Abstract
With the accelerated construction and aging of underground oil and gas pipelines, trenchless technology (TT) has developed rapidly in recent years. This paper briefly introduces the trenchless installation, repair (rehabilitation), replacement, and cleaning technologies that can be used for oil and gas pipelines. Advantages, limitations, technical features, and application scopes are summarized to provide a basis for construction method selection. In addition, this paper collects twenty standards related to trenchless construction technology for oil and gas pipes, so as to quickly identify the standards to be referenced before construction. Finally, this paper analyzes the market for TT and presents key technical gaps.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
