SMART Pipeline Management System

To stay in compliance during the pipeline decommissioning process, activities must be performed by specific dates and proper and timely notifications must be made to BSEE.

Communication or more to the point, the lack of communication between platforms and the office is the root cause of most INCS related to pipelines. A secondary cause is inconsistency due to using multiple systems of recording and documenting activities.

SMART Pipeline Management System addresses both by automating the communication process between the field and the office while providing a single system to track and manage communications to BSEE to ensure that all steps in the decommissioning process occur on time.

• Leverages information already contained in SMART for each end of each flow line on your platforms.
• When operators on the platform change the status of a platform in SMART, automated emails communicate the change to the Pipeline Manager.
• Continuously monitors the status of every pipeline segment with the platform, BSEE, and the office, and points out inconsistencies in real-time so that steps to correct the inconsistencies can be taken.
• Includes an automated scheduler for decommissioning activities so that once BSEE is notified and the communication is recorded in SMART, the clock is started toward the deadline of the next activity.

Automating communications between the platform and the office, that’s SMART.
