Anthropic Destructuring of Deposits and Pipelines for Transporting the Natural Gas

The article specifies that the network for transporting the natural gas in Eastern Romania must operate in stable, safe and economic-efficiency conditions of infrastructure which ensures a continuous supply of gaseous fuel. The paper reveals conceptual and practical problems related to the elements with influencing potential on the deterioration of natural gas pipelines. Also, it presents the conditions and risk/damage factors of the integrity of methane gas pipelines. Contextually, are evaluated all fugitive methane gas emissions from pipeline transportation systems. The article is the result of considered discussions by authors and contain synthetic selected, interpreted and processed elements in the new vision of the doctoral thesis entitled "Preventing and combating environmental impact given to storage systems, transportation and distribution of natural gas in Eastern Romania," author: Elena Maria Opriș (UP, 2012), by adding new scientific conclusions and updated recommendations
