Environmental Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) and Risk Assessment of Crude Oil and Gas Pipelines :: Special Issue

About This Special Issue

Environmental Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) and Risk Assessment is an extremely useful tool in providing a framework in which to identify the possible hazards and evaluate the risks associated with all crude oil and gas pipelines. The importance is increasing this type of transport for hydrocarbons since energy demand is expanding continuously. ESIA and RA are must building these transport vehicles and preparation of these analyses have paramount importance. Any development in these directions is extremely important.
