ReCo was tasked with evacuating a 20.43-mile-long pipeline with a 30-inch outer diameter. The pipeline starting pressure was 634 PSIG, and the goal was to reduce it to 78 PSIG by transferring the gas into an active in-service line. The project required precise execution to maintain efficiency and safety despite severe winter weather.

ReCo successfully moved 20.7 million standard cubic feet (MMSCF) of natural gas in two days, achieving the desired pressure reduction without delays or safety incidents. Key challenges included:

• Adverse Weather Conditions: Operating during a winter storm required continuous monitoring and expert operation to ensure equipment reliability.
• Efficient Gas Transfer: Real-time data monitoring and precise equipment coordination were essential to keep the equipment functioning and the gas moving.
• Safety and Compliance: ReCo’s strict safety protocols protected personnel and ensured adherence to all client procedures.

ReCo completed the evacuation safely and on schedule despite extreme weather conditions. By transferring gas instead of venting, the project minimized emissions while ensuring operational success. The ability to adapt to harsh conditions reinforced ReCo’s reputation for reliability, efficiency, and environmental stewardship in complex pipeline operations.
