Pipeline SMS Initiative 11

In USA operators have invested financial resources to ensure their infrastructure is reliable, including spending over $2.2 billion in 2014 to evaluate, inspect and maintain pipelines. Pipeline companies finance research projects on various pipeline challenges, such as cracking, hydro-testing, and non-destructive examination. Some of this research is coordinated by the industry alone and additional work is completed by collaborating with pipeline regulatory agencies.

The name of the object

The Diameter of the Pipes, the capacity

The Number of Pipelines

The Ways of Laying

Optimization of information processes SIPS is based on the principle of “Сommon geo-information space" objects of

pipeline transportation of hydrocarbons and products of their processing in ECE UN countries.

USING GEOSPACE DATA FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF INFORMATION PROCESSES OF SIPS

14

Implementation of the geolocation of all the information allows easy spatial-temporal analysis and to identify causal relationships

USING GEOSPACE DATA FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF INFORMATION PROCESSES OF SIPS

15

Any data presented in a spatially distributed form, are perceived more clearly, which reduces the probability of errors when making decisions.

Thank You for kind attention!
