Haile Woldesellasse, Solomon Tesfamariam
Abstract
A significant number of research papers focusing on the risk analysis of oil and gas pipelines have been published. The present study includes a bibliometric analysis and literature review, considering publications from 1982 to 2022, to provide a comprehensive overview of research contributions in the field of risk assessment for oil and gas pipelines. Various techniques, such as trend analysis, bibliographic coupling, co-occurrence analysis, network analysis, and citation analysis are used to study the published papers related to the subject topic. Based on the research's keywords, the co-occurrence analysis reveals the strong and weak connections between various topics in this domain, and as a result, future research areas can be identified.
