TDW facilitates flow reversal of Gulf Coast Pipeline - Gulf of Mexico
Most pipelines only flow in one direction, usually from an oil or gas source to a market hub. But what happens if contingencies change, with source and hub effectively switching places? Changing the flow direction of a pipeline is not a simple matter of reversing a few valves. A pipeline designed to flow in one direction needs complex restructuring in order to flow in another. It’s not an impossible task, but it does require sophisticated engineering.
