The movement of fuels and other hazardous products over an extensive pipeline system is one of the most complex business endeavors on the planet. Unlike products produced in a factory or raw materials extracted in mining, pipeline infrastructure requires precise management over a large geographic footprint.
Pipeline integrity management is crucial for ensuring pipelines operate efficiently and safely. While the simplistic view may suggest that checking for cracks, dents, or corrosion is enough, the reality is far more complex.
The energy sector is one of the world's most complex business environments. From resource extraction to product refinement and distribution, numerous environmental, engineering, operational, and economic challenges test even the most experienced managers. Given such management complexity, the energy sector is often a laboratory for advanced management techniques and decision-making models later adopted by other industries and businesses seeking to improve their performance.
The decision-making process involved in managing a pipeline network is complex, and environmental constraints make monitoring pipelines difficult. With pipeline networks being the core of how energy companies create value for shareholders and consumers, they require planned maintenance programs to keep them working effectively.
While it’s best not to make too many predictions in business, having foresight of potential issues is certainly a plus. This holds especially true for pipeline operators, where minor pipeline integrity issues have the potential to impact the operational effectiveness of hundreds of kilometers of pipeline over time.
We know many energy companies with large pipeline networks seek ways to secure more value from their infrastructure. The ideal model for a pipeline is for it to be 100% productive, 100% of the time, with no downtime – ever.
