Al-Karim Govindji, Global Head of Public Affairs for DNV Energy, talks to Elizabeth Corner about the changing geography of global energy capital, and they cover topics such as:

• The regions attracting investment.
• The growing influence of energy security and geopolitics.
• How companies operating across oil, gas and renewables should be thinking about capital allocation.
• What changing investment patterns mean for energy infrastructure.
• The future role of natural gas, CO₂ and hydrogen pipeline networks.
• How companies can navigate the risk of stranded assets as the energy transition evolves.

Almost half of pipeline infringements happen even when those carrying out the work know a pipeline is there. In this episode, Murray Peat, Senior Associate at Fisher German, joins us to discuss the findings of Linewatch’s latest Infringement Report, the role of complacency and human behaviour in third-party interference, and whether technology can ever remove the risks associated with safe digging.

Midstream may sit between upstream and downstream, but the engineering challenges it faces are interrelated, from safety and emissions management to measurement and human capital.

In this episode of the World Pipelines Podcast, Dave Curtis, Vice President of Technical Services at GPA Midstream, explores the vital role of industry collaboration in developing solutions to some of these challenges.

We explore:

• Technical opportunities to improve performance, reliability and environmental outcomes.
• How to balance emissions compliance with operational efficiency.
• Emerging technologies that will have the greatest impact on the sector.
• The importance of alignment between industry-developed standards and government regulations.
• And much more.

Dave also offers a preview of the upcoming GPA Midstream Convention, which brings together operators, suppliers, engineers, and technical experts from across the industry each year.
