13. ABSTRACT (Maximum 200 words)
In 1993 a pilot project between the Defense Technical Information Center and the U.S. Army Cold Regions
Research and Engineering Laboratory resulted in a proposal to conduct a state-of-the-art review of technology
and techniques for building, operating, and maintaining arctic natural gas and liquid petroleum pipelines in
the former Soviet Union. This bibliography was compiled to meet the objectives of the pipeline review.
References were compiled on dates of construction, location, route conditions, design, construction, main-
tainence, environmental impact, accidents, and production management. The bibliography is divided into
three sections: Oil and Gas Pipelines, Construction of Oil and Gas Pipelines, and Accidents; it was compiled
using commercially available databases. Subjects searched included information on pipelines in the former
Soviet Union, primarily in the eastern and western areas of Siberia. References were eliminated that were not of
direct interest to the pipeline study.
