Abstract
Energy pipelines are currently the best energy transmission infrastructure. Pipeline integrity is closely related to the sustainable development of modern industry and the well-being of people so that pipeline integrity management has been a topic of interest to regulators, practitioners, and scholars. Over the past four decades, pipeline integrity management has developed significantly. Nevertheless, climate change-induced extremes such as torrential rains, floods, and droughts have severely disrupted the safe pipeline operation and caused major failures with great consequences in public safety and energy security. Therefore, the pipeline integrity management program must cope with climate change, where developing a resilient pipeline is expected to be a solution. This work, therefore, focuses on capturing the approach from integrity management to the development of a resilient pipeline, by understanding (i) how climate change affects the safe operation of pipelines, (ii) what methods can be used to assess and manage pipeline integrity, (iii) how the pipeline adapts to climate change, and (iv) how pipeline integrity management develops into resilience management.
