"Onshore Natural Gas Transmission Pipeline Networks - The Big Picture"

The speaker will be Mr. Telemachos Vaitsis, Dipl. Civil Engineer, Project Manager Oil & Gas Sector

The lecture will be held online via:

• Microsoft-Teams: HERE
• Livestreaming: https://diavlos.grnet.gr /event/e1963

Lecture summary:

The speech focuses on the presentation of the five (5) distinct phases of maturation, development of gas transmission pipelines projects as follows:

1. Business Case Development Plan- Feasibility Study
2. Project Maturity/Optimal Solution Selection/Pre-FEED Design.
3. Project Planning – Final Study (FEED) & Tender Documentation – Environmental Impact Studies, Safety Studies, Licensing.
4. Project Implementation – Construction
5. Commissioning – Start-Up-Trial Operation

Emphasis will be given on examples – from the speaker's occupation and experience – on the projects recently implemented or planned in Greece such as the Trans Adriatic Pipeline (TAP), the National Natural Gas System (ESFA), as well as the onshore part of the IGI Poseidon pipeline .
