Turn-Key Solution for PHMSA Compliant, Best Practice Oil and Gas Pipeline Control Rooms

PHMSA has announced its intent to inspect every pipeline control room by year-end 2015 for compliance to 49 CFR (parts 192.631 for gas and/or 195.446 for hazardous liquids, also called The Rule). The oil and gas industry anticipates that future control room inspections  will: become more extensive than in previous years, Will focus more deeply on alarm management and adequate information for the controller, and will ensure that the “lessons learned” are used to continually improve operating practice.

Therefore it is even more important that pipeline operators, and midstream operators with DOT pipe, implement plans, procedures and tools to comply with The Rule and increase efficiency by Operating with Excellence through the implementation of pipeline control room operating best practices.

Since the publication of the PHMSA CRM Rule, EnerSys Corporation (USA) has been at the forefront of working with pipeline operators to implement a proven pipeline control room environment that not only complies with The Rule, but allows the control room to Operate with Excellence.  The result of our five year effort is POEMS – Pipeline Operations Excellence Management System. 

Through established procedures, tools and services POEMS provides compliance to The Rule and reliable, safe control room operations for small and medium size pipeline operators with DOT pipe. The POEMS solution utilises demonstrated processes and tools to enhance pipeline operational integrity, shrink implementation time, speed adoption and significantly reduced total cost of ownership.
