together in the models, and what an operator should consider before piloting leak detection on a compressible system.

Episode 459: Underground Methane Leak Detection with Kathleen Smits (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this episode, Russel Treat talks with Kathleen Smits of Southern Methodist University about how natural gas moves underground after a pipeline leak begins and why that matters for detection, quantification, and repair. The conversation covers how soil moisture, surface conditions, pressure, and gas composition shape what operators measure at the surface. Kathleen also discusses her research on evidence-based guidance for leak management and where that work is headed. Visit PipelinePodcastNetw
Episode 458: Why Leak Detection is Now an Integration & Cybersecurity Challenge with Nick Dresang (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this episode of the Pipeliners Podcast, host Russell Treat talks with Nick Dresang, Director of Cybersecurity at Flow State, about how leak detection systems get their data and what that means for pipeline cybersecurity. They cover OT/IT integration across the Purdue Model, cloud deployment options, and the security tradeoffs operators face as more pipeline data moves off premises.

Episode 457: The Impact of Electric Reconductoring on Pipeline Corrosion with Ashlin Bollacker and Frank Onesto (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This week's episode of the Pipeliners Podcast looks at electric transmission reconductoring, the practice of upgrading power lines with higher-capacity conductors, and its growing impact on pipeline corrosion. Host Russel Treat is joined by Ashlin Bollacker, Director of Pipeline Safety at INGAA, and returning guest Frank Onesto, Pipeline Corrosion Engineer at Burns & McDonnell, to discuss how rising AC interference from grid upgrades threatens pipeline integrity and what operators can do to get
Episode 456: PHMSA Rulemaking Update with Keith Coyle (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Keith Coyle, chief counsel at the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration, returns to the Pipeliners Podcast to walk through the agency's rulemaking priorities under the current administration.
