Pipelines are the unsung backbone of the global energy system–quietly moving billions of barrels of oil and trillions of cubic feet of gas with unmatched efficiency, reliability, and scale. In the U.S., they handle nearly 70% of all petroleum shipments, or over 14 billion barrels annually, without the headlines or volatility of seaborne trade. What makes pipelines indispensable isn’t just cost or carbon footprint; it’s continuity.

The journey of natural gas from the wellhead to our homes and businesses is fraught with challenges, not least of which is the presence of water vapor. This seemingly innocuous component can lead to a host of problems, including pipeline corrosion, hydrate formation that can obstruct flow, and a reduction in the heating value of the gas. For decades, our industry has worked tirelessly to refine the methods and technologies employed to remove this water, and the evolution of natural gas dehydrato
