|
|
| A Case Study on Migration to PODS Spatial with Implementation of Efficiency and Quality Tools
Steve Dresie, GE Digital Solutions - PII | This presentation will review a completed project that was initiated to move a pipeline operator’s existing oil and gas pipeline network and related integrity data from an APDM data model to a PODS Spatial model to support an enhanced pipeline integrity management system. It will examine driving reasons behind the migration and decision to expend the effort to adopt a new PODS model. The migration methods used during the project will be presented along with challenges faced and solutions employed. |

| Chevron FDC: Compliance Driven Pipeline Maintenance and Inspection Data Collection
Paul Herrmann, Chevron Pipeline | Chevron Pipeline set out to implement an auditable, full-lifecycle solution to capture field data, then review and approve it before loading to PODS. Guided by PHMSA’s Integrity Verification Process, they created a custom, integrated solution utilizing multiple technologies. Leveraging a seamless integration between the two vendors, Chevron’s field-to-PODS workflow utilizes a staging environment to validate data before loading, supports meeting PHMSA requirements, and ensures data is trusted, verifiable, and complete. |

|
| The Liquid and Gas Mega Rules – What is Coming and When
John Jacobi, G2 Integrated Solutions | The presentation examines the effects of recent federal rule-making in the pipeline industry. PHMSA has published notices of proposed rulemaking for both liquid and natural gas pipelines. When these rules take effect, with the liquid rule scheduled for December 2016, significant new data demands will be placed on pipeline operators. Geospatial techniques will be the only way to effectively meet these demands. |
